InteraX Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I just saw this on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/BZS-Fishing-Weights-Selection-Smooth/dp/B09KY6T9GH/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_1/259-1730419-7268639?pd_rd_w=p0WOU&content-id=amzn1.sym.79b812bf-5c8b-4c0c-851c-784423adaff5&pf_rd_p=79b812bf-5c8b-4c0c-851c-784423adaff5&pf_rd_r=9B8SGJ28FGTEY55AAEQQ&pd_rd_wg=6N7UT&pd_rd_r=143d035a-dde4-4935-a197-a47a078239db&pd_rd_i=B09KY8DHVH&th=1&psc=1 So, these use Zinc as an alternative to lead. Has anyone tried them and would these have any issue. I suspect these are the future as I think lead is slowly being banned around the world.

Golden Paws Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Lead has a specific gravity (weight v size) of 11.35, whereas Zinc is 7.2. Incidentally, Tungsten is is 19.22 but I suspect it's cost would be prohibitive. Most of the lakes I fish are fairly weed free and no snags I'm aware of and I try not to drop the lead on every fish as I don't think it's necessary.
