Thread: Rock port rattlers real or Hype

They will do what they say...I will use them in shallow water on a light bite. Most anything that bites will be hooked on the treble..down side on a hard bite that is taken deep will result in a dead fish.

Totally legal too, heck a crank has 2 treble hooks on it.

In MS you could use 1 of the multiple hook jigs!! Law sez no more than 2 single hooks per line. Or a lure with up to 3 trble hooks. If you had 2 rock port multiple hook jigs on a single line you would be illegal!!

That's not true, the rockport rattler just like a crank, only counts as on bait. We can run 2 cranks on one line if we like according to the law. When the law in counting "hooks" per line they are referring to straight hooks.

Just looked at the rules���� if rock ports are considered lures you can have 2 trebles per line is that correct?????

Now I'm Skeered the law ain't caught on sounds like me kunnfused???

Spot on, basically became a way to fish a "stinger" or trailer hook in the Crappiemasters Tourney, made a super big deal out of them at the Spring tourney at Grenada in 2014.
They are just like Knightshadow said, you don't want them on a hard bite, they are wicked.

I doubt I would ever fish two on the same rig. 1/4 oz. On bottom, jig on top. Or single RP in water under 6 ft.....would use an umbrella tube, and minner..I talked to Whiety at Grizzly, and he said he fished them the same way. A big bait, but, effective
