Maybe less confusing:
Greater than 6- you can have three baits as they come packaged as long as they are attached to the arm and not on the arm but only (1) can have a single hook.
Less than and including size 6- you can have three baits as they come packaged as long as they are attached to the arm and not on the arm.

Sorry, Travis, but this is incorrect.
The rule says "size 6 or larger."
So if your hooks are size 6 or larger, you can only have three lures. Those three lures can have any number of hooks - for example, three crankbaits would be fine. If you use more than three lures, only one can have a single hook. So you could use five swimbaits or spinnerbaits on an umbrella rig, but you have to cut off all the hooks but one single hook.
Less than size 6 (NOT less than and including), you can have as many lures as you want.
Attachment to the arm doesn't make any difference. Even a sabiki rig falls under this rule as an "array of lures" even though it has no umbrella arms.
