Rules

Straight out of the 2018 rule book, I came across the following:

Fishing gear

Legal fishing gear is outlined below; everything else is illegal.

  • Rods, lines and hooks – you can only use a maximum of three baits or lures on each line. 

 

Does this mean that 5 or 6 hook sabiki rigs are actually illegal?

 True , those little bait jigs either come in 6 tied together , or the odd brand brand has two sets of 3 .

 and as mentioned you could bust as many fishers as you want to , down at ammo jetty or e shed everyday of the week. 

 Ganged hooks , however how many count as 1 , and when using xxl  gardies or sauris , we run as many as 6 or 7 on a gang ,

 usually say 2 x 7/0 followed by a 2x 5/0, and then finished of by a couple 4/0, it jiggles around like a wind chime, but keeps the bait 

 shaped straight when bait casting them.

Ive always thought with the 6 hook sabikis they weren't illegal unless all hooks were baited
