NJ Ice regs question

[Chrisper4694]

i was partially joking and just referring to the 1/2 inch size limit on hooks (point to shaft). what i meant was, why would they have the 1/2 inch point to shaft size limit on hooks other than to limit the chance of jigging up and snagging a fish??

how can anyone prevent snagging a fish anyway? oops it swiped at my lure and i hit it in the belly...idk why they bother making that rule.

it also says it's unlawful to use set lines...but then doesn't say 'except on ice'...what's a tip up? a set line.

a lawyer would destroy most of these rules haha
