Any hook swallowed kills period. Guys have been feeding trebles to pike over here for 40 years . Anyone who thinks the rig is the problem has lost sight of what is happening. NO HOOK Kills if it is not swallowed. ANY hook can be a quick set hook INCLUDING A SINGLE J HOOK. Its not the rig that kills fish. Outlawing single J hooks is wrong wrong wrong wrong. Used properly (Barbless and quick set) they are better than any treble and you all know it. Face the fact ,this can not be fixed by passing more laws but thru education. Kingfisher

Why do you keep insisting what we 'know' and don't 'know' if education is the answer? Education assumes the recipient of the information indeed doesn't know, and insisting those who are in need of new information already know that information comes off badly.....

Perhaps that process should begin with a description of how and why J hooks can be better than any other hook style on a Quick Strike.

The point I was making is that J hook style sucker rigs ARE considered swallow rigs in Wisconsin. If you are saying they can and should be used in a different manner, and just relabeled, fine, but that doesn't change the current classification of the rig. Show those who use them how to set them up as a quick strike rig.
