Well today marks the day when the lead ban goes into effect in my home state of Massachusetts and in my infinite foresight I have forgotten to buy some alternate weights. I hardly ever use sliding worm weights and rarely use split shot, but one thing I really need are some tungsten jigheads. I looked on the Bass Pro website and found very little in the way of tungsten jigheads, especially ones for panfishing. Anyone know a good place to find some smaller tungsten jigheads?

I did a quick search and found no tungsten jigs in small sizes, there are companies which specialize in lead free, I looked at some of the websites. Get on the web and see.

Is the Massachusetts ban on the use of lead tackle or just the sale of it? I can't believe that they can force the retirement of what must be tens of thousands of dollars worth of otherwise good fishing tackle. Most states with a lead ban at least have grandfathered existing tackle and just outlawed the sale of new lead.
