[quote name='Nautilusly' post='8506' date='Apr 24 2007, 11:25 PM']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=':moped:' />
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='

Not so much chewing, but just holding the jigs. The darn lead will rub off on your hands. Take a lead sinker and run it; it will leave a dark stain. The stain is small lead particles. Now if you eat a sandwitch, you injest lead. In general, fisherment have been incredibly lax about lead use...maybe that explains why a lot of guy I run into on the water are not exactly rocket scientists if you know what I mean...
Anyway, tell me more about bait fishing for squid. Will squid in the Northeast US take bait at this time of year, or are they spawing and not interested in food?
