ive been looking into for michigan is the bait actually legal here because i read somewhere only 3 hooks to a line?
It's 3 rods in Michiagn or no more then 6 hooks or lures
The strange parts would be, It might be considered one lure?
Per the DNR
"Hook and Line Fishing: Fish so taken must be hooked in the mouth. Fish not hooked in the mouth must be returned to the water immediately. No more than three lines per person (including tip-ups) nor more than six hooks or lures may be used. All hooks attached to an artificial bait or "night crawler harness" are counted as one hook. Hooks must be baited or attached to an artificial bait. You may use any number of hooks on one line for taking smelt in recognized smelt waters. Tip-ups and similar devices used for ice fishing must show the angler's name and address. All lines must be under immediate control. Hook size regulations exist on certain streams (see Exceptions to General Regulations by County, p. 16-18). "

And they count "hooks" not lures
So it's a legel rig in Michigan
