How do you ban something by the honor system? Why go through the trouble of making a rule that's unenforceable to start with?
Weighmaster: "You didn't catch that fish on a yo-yo rig, did you?"
Entrant: "Hell no"
Do they expect guys fishing for the same team to blow the whistle on each other?
It's symbolic and an empty rule. The worst kind of rule you can make. One that relies on self-enforcement by the entrants. All show and no substance.
I'd let yo-yoing be an legal method as long as the state kept it a legal method.
