A-rig in AR?

[Rob LaMoy]

I spoke to a MO DNR officer and confirmed that bama rigs are legal in MO but does anyone know if they are legal in Arkansas? I need to know for the TBF championship on Bull Shoals. I know they do NOT have a reciprocal license so I don't assume they share regs on that body of water either.

The DNR doesn't regulate laws or license in MO. That is by the MDC and they say the rig is legal in Mo. but it can only have 3 baits on it. We have a reciprocal license with them but I don't know about other states. Good Luck.

I'm not 100% sure but I think AR you can use the A-rig with all five hooks. Rich is correct about three hooks in MO, but you CAN use a spinnerbait or swimbait with NO hook on the remaining two wires.
