One's made for fishing lines you mean?

If so, no.

Lead is fairly toxic stuff.

Lead weight for fishing line was banned in the UK several years ago. It should no longer be available in shops. But I dare say many people still have it tucked away in their sheds somewhere.

In the UK the "lead sinkers" you refer to, like plant weights, no longer consist of lead.
