I'm wondering if anybody out there knows of web sites that sell these tiny split shots to New York residents and what kind and size shot do you recommend, Redwing,Sure Shot etc... I'm looking for the refill bags, not the tubes.

Comes in the smaller sizes like the lead does, also has no "wings" to reopen it.

I expect NY to totally ban the use of lead shot by 2005... I live in NE PA and fish the Salmon River quite a bit. If you need the lead, PM me and I will buy what you need and ship to you...

Have relatives in Bama that ordered the lead shot and had them delivered to me. Talked to a guy on the CATT this past week-end and he has his shipped to N. Carolina, and then to him. What a hastle. Really need to load up. Good luck on the Salmon River.

If I would have known I would have brought some out there for guys. It seemed one would have to use twice as much tin to equal lead. I also talked with a guide who said alot of locals go out and fill buckets with weight when the levels drop in the summer. Anyway I have found redwings split very effective, especially using the tubes. I also like to go with split w/o the re-use wings...I find they get hung up more than plain split. just my 2 cents.
