So now if smaller trails and organizations follow suit and ban them also, I guess those who spent $10-$30 a piece on the "A Rigs" to fish in tourneys have something cool to use as a wind chime or a ornament on next years Christmas Tree.

The people selling the made some quick cash , so there is 1 positive..

Yea, IMO it's all good. As long as legislatures continue to allow it for recreational fishing. We'll see.

I'll buy all of you tournament guys ARigs for 50 cent apiece. I was actually kind of shocked at this decision after reading this piece, yesterday.

get 10 of them and troll DD22's on Falcon catch 20-60 bass per pass!

I'm in on that

Good for them something just didn't seem right about the A Rig.

What a joke. It's a tool not a miracle fix jeez. They want it to get back to old fishing take away the depthfinders, maps, and practice. I don't even throw the a-rig as I personally can't stop laughing when I try. I just feel that if they are wanting to make the trail so even and fair they should all use same rig,same setup, and No known lake locations before hand. Just my opinion. Just let these guys fish come'on.

If they all have them what's the big deal?

I think this is a good idea. At least for competitive events. I always felt like casting out multiple lures in one retrieve was 'cheating'. I'm sure many disagree but I am all for this new rule.

As far as recreational angling is concerned, let her rip haha.

sometimes we make things complicated by trying to make them simpler.


but like stated b4 its still legal to "buy fish"

There goes that market! LOL

Are they going to limit how many trebles you can have now??? Lol

i guess side and downimaging are next

barbless hooks only???

Al Lindner taking over BASS??

I saw where KVD was against the rig because it could injure the bass. BIG DEAL, how about boat flipping the bass and letting them flop around on the carpet. The Elites aren't so elite when it comes to fish care.

It'll be interesting to see if the guys push the envelope....having 4 ghosts on the outside and one hook in the middle.
