I agree. As a kid we used to fish for kurper with valve tube. Fishing is all about outsmarting your quarry and enticing it into your baited trap. So do your damnest with whatever you are comfortable with, provided you are within the laws/rules that apply to the particular situation. Of course, in competitions the playing field need to be levelled and normative rules prescribed, but let individuals be just that - individual.
If we take this ethics thing too far, we'll end up prescribing the use of only split cane rods and pheasant feathers.
Fishing is fishing and some types are just a bit different than others
