Instead of a Kage why not use one of these. You swing it down on the fish. What do you think?

Good point, its got a hook on it.

You probably won't get a citation for simply having a kage because they are legal for sharks rays and skates (and pacific halibut). You can get cited for using one on any other fish.

so what you are saying is that someone who gets paid alot of money came out with a law that is very hard to enforce...
