Stroll down the aisles of any tackle shop today and look at the shelves. Where are the Heddon Crazy Crawlers and Lazy Ikes of our youth? What has happened to the Fred Arbogast Hawaiian Wigglers, the Bass-O-Renos? They’ve all been replaced by thirty-seven feet of shelf space devoted to … you guessed it… PLASTIC WORMS!
We hear a lot about global warming but an even more disastrous fate awaits mankind if we don’t quell the proliferation of those squiggly, wiggly plastic imposters. Mark my words, they’re taking over. Today, a small lake near you. Tomorrow, the world. Yes, the number one threat facing mankind today is not climate change, not income inequality, not poverty or lack of health insurance, it’s….GLOBAL WORMING!
