Umbrella Rig in TOP BASS

There have been a number of people asking if the Umbrella Rig will be leagle to use in TOP BASS events.

Here is the rule regarding Tackle.

Tackle: 2-4

2-4(a) All fish must be caught using “ARTIFICIAL BAIT”. A team is not permitted to have any live bait on their boat at any time during an event. No previously alive bait is permitted. Boats may be inspected by the TOP BASS officials at any time if the use of Live bait is suspected.

2-4(b) All bait and tackle must be legal within the Federal and Provincial Fisheries laws for the area you are fishing that day.


So, as long as an Umbrella Rig meets the deffinition of a lure by the MNR, it will be legal to use in TOP BASS events.

The "Fish Ontario" discription of this rig by will be posted on the TOP BASS web site shortly.
