The Octagon

[pacafan]

Me and my buddy made this prototype rig and hopefully I can get a pic up in a day or so. It has 16 arms on it 8 for lures and 8 for spinners. This thing is sweet. Also have one with 24 arms and brads jig for the weight. But I'm sure you know why I cant take a pic.

The Anchor Rig....

Carefull with that...The innevitable "rig" problem. Us idiots trying to take it to the next level, the little bit more of an advantage.
OR...."If they're gonna throw five, by God I'll throw 20!"

And then the arguments at weigh-in. Who can do all the math? Who can determine who cheated and who didn't. Was it cheating if the didn't know? Ignorance is no excuse...Is it an excuse if the tournament director doesn't know either?
Who gets branded a cheater for ignorance?
Who cheats and gets away with it without even realizing it?
Who actually knew better?

Ya see, if you're on a lake and the State limit is 10 and you're throwing 8 baits at once. You can only have TWO in the livewell. If you have THREE in the box, Then you are now fishing for 11.
Is that illegal? I have no idea, but, seems it could be. Because, If you had 10 in the box (or just in posession), you cannot still legally fish....AT ALL.

There comes a point where an argument can be made that nobody actually knows how to "legally" answer.

Excellent points Danno! I'm not sure whether any of it actually has merrit or not, but I know for sure that I don't want to have to take a lawyer out with me, just so I'll know if I'm legal to fish.
Where did you copy and paste all this from? I can't imagine you coming up with all of it!
