It's a constant attack on your rights as a fisherman, hunter or outdoorsman. Many people feel we harm the environment and hurt populations of game with our fishing and hunting. It's special interest groups who are usually behind this stuff. I love fishing Maine and plastics are what we use the most..but your right it doesn't stop with Maine. If this ever grabs a foothold it will grow just as lead free areas and of course the latest attempt at control.........gun control.
