Bionic Lures?

[drew]

I recently read an article about a lure with a battery powered light in it manufactured by LaserLure. Are electric lures permitted in competition?

I have not seen that one yet. I have seen and heard about Flouresent painted lures (glow in the dark) I have seen one that after you cast it out and started to crank it back it would generate a light by the movement of the bait. So far I classify all of these baits with the Helicoptor Lure, Flying Lure and Banjo Minnow. Of all these baits the only one I have ever known to catch fish is the Banjo Minnow. And I recently seen an ad for the Banjo Minnow so I assume that with all the excitment of the swimbaits flying around the Banjo Minnow is back on the market. It should be. Like I said of all those baits it was the only one that actually caught fish. Unless that Bionic lure has a little man or camera inside of it I don't know why it wouldn't be legal but I will check into this bait a little further.
