I agree that it is stupid.  It's just another bait.  Not magical, just another one.  If the state does not state that it is illegal, then a tournament director should have no say int he matter.  Those that make it their business, like ban it, in my opinion, are stooping to a level they have no business stooping.

For pros that get on the 'ban' wagon, that is just one less ounce of respect I have for them.

And I haven't even thrown one yet.

I agree with Mike's points on the guys saying ban it.  However, I'm still on the fence overall.  I'd like to see it used over the course of this year and see all the information that comes out from it.  It could be one of those genie in a bottle deals where who knows where it will lead.  On the other hand it may just be another flash in the pan.  It's still too early to tell.

I agree this is stupid, but one thing I did agree its a door opener for other baits, what's gonna stop me from throwing my 32 baits crankbaits on 1 line... and  by the way its called the chandelier bait.    If a fish even looks at it they will be hooked.  Where will it end?  So I would support a ruling on the number of hooks tied to one line.

There are going to be people that whine about every new piece of technology or out of the box rig that comes out because they didn't think of it first. I used to get people complaining when they saw me throw a drop shot with shaky head for the weight, now it's pretty common. As long as everyone has access to it, what's the big deal? The people that cry about hooking fish in the side or anywhere outside the mouth apparently never throw a three treble jerk bait or a big deep diver or a spook. I'm not saying it's open season and break out the crank phones, but imitating a school of bait fish isn't the biggest con we put on fish.

Ain't that the damn truth!!! 

If it is banned, you can always start the Santone Jewelry Division!!

Shouldn't you be over at Fork filling rod racks???

Spinnerbait is more effective than the A rig Let's start by banning the ones that actually catch the most fish and not the ones that might. no spinnerbait fishing for all trails starting today.

shut it weber
