Does Dicks not carry lead jigs in MA anymore? Was at the one in worcester and only saw tin and tungsten jigs

[LENZ]

If people wont buy them cause they're illegal, its not a wise sales strategy to sell them.

[LCMelon]

I was just curious cause im pretty sure i saw lead sinkers there

[stripernut]

As of yet is is not illegal to sell them, just to use them...

[The Jigger]

I don't know why they would stop selling them or make it illegal where they are still legal in saltwater.

If I had to guess, its sales related. Most dicks have 6 or so isles of fishing gear, only 1 is typically dedicated to saltwater tackle.
