Hmmmm. this is some good insight about this rule. I can see where your coming from; just improper fishing by a lot of people. But actually most jigs like that are not infused with scents and what not... but I guess a few anglers abuse the ones that are. I like to use shrimpos and stuff for jigging bluegills through the ice, but some of my fav. big bluegill lakes are flies/lures only and I can't use those now, and the fish won't bite much else through the ice unless they are very aggressive. I just think that instead of making it a blanket rule like it is it should be made more specific... just like the slot limit of pike someone else on this site mentioned earlier. Hmmmmm at least you guys have given me some insight on this rule and why it was made... I may make some suggestions to DOW about changing the rule for a few lakes anyway.
