I think Flap is just worried they'll ban inflatable dolls, too.

Interesting thought, one of the obstacles they would have is the number of companies that market to the local industry.
I cant imagine Connecticut banning the use of Sluggo's when they are made right here.
 But then again, they are politicians. 
It would be a truley dumb move for something that as far as I know there's very week evidence that soft plastics hurt the environment. |

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.

I was looking at the Gulp rubber eels because they look like the real thing. On the packaging, it said the the eel was 100% biodegradeable. Maybe I'll give them a shot...

Flap,
Are those dolls recyclable? If so where do you find the recycle symbol?
