NWC - Bait substitutes?
Steve
I know bait - ie crawlers is a no-no, but what are the rules on the use of bait substitutes - for example any of the stuff made by Berkley or similar? Are these allowable or not? Jim |
NWC - Bait substitutes?
Artificial lures only Jim, with the exception of pork rind.

Jim's question is valid: Berkley's "Gulp" is 100% biodegradable and
100% "natural ingredients". So Steve, is Gulp an artificial bait and allowed? or is it banned? go-bassn wrote: Artificial lures only Jim, with the exception of pork rind.

There are other brands of "bait substitutes" of the same nature as Gulp - just not in "critter" shapes like Gulp. This also brings to mind other stuff - ie..... in 2002 we got samples of Smelly Jelly in 2003, we got a jar of powder (Top Secret Amino Gel) also - have heard mention of Mega Strike (Charles and Jerry in another post), and then there are the Exude Plastics. All this stuff is using some sort of chemical trickery to taste more like the real thing to the fish. So where is the "line" going to be drawn?

I'd say yes you can use the gulp, It was never alive. And if anyone believes that gulp is the secret bait for boom then god bless them, those fish don't eat live bait never mind worms made to taste like it. :-) "Fritz Nordengren" wrote in message news:mfPWc.61475$mD.47674@attbi_s02...

The line was drawn way back when Ray Scott turned bass fishing into a competition sport,, his "Sponsors" the lure manufacturers, drew the line. (Uncle Josh) was one of the sponsors, so he got his pork past the regulations) Now in other species competitions live bait can be used, (except for fly fishing) but not in BASS, nor those that followed, you must remember, these tournaments started out with the manufacturers trying to out smart the bass with their lures, they wanted this publicity to SELL MILLIONS of lures, in the mean time, they brain washed a bunch of people into thinking "real" sportsmen, don't use live bait, they did this to make MEGA bucks from fishermen buying their lures,, you don't make that much selling just hooks and weights, compared to lures (although I'm trying :-) I'm sure to get flamed, brain washing works real well :-) Of course Ya'll can have any rules you want in your tournament -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

I didn't say his question is invalid Fritz, I just answered it.

Jim, you're talking about about scents here, of course they're allowed.
They are added to artificial lures, are they not? Warren -- http://www.warrenwolk.com/ http://www.tri-statebassmasters.com 2004 NJ B.A.S.S.

So, here's the answer, Bait substitutes are fine by me. As long as it was never alive in the first place (i.e. dehydrated minnows and the like), it's legal in the NWC. Gulp products, amino acids, scents, jellies and similar products will be allowed. The only exception I can think of to the "Never been alive" rule is pork.

Warren Warren Agreed - I changed the topic to scents, but to make a point. My point was asking about bait substitutes - ie the Berkly stuff - which to me is not live bait (any more) - even if it had components which once were. So what differance is there in some thing that is man made - ie a Gulp worm - something that tastes (we think) like the real thing, vs a man made worm made from plastic that smells (we think) like the real thing? It seemed to me at the time that there was some very fine spliting of hairs going on. And now its a moot point, as Steve issued a ruling, which is what I wanted. Jim |
