lead free fishing

[mcfly]

At the whirlpool when we need weights we use rocks. Main reason being, the place is a mine field for snags. Your guaranteed to lose lots of tackle at the whirlpool if you fish bottom like I do lol. We tie a rubber band on the line and get a big nasty rock and wrap it up. When the carp or channel cat runs with your bait, the rock hopefully slips out of the rubber band letting you fight the fish directly!

Old Timer's idea seems a lot more practical and less caveman style LOL which i am totally down with
