i've heard of certain lakes/rivers banning the use of any soft plastics that contain scent or salt, but not all soft plastics. I'd like to see a study of the effects of these baits when injested by fish and some information about wehter fish will injest them when they're just sitting on the bottom (I assume that they will at times). I always feel alittle guilty when fishing surf hogs on wobble heads because I often lose the plastic when I get a fish. Environmentally, I can see that there is an argument for banning soft plastics, but I really hope it doesn't happen.
