INSTANT SURVEY: A new fishing lure not only attracts fish but forces them instinctively and reflexively to take the bait. Should such a lure be outlawed?
New Lure FORCES Fish To Bite. Good? or Bad?

[Background on POLL s503]

The technology, which has been developed by Louisiana State University’s John Caprio, makes use of the natural impulses of a fish’s sensory systems. Caprio has discovered that when a fish is exposed to certain taste stimuli, it cannot control its urge to bite.

“Fish learn and associate particular scents as food, but taste is an actual reflex for them. The taste of particular natural chemicals triggers a feeding response,” said Caprio.

But the new lures developed from this technology don’t just stop there. The LSU professor has teamed up with the company Mystical Tackleworks to develop a lure that bombards all aspects of a fish’s sensory systems (vision, hearing, taste, smell, mechanoreception), practically disarming every tool a fish might use to avoid getting hooked.

    I think that the sport is called fishing, not catching. I would not like to see a lure like that available. To me, it seems a little like fishing with a stick of dynamite!! Are we sportmen or harvesters?
