Throw It Away

I bet a crispy new 2 dollar bill that you´ll get cancer a lot faster by fishing under the sun without proper UV light protection than from handling lead sinkers while you are at it.

If you are doing both at the same time, how do you know where the cancer came from?

Not something I look at, if we are talking similar lures, they are going to have a relatively equal microscopic effect of cancer causing substances. I guess I'd buy the one with the cancer disclosure because it is likely a newer package.

So lure's vs baits.. What's the difference. Spinner bait, crank bait, ect..

Petty junk removed.

 

Tungsten carbide is not toxic.  Neither is lead, unless inhaled or digested.  Clearly, some common sense must come into play.

Almost all of my lead baits have a similar warning. It states something such as a "a chemical known in the state of California to cause cancer"  For better or worse I stopped paying attention to this warning. If I die, I'll die happy. Plus, pretty sure theres more lead I come into contact with the firearms.

If that is all there is to it they sure could save a lot of BS on the warning. 

 

WARNING: If inhaled or digested this product could cause cancer.

Would you throw a bait that has cancer causing

chemicals or materials in it?

BPA, a chemical used in plastic for food packaging as well as many water bottles, causes cancer. Just don't eat the fishing lure and you'll probably be OK.
