Swim Bait question???

I fished with a guy last year who had a hud that had 6 stinger hooks attached to it, it acutally looked like a junk yard LOL. My question is, are there any laws or tournament rules that indicate the number of hooks you can put on a bait???

Re: Breaking News-WON Bass...2 circuits merge & more...

Well I said that because WON only has 3 Pro/Am in the North. WBC has permits for Clear Lake in March, and the Delta in may, I sure would hate to see those go to waste. With one less circut it should make for fuller fields. Just my oppinion.
