Location: Metro, MN | So just trying to clarify. Is a standard treble tied to a fluoro leader legal? Is it frowned upon to not use a quick strike style rig to try and prevent the fish from swallowing the treble?
How do you all prefer to rig your larger shiners or suckers through the ice? |

Location: Chisholm, MN | Yes, its illegal in MN to use a plain treble hook. It has to have some sort of attractant on it, like a blade or something. Mostly, people use quickstrike rigs which are legal. Bigtooth Tackle makes very good ones and now have a new one called the zero rig. Check them out! |

Location: North Metro, MN | I have a line of tip-up rigs I've been making since I was a young fellow. I prefer a single rig when possible and hook up just as well as doubles. As far as I know, now in mn you can use plain treble as long as it doesn't exceed 9 inches but still prefer to add the blades. I am waiting to hear back from the MN DNR on some other rig styles too to clarify what is good and what is not. |

Location: North Metro, MN | here's a few I do... "Single slayer Rig" ," Twice As Nice Rig" and my new "Cheer Leader Rig". I do them in 80 lb. Fluoro and 30 lb. titanium aka "forever rigs". I love single for shiners and suckers up to 9" or so .. anything bigger I go double. Even w/ a single and the flag up for awhile, when you hook the bait in the middle toward the dorsal most of them get hooked in the corner of the lip
