1-1/2 oz Bullet Weights Egg Fishing Sinkers (10-Pack) - Premium Lead Weights for Bass, Trout & Walleye Fishing | Freshwater & Saltwater Use

These lead sinkers are uniformly made with reliable open channels to insert fishing line or leader material. They will not rust as some of the current market weights do; however, over time when used particularly in salt water they will oxidize on the surface with a white lead oxide, just as bank sinkers will do. Care should be used when handling such discolored weights and fresh weights to avoid ingesting this material; it is important to wash hands thoroughly before handling food to avoid lead ingestion and potential lead poisoning. In my view, pregnant women and children should not be handling lead weights due to the increased potential of lead poisoning to the child or fetus. They are safe to handle and use with proper precaution; just as fire is safe to use and handle with proper precautions.
