What is interesting is the lack of hooks for a lot of those baits...those wouldn’t have had time to rust out so where did they come from? Just picking up the tail when fishermen set the hook?

Wacky rig is very popular over there, and real easy for a fish to just grab part of the warm, swim off, and the fisherman jerk the hook right out of the plastic. Hence the use of o-rings on some of them.
