Ryder Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I've used this for a while after reading about it in a magazine . I have checked the regulation, no more than 3 hooks or 3 gangs of hooks per line. I assume it excludes sabiki jigs. But I can't find anything limiting the number of hooks in a gang, and I think the treble is just another hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bros Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/regulations/sw/methods so this is what it says on DPI: Number of hooks per line - 3 hooks or three gangs of hooks * * A gang of hooks should have no more than 5 hooks. No more than 3 trebles attached to a lure. Any Raider know how to interpret this would a treble hook be counted as one hook or three?

zook2001 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm reasonably sure it's illegal to use treble hooks with natural baits, their for lures only, this is to stop people jagging fish, people do use them as stringers and an inspector could take a dim view on this. A lot of obscure regs aren't in the guide best to ring them and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I reckon it's ok. Trebles qualify as a single hook and ur allowed up to 5 in a "set" and up to 3 "sets" on a line. That would be my understanding. Probably best to check...if you can find anybody at their Offices. Big Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I rabg this morning and got someone. They ummed and arred and read me the regs. 3 hooks on a line or 3 gangs, 3 trebles on a lure etc Going by that she said its probably illegal. The legislation and regs dont include every illegal method. If they did they would go on for miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
