It can be a great hobby and profitable under certain conditions. Here in Maine I would shy away from lead if you wanted any sales here. This September the sale of lead jigs and sinkers under 2.5 inches in length or 1 ounce or less are being banned.. As well illegal to use them starting September 2026. Now what being pushed is tungsten for weights as steel sinkers is really not a very good option. Yes they are pushing to try and ban rubber worms and the like because it’s causing deaths and ect. On to many fish because they can’t dissolve them after they have been swallowed. So if I was to get started in a lure making business I would keep those issues in mind. While I can’t speak for other states rules and regulations. My guess they will be eventually following this stuff..
