Why would you listen to a guide as opposed to reading the actual regulation. It is black and white just read the dfg regulation.

Because it's their job to know what the DFG allows and does not allow. Would you go fishing with a guide or captain that did not guide by what the DFG regulations dictate? The two guys I am talking about are probably San Diego's most well known guides and I for one would listen to what they said when it comes to rules.

I read what the DFG is stating, and I do not believe that was written with the Alabama rigs in mind. Keep your eyes open for updates that will include the Alabama rigs for Saltwater and Freshwater.

Don't get me wrong I see your point, but I just don't think the reg books have caught up with the new gear yet. I apologize if anything that I have typed came across the wrong way. Not trying to be a jerk here, and I know you're not also. As we all know our DFG isn't the most with it group of people.
