Anyone seen or tried these in real life?
Apparently they are available as a tube, a craw/cray, and a single tail minnow/grub.
They have a moulded pocket that you put a special effervescent tablet in and when it gets wet it releases a stream of air bubbles and sort of pulses the lure body too as the pressure builds up and releases.
The ad blurb goes:
"Not only do fish love these, but fishermen will go wild too!"
Apparently fisherwomen are indifferent to them :-)

Look mad don't they. I remember years ago when they sold a hard body lure that U put a sodium pill into and they took off swimming by themselves (used to be on the back of comic books), very similar I imagine.

here's a link for a look
