I remember as a kid (Amazing I can even remember anything today!) biting the lead sinkers to make them tight on the line, yes putting lead in my mouth, and biting down hard!
But my memory is going, can't see as good as I use to, can't remember very well, eye sight not as good as it use too . . . oh, and I can't remember all the other things . . .
Probably has more to do with my "visit" with three punko's that assaulted me and knocked me unconscious than any lead poisoning!
Just more government interference, IMO!
