Snagging paddlefish

[peterk123]

Anyone here have experience doing it? I'm curious about the quality of treble hook. Lot of trebles are junk so I was wondering if you would have some recommendations. Thx

Fishing rules vary. He is in Montana and there are multiple snagging seasons, I know of Paddlefish and Kokanee. Heck, you can hunt pike with a rifle in Vermont. Snagging is legal in saltwater for salmon in Alaska.

Welp, evidently those that make the laws in Minn don’t think you should.
But Vermont, shooting at the surface of a body of water is a little sketchy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Legal in Missouri too, on many of the states waters. A good strong #10 or 12 will suffice. Edit to add, buy a lot of them.

We have to use barbless here in OK. We just use whatever they have at the gas station since you’re going to break off a bunch in the rocks. Never had any issues with hooks straightening and they’re going to get dull from bouncing off rocks pretty quickly.

My buddy goes paddlefishing every year up by the confluence. He uses #10 hooks. He didn't mention any brands. Just bring lots of extra tackle like weights.

Mustad 8/0 works well for me. Have to pinch barbs now.
