After not fishing much due to work for the last two years, I’m pulling out the tackle and getting organized to hopefully fish more with a new assignment working from my home area.

Was reading the regs for some information and saw I am allowed 3 hooks per line. I plan on fishing mostly inland lakes and rivers, not trolling Erie, but my question is “how many hooks does a treble hook count as?”.

As in the photo, I’m assuming the old rooster tail is OK because it’s no more than 3 any way you slice it. But what about the top water popper, is that 2 hooks or 6 hooks?

Thanks in advance!

I did find the thread from 2020 where this was discussed and got snippy, so not trying to go that direction.

I’m also guessing they wouldn’t be selling a lot of artificial baits in Cabelas in Ohio that weren’t legal.

It just wasn’t clear in the 2023-2024 regs and I thought there might be more info 3 years later.
