A thought that came to mind while revisiting this thread:

Is there any enforcement of the lead sinker law within the numerous bass tournaments on the Lake? Lead has been a staple of the bass circuit for years. Is anyone checking these guys out before the zoom off at the crack of dawn? Or is the revenue represented too much to justify random checks and the hassle?

My family put the lead ban into effect a year or so before it became law. Shouldn't bass tournament participants be held to the same standard?

Anyone with insights? How is the use of lead policed within the bass tournaments?
