Maybe someone can help, am trying to understand how to stay legal, below is from the TWRA
Umbrella rigs can be legally fished in Tennessee waters as long as they comply with the regulation as described in the proclamation. An umbrella rig is defined as an array of more than three artificial lures or baits (with or without hooks) used by a single rod and reel combination. Each blade of a spinner bait would be considered a lure. If the hook sizes are 8 or smaller, all lures or baits may have hooks (single, double, or treble). If any hooks on the umbrella rig are hook size 6 or larger, then only one lure or bait in the array may have a hook and that hook must be a single hook.
So I can use size 8 on all arms, but then it states if any hooks are 6 or larger you can't use. ??? Are the rigs marketed as Alabama Rigs, like the Tom Mann sold at Walmart legal? They look like size 8 hooks.
