makes sense but you will get busted inmy opinion. I had a similar questionin the past. For example if you are jigging with a swedish pimple it sok to have a treble hook as sooon as you tip it with something maggot perbait dead smelt head etc it now has bait and neeeds to be a single hook. I know it sounds dumbbut thats how I used to do it untilafriend otld meit was illegal I called fish and game and they said so. I have aloso notied that it depends on who you talk to at F&G jt makesure you get the name of the officer incase another wantsto charge you for something that he may interprit differently.Good luck!

Sorry for the typos!

thanks for the reply.
