fishman1 164 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 i was watching wild t.v. with an episode of in-fisherman. gord pyzer was ice fishing for pike using dead bait. he was using a quick strike rig with 2 treble hooks. under ontario law you are only allowed 4 hooks per line, unless you are using a rap.did anyone else see this show? i understand people are looking into the matter and charges may be brought forward.

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 I did not see the show. But I know about trebles on an ARTIFICIAL bait is considered one hook per treble hook. All other situations it is considered three hooks. You are allowed 4 hooks in a live bait situation. Example would be a jig with a treble hook stinger is considered four hooks. On a Rapala lure, as you stated, has 2 or 3 treble hooks and are considered one hook each. One thing to be mindful of though, is; Was he fishing in Ontario? There are different rules for different places. Was this show on today? Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Hmmm after thinking about this, Is dead bait live bait or an artificial bait? Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Arnott 2 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 By adding a small spinner blade on your quick-strike rig it becomes a lure and is allowed the two trebles. This is not just done to conform with the rules but can increase strikes as well. I'm sure with his background that Mr. Pyzer would be unlikely to be breaking any laws but the question is a good one. >Bill Quote CRESTINER BOATS SMITHS RV BRENNEN FORD THUNDERBAYFISHING.COM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fatman Report post Posted October 23, 2008 So if you were to troll with two rapalas that havetwo hooks each that is okay. What about trolling with two spinners on one line. One lower and one abit higher up. that's fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 I would think so Fatman. As you are allowed a slider on a down rigging line...... Right? Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogeryou are allowed 4 sliders on a downrigger line, i believe. or 4 hooks total but the trebles on the lures count as 1 hook, do they not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
