Hi all.
Does anybody use that pop up foam that is inserted into a dead bait's mouth with a plunger?
My concern is that a pike will swallow a bait and have the foam stuck inside it.
Do you think this could harm a pike or would it disolve or pass through the fish.

Thanks

Hi Wigs
i remember reading some article a while back about the foam and it appears that if the pike swallows
the bait that it can upset its swim bladder and in cases result in death.I suppose it depends on how much of
the foam is inserted.The foam does not dissolve i use the fox pear shaped poppers.
