~~~Actually your allowed 4 single hooks on your line, or 4 lures with trebble hooks, but your asking for a disaster of a mess, if you hook into a phish

Actually it's 4 hooks per line.
Either single, double, treble or any combination of them.
Live bait or lures plays no part anymore.

This is the rig

That's clearly counted as five (5) hooks per line, so I'd think we would have to remove one hook..

They now make one with hookup for 4 hooks instead of 5.

  these Rigs have been around for a Very long time,
 
   They are used  Heavily on the atlantic coast fishing for Striped Bass.


  I own one, But have not caught anything with it,   trying to troll.


  You can  add or remove hooks as needed,  While trolling i would only use one hook from the centre with all the others as attractors.


   as for casting???   I'm sure there is  a better way to get the fish to your boat.


 I have heard these rigs are great for Lake Trout, and possibly white fish trolling.


   still yet to get mine fired while out for Chinook.....
