No, it is legal.

I also used scrap sparkplugs that a local garage save for me if fishing over 
snaggy ground and long casts are not necessary, but them I am tight.

if its still attached to the wheel or church roof you nicked it from, the id
say yes .

pebbles [ with holes through ] work well - and the fish don't know
they're there to trap them.
