I don't see any reason run multiple hooks on a rig where your creel limit is two.
"Umbrella a rigs are defined as an array of more than 3 artificial lures or baits (with or without hooks) used by a single rod and reel combination. If the hook size is 6 or larger, then only one lure or bait may have a hook and that hook must be a single hook."

I know its kinda got split off to about stripers but this is mainly dealing with it's recent start up in the professional ranks of bass fishing. I can't see any reason to run them for striper especially since there are only two you can keep but they would seem to be incredibly effective.
