Well, that is what I said. And the reason it was framed like that was: (particularly the "ethics" comment) because I know some contests and tourneys specifically disallow fishing with lead inserted in baitfish. I never understood the full reason other then perhaps it could cause lead poisoning in the larger fish if it were to somehow digest this thing. The unlawful comment seemed to follow similar reasoning. In addition, this method always has had some "dark or bad-boy aura" to it. Most have heard about it or read about it but only "pin hookers", "commercials" and "pros" know how to do it and therefore we don't want to discuss it. Heck it is discussed in this weeks OTW report…yo-yoing scup for bass in Quicks.
When my buddy got one and was telling me about the stapled up baitfish with weight, I figured now would be a good time to delve into this with you guys. It has always intrigued me why it is a "black" method of fishing. It is like you have to be in a secret club to find out the details.
It is good to “stir the pot” now and again, it gets all the crud off the bottom
I didn't mean any harm nor did I want to expose someones personal secret method that he has shared with a few close friends but this yo-yo method has been around a while and if it is "outlawed" by tourneys then someone else has to know about it.
