i'd say its a step in the right direction. the circle hook / eel issue is the only real problem i have with it, but I could live with it.
one thing to consider is that striper fishing in maine is a big tourist thing, from what i have observed. i'm sure there are plenty of serious striper fisherman in maine too, and i'm not trying to diminish that at all. but head down to any of the tourist beaches (OOB, York, Ogunquit, Saco, etc.) any afternoon and you'll see a ton of people fishing the beach that really have no clue, although most probably mean well, and "releasing" plenty of floaters after ripping the hooks out of their gullets and posing for pictures for 10 minutes with an 18" fish. taking treble hooks and j hooks away as a bait fishing option for these occasional fisherman can only help IMO.
