Paul Pezalla Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's Soft but firm. Use your imagination That is accurate. Like a soft bodied aquatic invertebrate would be my preferred analogy. The FoodSource lures are interesting. As Louis pointed out, soft plastics are rather toxic (phalate esters amogn other things). In a few states, one does not need a fishing license to fish with "bait", only to fish with a "lure." The FoodSource Lures have been officially classified as bait in a couple of states, potentially saving people a few $$ and really changing the meaning of bait. Mr. Big, you called first thing Monday morning. Certainly you wern't expecting me to be cheerful. Civil is the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 This is a coincidence We've been talking to the guys at Foodsource (mostly Ed Rogers) about stocking some of their products, Carp Candies being one of them. I don't know that we'll bother now that I know Paul is going to stock them. I don't think there's a market for two distributors of this stuff to the carp world right now. Interesting that we both got to the same manufacturer through very different channels. MissouCarpee, Their stuff looks good but at the price of a 20 bait bag I don't see them competing with boilies. Hookbaits only I think, at least that's the way we were looking at them. All the best..... Bill D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to operate a lot like----me. I figure that they'll answer my e-mails in 2007. Actually--I was looking into their stuff for the "saltwater" division, and not as a carp bait. Their stuff is available--if you happen to fish all over the place. Their carp baits may have some value as a wild carp bait--I honestly wouldn't know. They may have a problem with calling it "carp candy"--in the US--but thats another story. As far as paylakes use goes, it does have some serious value as a pickup (with modifications). You just never know till you try it. It's worth a try IMHO. I'll be using some this winter--for Stripers at HI. Bravo Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
