[quote name='FlyByNight' post='8504' date='Apr 24 2007, 09:13 PM']I want to take my son squidding in Newport, but I do not want him exposed to the lead in typical commercial squid jigs. Are there squid jigs on the market that do not use lead as a weight?[/quote]
Worried about little toddler chewing anything they can get hold of? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zorro.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />
There are jigs that look like a fish which are free of weight. Baited jigs is always a option. Some premium jigs comes with their lead weight cover in a protective paint, these would probably be OK too <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
