7C Types of hooks to be used on set lines
(1) The holder of a line fishing endorsement must not for the purpose of taking fish in the fishery—
(a) use any set line with hooks attached unless the hooks are circle hooks, or
(b) use any set line in waters that are less than 92 metres (50 fathom) deep with hooks attached unless the hooks are non-offset hooks.
(1A) It is a condition of an endorsement that the endorsement holder does not contravene this clause.
(2) In this clause—
circle hook means a hook that is generally circular in shape and that curves inwards so that a straight line drawn from the point of the hook, following the line of the point of the hook, crosses the shank of the hook (but not the eye of the hook).
line fishing endorsement means a line fishing western zone endorsement, a line fishing eastern zone endorsement or a school and gummy shark endorsement.
non-offset hook means a hook that when laid on a flat surface (except for the eye of the hook where the line is attached) lies entirely on the same dimensional plane (that is, flat).
