Making the siding weight a law is a great idea - I just have never ever considered fishing any other way.
One thing that I did learn last year after catching a 7 footer from the boat and removing my circle hook - I found another hook (from someone that had lost there hook) in it's mouth the was embedded half way in. I took the pliers and removed it. The hook was rusting away where the hook was exposed but the part of the hook that was embedded was still bright chrome.
So remember when you lose a fish and say that the hook will rust off - that's only partially true - the hook that is impaled will stay with the fish MUCH LONGER.....
So use the proper equipment out there....
