Hi Folks
I just picked up a 6/0 Senator and its the time I've ever seen a fishing reel come with a Health Warning.
The box says it contains Lead. Can someone tell me where the lead would be??
I Don't know. I have a lot of reels and have never seen this warning. Is this a China reel?

Nope. Its a genuine USA made one.
I can't think of any parts that would contain lead unless there's something inside made of Pewter or Pewter plated
I think that is on the box of reels destined for certain parts of the country. I believe led may be used in some casting processes.

Here in California, if there is any traces of lead in the process (lead can be used as a lubricant in manufacturing) or the absolute material chemistry is not certain, the marking is added...and instead of having one marking just for California, it's provided for all products.
Cool Thanks Guys
