This is a pretty good news group

We got an insect rights activist on the other thread who'll disagree
with ya.

Hey Conan L,

I am still here, just reading.

- The comment that the idea is a problem in search of a solution, no
wait, a solution in search of a problem, is my favorite.
Pretty accurate. Dang.

Glad to see you've got a good attitude about it.

- There are some soft plastics on the market now that claim to be bio
degradable, that's what got me curious about hooks.

- Also I wanted to see how many folks can think "outside the box" . And
you never know, sometimes the 'net can really pull ideas together.

Oh this group can definitely do that. I think the responses to this
thread and the "humane way to clean fish" thread are evidence of that. :-)

Just wait until Ken sees that you are top-posting.

I'm starting to wonder if this whole thread was spam, as our OP
seems to have disappeared altogether.



No, spam is unwanted commercial advertising. It might have been
trolling, which is intentionally stirring up an argument. I don't
think he/she was a troll, though, because he/she seemed perfectly
sincere in his/her mindboggling ignorance.

Damn, I thought I was in that other thread spawned by a clueless
idiot. Sorry about that.

Kevin,

I recall hearing or reading something about starches sometime in the last
couple of years. Becky is very fond of a candy confection called "gummi
bears" (so fond that she occasionally hands the bag to me and tells me to
hide them......to be doled out,sparingly, upon request). They actually come
in a variety of shapes, including worms. I don't know for a fact what they
are made of, but I'd bet a shiny new nickel that corn starch (or some other
common food starch) is very high on the list of ingredients. Replace the
sugar and citric acid with something redolent of real worms or some other
fishy treat and voila! I guess a day or three would be about right for
complete dissolution.
