If you didin't use scent or eggs with them, would they be considered legal in a "no bait" river. I would assume so. The place I go in the spring, has a no Bait restriction, and I don't want to spend time in a jail cell while my buddies are out fishing. Also, has anyone had any luck without using scent or eggs, and fishing them plain. We use a lot of single Luhr Jensen Rubber Eggs around here, and the steelies are especially fond of a single lime green egg fished with a microdot of egg colored yarn.
