I am getting back into fishing and since the last time the boat was in the water our "Make everything safe state of Massachusetts" made lead tackle illegal.
I have looked for the information on if LEAD spinner baits and painted skirted jigs are legal or not and cant find a definite answer. Also what is the fine for LEAD worm slip weights? If I have a loose 3/8 oz. worm weight in my compartment and the game warden found it how much is the fine? Just like this state to make something illegal then not tell you the fine for it!!
Just heard it is $500.00 per line if a lead sinker under 1 oz. is used in the water. I hope that isn't true! But what is the fine for loose sinkers in the boat?
