Not mini-jigs? No Berkley baits ... gulp eggs ... plastic worms? ... or mice tails?
Anybody have an idea of why the Berkley - Gulps are not considered artificials?

The DFG site has a Q & A section where you can ask specific questions like this and a Warden will eventually answer you. Other option would be to call the CA Fish and Wildlife office in Long Beach and talk with a human.
Any lure that is a scented is considered bait and if the requirement is artificial's only then scented baits are not allowed.
To add to Seals accurate response....All Berkley plastics have scent(ie:Powerbait or Gulp). Therefore are illegal. You can however fish non-scented plastic worms and jigs, and remember to ALWAYS PINCH YOUR BARBS!

As far as the ones I have used only Berkley and some of Drews Customs have scent. Trout King, Lip Ripperz do not. Id rather fly fish in Sierra waters that have special regs.tho. Oh and I would recommend lures converted over to single barbless hook over plastics up there too. Just my added 2 cents....
