I went to Bass Pro Shops to enjoy a day of birthday shopping for myself. I recently came back from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Western North Carolina after some trout fishing. While fishing there, I became convicted about using lead BB sinkers on my leaders while nymph fishing. I should be looking for an enviromentally safe and biodegradable option for lead shot to protect the environment. While at Bass Pro Shops, I found a Loon product entitled Deep Soft Weight for this purpose. Have any of you used this product or do you know of another enviromentally safe substitute for lead shot. I would appreciate any suggestions.
