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.
 

Apparently, the Wooolworths-Disney+ promotion has been so popular that the supermarket giant has run out of stock in most areas. As part of the promotion, the collectibles were given to customers who spent $30 or more in the stores.

“It’s apparent customers of all ages have loved collecting these Disney+ Ooshies and their popularity completely exceeded our expectations,” Andrew Hicks, Chief Marketing Officer for Woolworths, told 9News Australia.
