    Marshmellows For Bait?

    I've seen a few Youtube videos, all from the US were they successfully use marshmellows for bait. Has anyone tried this technique?

    Good for carp and trout. Not legal for trout, but in some places (e.g. Twizel canals), F&G rules seem to be very loosely interpreted.

    I caught a 44lb Salmon on marshmallows in ship creek Alaska.

    Caught most of the king salmon on marshmallows, probably some springs too.
