Angler’s use of Ooshies to catch fish stirs controversy

A Woolworths promotion involving Disney+ Ooshies has become a boon of sorts for an angler in Australia, who says the popular collectibles help him catch fish.

Mark Pace of Queensland posted several photos to Facebook this week showing glow-in-the-dark Ooshies attached near his hooks, to be used as teasers.

The glow from the collectables, Pace implied, helps inspire a strike response from game fish. His post also displayed photos of fish he caught with the help of Ooshies.
