can't really argue a fine from a MNR officer when your packing one of these salmon fishing lol

 

           "Finally, a rod built for the specialized technique of snagging!"

 

So are there some american states that consider this legal?

lol I cant believe what I just read! I guess they figured with all of the snaggers out there they might as well design a product just for them.

Snagging is legal in some states.  I believe on the Mississippi River its a popular method to catch paddlefish.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 
For other uses, see Snag (disambiguation).

Snagging, also known as snag fishingsnatch fishing, or foul hooking, is a method of fishing that entails catching a fish using hooks without the fish having to take the bait with their mouth. This is achieved by pulling the fishing line out of the water very quickly as soon as any movement is felt on the line, with the intention of piercing the fish in the flesh with the hook. Weighted lures with multiple hooks are often used to increase chances of success.

Some species, such as paddlefish, are not attracted to bait or lures as they eat plankton.[1] While these fish can be taken using nets or spears, snagging is also used.

Normally i like tossing a stick of dynamite in the river.....There Is No Problem Which Cannot Be Solved By A Suitable Application Of High Explosives

  :mrgreen: fishing included

But the RCMP has really been on my back lately, this might be the way to go

I've found a pile of shotgun shells beside a pool during the salmon run back in the 90's.
