If tandems are exempted from the rule then can the second hook be a treble? Probably not but they made this very unclear....a sure sign of a rule that was rushed through without enough thought.
Make sure that when you switch your trebles for singles, that you use the right sized hook. I'm sure AJ from AJs Bait and Tackle can guide you...he'll probably make a lot in hook sales this spring. Hopefully lure makers adapt and begin packaging their spoons with single pointed hooks.

Hopefully Mink Islander gets an email back because that's not at all how I read it. I read it as only being for live bait. This makes sense to me becuase fish tend to quickly swallow live bait more so than lures.
