Question- The other day I was told that the Quick Strike Rig is illegal to use in Minnesota becasue the two treble hooks are too far apart. What are your thoughts? Does anyone know the legal answer?

Welcome to Fishing Minesota and Hot Spot Outdoors. I would go to the search section and type in Quick strike Rigs and you will find plenty of information. The search is towards the top of every page in the forums.

Again,welcome to HSO & FM. cool.gif

A treble hook on a line is considered three hooks and is therefore illegal. A treble (or more) hook(s) when part of a lure is considered a single hook. Manufactures of quick strike rigs usually put a small blade on it and call it a lure. Seems like kind of a goofy rule to me.

as Harvy said... Welcome to FishingMinneosta/IceLeaders/HotSpotOutdoors family of web sites. Great to have you with us.

As the above post stated, there are a few quick strike rigs that are illegal in MN, but I would say that 99.5% if not 100% of all the quick strike rigs sold in MN are legal ones. All that is needed to make it into a lure is a small spinner blade. If the quick strike rig has a spinner blad on it, its a lure and legal.

This topic started as a result of a conversation I had with a CO on a local metro lake. He told me he would be citing anglers for using a QS rig. There is a lot of info to read in that topic but the gist of it is because of a technicality in the regulations (that were reworded this year), QS rigs became illegal.

There was supposed to be a clarification that would make them legal and then the reg was going to be tweaked again but am not sure on the status.

Chris, i talked to a enforcement offical at the Sportsman show and he stated that it had been worked out. He also said the spinner blades had to be within a ceratin distance from the hooks. He looked this up in his laptop as it was just released approx 1 month ago.

Quick strike rigs are used under tip ups.. instead of letting the fish run with the lure, you set the hook right away. And you hook the fish in the lips more often rather than in the throat. It helps with being able to release the fish.

To help, here is an immage of a ThorneBrothers quick strike rig.

You put both hooks in the bait. If using a sucker minnow or frozen smelt, one hook would go in the back behind the head, the other hook would go in the back in front of the tail. Click the link below and watch the show.. we shot it on Devils lake and caught all our fish on quick strike rigs.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
