Spider Rigging

[ric lee]

Is spider rigging legal in Missouri? If so how many poles can you use. I know in some states you can only use one pole.

[Outside Bend]

One person can use as many as three poles in the state.

[Bird Watcher]

you can use more than three, but every rod over your third must be tagged with all your personal information the same way a jug or trot line is.

Page 6 of general fishing regulations

If you use more than 3 poles (or two poles on the Mississippi River) at any one

time, the additional poles must be labeled with your full name and address.

Regardless of the method or number of poles, you may not use more than a

total of 33 hooks at any one time; except on the Mississippi River the maximum

is 50 hooks at one time.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks bird! I hadn't seen that caveat.
