Seems like you're determined to not accept the multiple responses that say taking any lobster, dead/alive, without a permit is illegal. With the severely aggressive way lobster poachers tend to be handled, I'd take their word on it - that is unless Neptune himself came up to you and said you are destined for a 50lber if you use lobster tails as bait.

Yes and no. I am just wondering. Everyone has an opinion but I am fairly sure that it is fine based on my father in-law (retired harbor guy/old clam cop). I do agree with everyone here that it could go bad in any number of ways.
