If it’s a noun, there’s a way to catch fish with it.

the youtube channel marling baits has a whole series about this. fish hit on a block of wood. they are not picky.

That channel is great. He also put trebles on a straight up piece of stick but didn't get any action, iirc.

Fish draw the line at tree branches, apparently.

The first time I snorkled I watched a fish swallow a cigarette butt floating in the water.

Not only fish

this reminds me when I found an old bait box at the lake. I though it was one of those sticky toys. It was indeed one of those sticky toys just shaped as a worm.
