If you eat fish, care about the environment, or that if trout eat these and get some sort of deleterious effects on spawning etc that possibly it may just effect the ecosystem you care about in order to fish for bass, then you'd not be tearing this guy apart.

The fact that BPA in plastic bottles etc, has been shown to act as an Estrogen and effect human reproduction as an estrogen etc, should make you stop and think that maybe we should pay attention to plastics in general when we use them as lures to fish with.

It's not a crisis by any means, and lead is probably more of an issue in fishing weights, but still if you don't care enough to actually look into it then well you know......ignorance is bliss!

There is no need to crucify a guy for making a post about something, no matter what you think his reasons are or how people may interpret it. I'm sure I'll get crucified by some armchair warriors as well but meh, I really could care less.

I........ Or plain and simple ban SENKOS!! hahaha

As far as it being painful to not use senkos, I think the exact opposite. Its painful to have to use senkos!

yeah means you haven't figured out the pattern
