100 fishing items

[Phunnyfarm]

How about 2 50" muskies...totalling 100" of musky. You may have to fish night and day for quite a while, but it's "for the kids"!

I don't know who could argue that and still sleep at night!

You guys are forgetting the most important fishing item of all. Bring 100 bottles of Germany's finest. Then, for music class, they could learn to sing'"A hundred bottles of beer on the wall." That song is a real classic. Seriously, the plastic worms or grubs would be the best.

I would use the plastic grubs, don't get Exude though because they have lead in them for some reason.

I believe all plastics have a very small amount of Lead in them... Exude is just one of the few that actually puts it on the package. I believe the lead is in the coloring? I could be wrong. I'm going to send off an e-mail to someone who knows.. hopefully will get back to you.

I by no means wanted to hijack this thread... but just to inform.. I sent a letter to the regional sales manager of Exude plastics... here is the reply I got from him regarding lead in plastics.

Deitz -

First off, the sticker is mandatory in the state of California. If its

not on there, you get fined. I don't want it to sound like everyone is

getting fined all the time because that is definitely not the case.

Generally, the lawyers in California wait until someone with deep

pockets breaks this type of law. Then, they file a class action lawsuit

on the behalf of some "concerned citizens".

We have to put the sticker on everything because: If we sell our

products to a shop in Oregon (where the stickers are not required) for

example, and they go out business and sell their inventory to a shop in

California, we would be in violation of the law if our products were not

stickered. Crazy as it sounds, that is how things work. Anyone who does

not put a sticker like this on their packaging is playing Russian

roulette with their company.

Now, for the reason why our products contain lead. Plastic, as you

probably know, is a petroleum product. All pertroleum products contain a

small amount of lead. There's no getting around it. You've probably

noticed before, but tackle boxes are notorious for having the sticker on

them. If you really want to get technical, plastic toys have lead in

them too.

Mepps has lead in their products as well. Pure brass is too brittle to

machine. To make it more machinable, brass is combined with lead.

Machinable brass generally contains 3% lead.

I hope I answered your question for you.

What about Gulp baits that are water based, they wouldn't have lead in them. They are very stinky if you handle them though.

My 5yr old girl just had there 100th day today. The wife put together 100 picture collage. Mostly of her being in the outdoors with us fishing. She loves it.

Thanks Deitz for taking the time to get that information.

I think the kids probably wont touch the stuff if its in a jar or something but I could be wrong.
