    Having read a recent thread in the classifide section, I was reminded of a question that I have been pondering. Should the laws end up being changed in the areas where I fish making lead use illegal, what are the alternatives for a hobbiest jig/lure maker. Would a person be able to use the same molds with an alternate metal. What kind of metal would one use and what equipment would be needed?
    By the way, that guy was right. Lead kills wildlife, It killed a turkey for me a week ago.

    There is lead inside every hook too. You youl have to make your own hooks also.

    Steel?
