PT - Not quite sure where you are coming from. There is no question that bait is an effective way to fish and I have no problem with it. I have not seen posts that put down chuckers & soakers. The only negative post against bait is on selective waters were it is not allowed, hence illegal. Fish legally and I doubt you will see any complaints against the use of bait.
Fish anyway you like, JUST FISH! (Legally.)
