I had Posted the picture in my post above and because I called it my Downrigger Tip Up This is what happened in Thunder Bay Ont when I was a member of a Forum there. So the important thing is to make sure there is no 'spring', just the rod under tension. Also keep in mind as in the Enforcement officers letter above that there are other jaw jacker type devices that do use a spring type mechanism, which would indeed be illegal. So again, it is only the rod itself under tension, which is clearly legal as per those MNR regs posted above. Simply my rod, and a piece of metal connected to the rod holder with some mono fishing line, again, no spring: If there is an external device that is in fact 'spring loaded' then that is illegal.
