So I found this back in October on the Vedder, wrapped around a rock.
The rig is stainless steel wire with three barbed hooks soldered on to the wire rig. A few red beads and two red/white & silver blades above the hooks. It was connected to some heavy (30+ lb test) monofilament line that had broken off. The middle and bottom hooks are opening up due to overstress, I'm guessing either with snagging on rocks or just yanking on the poor fish that fell victim to this "fisherman"
Have you ever seen anything like this before? Is this common in other parts of the world?

I know exactly what it is it is a walleye spinner that is normally trolled with a worm or a dead minnow i do not know what the owner of that lure was thinking he was a fool because you are only allowed on hook on one line in BC
-
Common in Ontario and most parts that have walleye

He could have saved himself time by just wrapping pencil lead around a treble hook. :)

Yup that's pretty much what it is.

I hate finding treble hooks on the river but that takes the cake. What are people thinking?
-
Pretty brutal looking. If I ever saw someone using that device on the Vedder they'd better be able to talk exceedingly well and come up with a good excuse or their rod is going into the river. Disgusting !
-
I guess people will use everykind of method just to "hook" a fish!!!!!! Must be desperate for protein...
-
...you guys all sure the owner wasn't simply visiting from Ontario and had no idea how to fish for salmon in BC but heard the Vedder was good and thought he would try out his walleye stuff he uses back home :D?
I really doubt it belongs to some hardcore salmon poacher who was out to decimate the Vedder's hatchery coho run...
jus sayin'...

Interesting that this is a recognized set up from elsewhere. I can't wait to use it the next time I travel east...I'll look like a pro!

Cant speak for Ontario,as its been many yrs since i have fished there,but i fish Walleye in Alberta and have never seen that kind of setup.

--the hooks are supposed to be used to hold bait or plastic worm in straight line and not as a snagging device.,, much like herring rigs used in salt.
--of course not legal in any BC stream no matter what the intent.
--I have several of these hook set ups as they come on casting lures as well from ontario... I of course cut two hooks off and pinch the barb on the remaining.
--The wire gives the hook a good wobble when trolled in a lake which is where I use the rig.

If the person who lost that lure was from back east I'm sure they would have the common sence to check to see what the local regs are before heading off to the river totally unaware.
-
Not too surprised I guess. I found a double treble hook barbed rapala lure on the cap once.

must be a leafs fan.

Definately what I was thinking.
-
I would guess he was trying to snap as he still had thirty # on there
I doubt they need 30# for walleye

I think I've seen these used on Coarse fish in Saskatchewan.
