question about split shot

[fishermantim4]

does everyone use the tin stuff or does someone know where to get better stuff, that doesnt cost an arm and leg to buy?

[Raquettedacker]

If your talking about lead split shot, you cant use it any more...

[JJ]

You can't buy lead split shot any more, under 1/2 ounce; it's not illegal to use lead if you stocked up.

Wow !! Didn't know that. Thanks JJ. Their getting serious about the lead. But yet every lure I buy has the lead warning from California in it.

   I have seen lead split shots sold attached to a line to make the total weight to the legal half ounce up around pulaski.

The lead stuff must be legal in Pa. because I bought some at Cabela's.

[oldline]

I stock up when I go to Pennsy.

Dam!!! I had a ton of lead split shot from my old bait shop that I gave to some old customers to melt down for jigs. I had no clue you could use it if you had it. I'll have to dig around in the old boxes to see what I have left.

YOu can use it just cant buy under .5 oz, I stock up on micro shot when I go to Erie for my fall steelie runs or my brother brings it up when he comes for Salmon and browns from CT.  worth the drive, fish a day or two, get your shot then you wont have to put on 15 shinney tin balls that look like your tryin to dredge the river for mud sharks when actually you hardly have enough to throw across the creek

Man!! I wasn't aware you could still use it!!! Thought when all this came out they said, you would no longer be able to buy it and use it. Threw all I had out and bought new. Hate having to put three or more shot on the leader to keep bait down. Found out that one large tin wasn't doing what I wanted when fishing a shallow lake for pike. Only dropping line 4' or so, checked tip ups and bait was swimming around in the hole.......

[fishhead4268]

yea its junk, can still use it just cant buy the small micro or under.5 I believe.  Its so shiny and you need so many, try tungsten if you cant get lead, I have jigs made with it and its great as well!!  I centerpin the river so need the good micro shot to run my shot patern!!
