Just wondering but i thought i heard that you can only have one hook on the line and if there are more they all have to be like a trouble hook? Just wondering

[paceman]

Those look awesome!!!!! Where can I get some. I love "clown bait".......

[Matt Johnson]

I got the opportunity to see these new spinners upclose at the NW Sport Show. First impression was that they have an outstanding paintjob and the color options really present some useful combinations.

I'll have to pick some up for trolling eyes...

never heard that law before. I believe there is a law about using trebbel hooks on lures versus on a set line or something without a spinner.

It is really common to use 2-3 hooks like on the spinner on top. Usually called a crawler harness, use it to hook your worm or crawler in the head and tail (if there is a difference) keeps them from balling up and increases hooking percentage.

There must be 50 different companies that have a version of it. None as pretty as these though.

You can have multiple hooks if it's part of a lure. The spinner blades and beads make these a lure.

[Chris Haley]

But only up to three I believe. The regs used to cover it. I went in and tried to find it but all I could find was using three dry flies. It used to be that they had to be within 3 from front to back. But I don't know if that has changed since I can't find it in the regs.

Here's the statute. A spinner is considered an artificial bait, and the way the statute read, it could have an unlimited number of hooks.

97C.315 Angling lines and hooks.

Subdivision 1. Lines. An angler may not use more

than one line except:

(1) two lines may be used to take fish through the ice; and

(2) the commissioner may, by rule, authorize the use of two

lines in areas designated by the commissioner in Lake Superior.

Subd. 2. Hooks. An angler may not have more than one

hook on a line, except:

(1) three artificial flies may be on a line used to take

largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, trout, crappies, sunfish, and

rock bass; and

(2) a single artificial bait may contain more than one hook.

Dang Deadhead you beat me to it. I was looking through the new statute book that they rearranged on me to find that before I posted. Thank you for providing this information!

Yes these rigs are an “artificial lure” and by statute they may contain more then one hook.

[DEADhead]

Jeff,

might be quicker to pull up statutes on the HSOforum than thumb through the book

http://www.leg.state.mn.us/leg/statutes.asp

The site also contains indices for Minnesota rules and laws, as well as statutes.

This is the page for the DNR rules:

http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/arule/a490.html

This is the page for DNR statutes:

http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/data/revisor/statutes_index/current/N/NA/natural_resources_department.html

I suppose next time someone wants info on a statute you'll beat me to it!

[Scenic]

Oh but I learned that the books are updated and THEN the HSOforum is done to show changes. They just may not happen at the same time...lol

[DEADhead]

gotcha. I don't know what gets updated first. you could very well be right.

[cluelessfisherman]

Those rigs look sweet!! When will they be available and where can we get them??

[Scenic]

Very soon. In your area watch for them in BlueWater Bait.

[DEADhead]

don't forget your hometown too Jeff!

[Scenic]

I will be talking to John down there at Quality Bait probably today.

[DEADhead]

Sweet!

[harvey lee]

If these new spinners work half as good as thier jigs,then they have a real winner.

It looks like one will have to get another tackle bag.

[Sifty]

Looks nice I'm going to have to pick up a few.

Have you noticed that the two trailer hooks are a size smaller also. Great idea!!!!
