how in this world can a treble hook be considered only one?Here in new york even the b arb can be considered a hook point, so it pays to mind the details...otherwise when mr. dec comes and checks your gear......you'd better be sharp...no pun intended.
That's the rule in Massachusetts! One treble hook with 3 main barbs and 3 reverse barbs count as ONE HOOK! Look it up in the Mass fishing laws.
