we used to to tie our own bucktail jigs but we kind of got out of it so now my wife wants to learn how to do it but im afraid of her touching the lead then touching our newborn. does anybody know what metals they are using for lead free jigs/weights? and where can i find it

thanks

lead-free weights are 95% tungsten/5% nickel. Depending on who makes 'em.

She could always wear latex gloves,works for me when loading cast bullets and making my own saltwater style jigs.
