I'm still looking to find the disagreement.

You can use stuff that imitates something natural (crawdads, shrimp, fish) or something that triggers a strike reflex (which may or may not cross into the "natural" territory). Cluster eggs are bait that may cross into the strike reflex territory. Fake single eggs cross into both territories. Fake cluster eggs, however, are strike reflex only (unless scented), so knowing that, I would use something that increases my chances.
