Can someone please help me, I'm going to Dale Hollow at the end of the month and want to know what are the rules for throwing the bama rig? Is there a limit on the amount of hooks that can be thrown in the state of Tennessee.

Can someone please help me, I'm going to Dale Hollow at the end of the month and want to know what are the rules for throwing the bama rig? Is there a limit on the amount of hooks that can be thrown in the state of Tennessee.
"Due to the high volume of phone calls regarding the state’s complicated rules surrounding the Alabama rig, The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission has announced a change in regulations that will go into effect on March 1, 2013.
Anglers may only use three hooks on each rod—the hooks can be any size, with both single and treble hooks permitted for use. While treble hooks will be legal, it will still be illegal to use three crankbaits on a single cast that are rigged with two hooks each.
Five lures may still be used on Alabama rigs, but only three of them can have hooks. Anglers with three hooks or less on their line will be perfectly legal. Anything more than three hooks will be against the law."
If you are fishing the ky side of the lake, your rig can have 50 hooks on it but don't cross the state line or TWRA will stick it to you
