Brass
So they're outlawing lead, but they permit brass?? My guess is that the dissolving copper would be even more hazardous to all living things. --BjKa (talk) 11:23, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hook line and sinker
What does the sinker do in this phrase, does it just mean the whole lot has been swallowed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.241.188 (talk) 18:55, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Banned lead sinkers UK
Does anyone happen to know which Lead (Pb) sinkers are banned in the UK? Your article mentions that most are, but it's not specific. Thanks. 92.19.248.62 (talk) 14:00, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Knoch?
Never heard of that word, and I can't find it anywhere online. Someone should provide an etymological source, or remove it. AnyGuy (talk) 22:09, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
