New Hampshire's newest lead law goes into effect on June 1, 2016. This new lead ban makes all weights and jigs (weighted hooks) one ounce or less illegal for sale or use in New Hampshire freshwater. Any hook with lead on it weighing one ounce or less will be illegal. The new law does not affect lead core line, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, spoons, poppers, plugs or flies. Click here to read it for yourself. Remember, this ban only prohibits the sale and freshwater use.
Hopefully we will begin to see a better selection, availability, and pricing of non-lead options that are better than tin as more states ban the use of lead jigs and weights.
