Can't seem to find the regulations, but how many baits with hooks are allowed on an a-rig for Texas?

100 hook limit in Texas. For Texas freshwaters, it is unlawful to fish with more than 100 hooks on all devices combined.

Trot line = 100 hook limit
Jugs with one hook each = 100 jug limit
Arig with 100 hooks = legal


Or, if you have already set out a trot line with 50 hooks that morning, you would be limited to 50 hooks on your Arig.

Huh? He's talking about Alabama rigs. You can have five in Texas.

“In fresh water, it is unlawful to fish with more than 100 hooks on all devices combined.”

Unless I’m missing it, Alabama rigs are not directly addressed in TPWD’s rules and regulations.
