sliders

[fishin2]

Are sliders a free lure on a line, be it free or fixed ?

IF we are talking about the same thing (slider/cheater)a slider is simply a lure on a leader with a snap swivel placed onto a downrigger line. It gravitates/sinks to the apex of the line created by your boats movement through the water.

Yes, sliders are a "free" lure, it doesn't count as another rod.  You can fish them on all 3 rods if you choose

Thanks fellas, thought so. Does it state that in the NY fishing regs? Also saw a thing about 3 rods /person, no more than 15 points.

Change your trebles out to singles to be in complete compliance. You know, we all  want to be in complete compliance.
