If only he would get as enthusiastic about doing something about the pollution / raw sewage being pumped into our rivers and waterways.

You can absolutely guarantee it would be implemented with lunatics Miliband and Starmer at the helm.

No conflict of interest with Pallatrax 'stonzes' then.

What doesn't damage the environment lol...everything.
I only drop leads when my water gets really weedy as higher chance of landing fish obviously and no need otherwise but a few leads buried in silt in a big expanse of water wont do any harm surely. I saw those evolve tackle lead alternatives at the show. They wouldn't tell me what they were...top secret apparently 🤣 too secret to save the environment obviously!
People still have lead pipes going into their houses so 😬

This guy has a vested interest in banning it as the owner of palertrax if I'm not mistaken ? As we haven't really left the EU I can see this being implemented here but I will not buy anything from his company as there will be plenty of alternatives.

Just seen this post from Simon Pomeroy on Facebook
**BREAKING NEWS REFERENCE LEAD BAN**
A controversial topic for some but a real 'no brainer' to me as the facts have been there for years.
I have just received the EU Commissions recommendations to the REACH evaluation into lead in angling from research completed by the European Chemicals Agency.
I am very pleased to see that their recommendations are that there will be a phase out ban of lead angling weights.
I am also very happy to see that the recommendation in regards to purposefully ejectioning leads will be banned from 6 months of the legislation being enacted. I bought this practice to the attention of ECHA and they were, rightly so, horrified that such a reckless act was being promoted by the industry.
It is also, on several levels, positive to see that products containing a concentration of 1% of lead or more must come with the following warning clearly displayed.
WARNING: This product contains lead which is very toxic to the environment and may damage fertility, or the unborn child.
The time is here, has been for years, for the industry to do the right thing and go over to the readily available non toxic options like the following companies have already done:
Nutrabaits, Dinsmores, Energofish, Evolve Tackle, Lead Free, UFO and so many more.
If the UK industry ignores such a stark warning you really have to question their agendas?
If anyone would like any further information, especially concerned fisheries, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards. Simon.
