Mark Marmon, who guides for Carp in the Houston area, says in his presentation that he has caught grass carp far in excess of the world record on coffee bean beetles, but IGFA disallowed them because the bean gives off flavoring and so is considered bait.

I wonder where coffee bean beetles fall in the artificial lures only
streams? In PA a fast read seems to only require nothing edible in
catch and release waters. Is a coffee bean edible to a fish? Then in
heritage trout waters all materials must be "wound on or about the
hook". I guess that would rule out even the sunflower shell since it is
glued on the top. "Oh what tangled webs we weave". Even possession is a
violation so check your fly boxes carefully.
This started out as a tongue-in-cheek reply but the more I read the
more I began to wonder.
