Not sure. You can call the number on the letter about the jawjacker and ask. I've used tip-downs like tip-ups before and the game warden didn't have a problem with it, but it was one man on one day. Never know about a different officer on another day, best to have in writing.

Well let's get this clarified for everyone

Are you talking about the Jaw Jacker?

I don't think so. A tip-down is a totally different fishing system where your rod literally tips down when you get a bite. There's a website, tipdown.com, that has pics and products for sale. I'm pretty sure they're put in the same catagory as Jawjackers and riggers by the ODNR.

Let's hope

Agreed. They're an "unattended fishing device" same as tip-ups, riggers, and JawJackers. I don't see why the ODNR would treat them any differently. I'd think you could use up to 6 and still be legal. I had 3 out before and was jigging by hand and didn't get a fine or even a warning. There was no problems at all.

Who do you have to contact to figure this out?
Does anyone have a direct contact number?

There's contact info on the link at the top of the general discussion board. It's in the link marked sticky about letter from ODNR says JawJackers a tip-up. There's an email and a phone number in that link on the first post by Dave H.

Ok thanks
Don't know when I will be able to contact them.
I will as soon as I get a chance, or if someone can it be great.
