As of Nov 2011 …yes.
January 16, 2012 at 1:24 pm #1028388Thank you!
January 16, 2012 at 1:24 pm #1028389Yes but ONLY if there is a sm/all blade on your leader above it thus allowing it to fall into the lure catogory which makes the treble legal
January 16, 2012 at 1:58 pm #1028406Old info Ben. No blade needed. It will be in this years rule pamphlet.
January 16, 2012 at 2:01 pm #1028407All the good stuff is posted in the catfish forum. LOL!
From 12/07/11->
From an email from the MN DNR…
There is a new rule and here is our (MN DNR) attempt at explaining it for the 2012 fishing regulations:
· Single Tackle Configuration. Anglers may use up to three single or multiple hooks on a line used as a single tackle configuration attached to the end of a fishing line (Examples – crawler harness, quick-strike rig) ). Note: a single tackle configuration cannot be used on designated trout streams and lakes.
o The total length of the single tackle configuration must be nine inches or less
o Anglers may use live, artificial, preserved, or dead bait that is lawful to use (see pages 11-12).
o A single tackle configuration is not considered an artificial fly or lure.
Let us know if you have questions.

“It took effect November 1, 2011. I don’t recall seeing any news release about it, but it should probably be announced sometime soon.”

That’s why when everyone says stuff about WI Regs being confusing, I just giggle to myself, never fished in MN other than when I was really little, and was interested in what the differences were in laws between MN & WI, I tried to read MN’s regs regarding hooks, I was just like ok, guess I’m not even going to attempt to fish in MN cause I would be a DNR warden’s dream…
Their wording is horrible, they need to make it in “I am an idiot and need direction or pictures” talk lolJanuary 16, 2012 at 7:30 pm #1028565Funny you should mention this Jen.
After posting the above in the Catfish Forum and the confusion started…I sent a link to the MN DNR contact with a note…
“Might want to put some more thought into the wording of this.”
We’ll see how it comes out in the new rule book.
