Double treble Hooks?
In the regs it states that you cant have more than 3 hooks in the water from one line.
When you buy a new rapala lure it has 2 treble hooks on it. Im just wondering what most people do? Do you replace the trebles with singles or remove one of the treble hooks?
Thanks

I personally won't use trebles anymore. Everything is replace/removed and one barbless installed.

A treble counts as one hook, so your Rapala with 2 Trebels is legal, and in fact you have another and some Rapalas do.

Is this true Izumi? I thought that a treble counted as three.

treble is one hook as it is all on one shaft. you can legally have three trebles on a lure

It's legal to have the 2 trebles.
That said, I leave only the tail hook on, and I have even snipped one of the hooks off the remaining treble to form a double. Trebles can be a pain in the butt to remove if the fish swallows it the wrong way. For catch and release, they're way too much hassle, and I catch fish just fine on my modified double.
I find removing the front hook on a Rapala also reduces the number of times the lure gets all tangled up on itself during the cast.

If that's the definition, then why in BC does it count as 3 (x's 2 or 3) and you have to take all the trebles off and replace them with only 1 single?! (Just asking, not trying to start anything!)

P.S. I realize we live in AB before anyone makes smartazz comment!

the key is not to ask why.
It is unlawful to use the following
•Use a lure in angling with more than three hooks as part of it.
•Use a hook with more than three points on a common shaft
A treble has 3 points so its fine.

This is true. If you look under the "Definitions" section of your regs for Hook
Hook – means a single-, double- or triple-pointed hook on a common shaft, and includes hooks attached to a lure.

If memory serves correctly, BC non-tidal waters do not allow trebles... and I think only 1 hook as well...
I was told on this forum to take off all 3 trebles on rapalas and replace with 1 single hook...

Yeah I gave you that advice, b/c those are the regs for BC, so my inquiry related to just that!! As far as I understand, a treble counts as 3 hooks in BC?!
Anyone shed some light on this?!

In BC most bodies of water specify:
a) Single barbless hook OR
b) They don't specify "single barbless" then trebles are legal
There's even the odd lake where barbed hooks are legal.
You won't find all of this information in the BC Regs but streams are single barbless while it is best to check at a local tackle shop or marina for lakes.
IMO the AB Regs are more clear that the BC Regs. Also when BC puts out regs they are in effect for 2 years so if there are changes during the 2 years they expect you to know somehow.
Always best to talk to others for clarification.

Hate to say it, but.....
Read the regs.
It clearly states that treble hooks count as 1 common shaft. Therefor, you can have up to 3 treble hooks on 1 single lure/setup. on smaller rapalas and similar lures I would recommend removing the front treble. Most of the time it just gouges into the fish.
