On January 17^th in the state of Maine, State Representative Paul Davis introduced a bill to outlaw the use of all “rubber” lures.

Representative Davis is so disconnected from the outdoors lifestyle that he thinks rubber is a standard material in the production of fishing lures. That’s the level of ignorance we, as anglers, are fighting just to protect our sport and our opportunities to engage in it.

All soft lures would likely be lumped into the “rubber” category by bureaucrats who don’t know any better and simply don’t care.

The politicians in this story are separated from most of us by distance. But, as the theory goes, none of us is separated from anyone else on the planet by more than just a few contacts. The faulty logic exhibited by Representative Davis will, without doubt, be embraced by other politicians in other states who desperately want to prove to their ultra-liberal constituency that they too are working for ‘CHANGE’.

It’s happening in Maine now. But no state is immune from the current wave of bias against wholesome family recreation.

Now is the time for action, no matter where you live. If you’re reading this and you don’t take 15 seconds to click a couple of buttons on your computer screen . . .

And to the vast majority of sportsmen who do care and do respond to this call for help – THANKS!
