Them yoyo's are one dangerous thing. I tried using them years ago catfishing and if you don't watch you can get hooked in a heartbeat. I don't know if it is legal or not but we have enough laws and regulations without anymore to be added. Getting to be so many laws and regulations that if a Game Warden wanted to he could find some reason every time someone went out to just give them a ticket. If the limit on fish is say 30 it should not matter if he used 25 yoyo's. If a person is pulling 6 rods with crank baits(2 treble hooks with 3 points each = 6) they have 36 hook points in the water at one time. Like I said we don't need no more rules we already have enough. Now like Forrest Gump said "That's all I got to say about that".
