I know, crazy Tn law. Yet a crankbait with three treble hooks is legal while an Alabama rig with 6 single hooks is not. The crankbait has 9 possibilities of hooking the fish vs the A-rig's 6. I really have never understood the fuss by the TWRA on this.

Walt, let's take it to extremes....2 guys in one boat spider rigging 8 poles each. Each pole has 3 jigs. How many hooks are in the water? Versus an Arig with a total of five hooks possible.
Even if a guy was trolling 8 rods with Arigs, he's still only got 40 hooks in the water.
Dumb law for sure.

Some people eat them but only when they're small(under 10bs), when they get too big there's too much fat.

We can always adapt the "shower" and remove 2 hooks.

I am going to Lake Barkley in Sept, looks like they are plague there - Will post the results here.

I duck hunt in Dover off of Lake Barkley and we have had them jump in the boat on several occasions while blind building in late summer/early fall. Catch them all!

Incorrect.

See page 9 for the exception. I use a sabiki.

No...I wasn't incorrect at all. His pics made well aware of what type of rig he thought about using. They all looked like some sort of a U-rig...A-rig. I am sure any TWRA officer would have thought the same. His thoughts weren't about using multiple jig heads on a line....or a sabiki rig. I am well aware of the law. My comments were made as to the rigs he was displaying..
