It is an extremely smart rule. Note, rot cord is not used for the line connecting the trap to surface, it is to create a portal for crabs to escape if the trap is lost. A pot without a rot-cord escape port becomes a death trap, killing crabs for many years because crabs die inside, becoming bait for other crabs, and on and on. A lost pot with no escape port can kill thousands of crabs for no good reason. I'm an avid crabber -- rot cord is smart if you like crabbing.
@Bbfishman Thats pretty well everywhere, if your trap gets tangled or loss from your bouy then the crabs can get out. Im in BC Canada and we have the same rules.
"You take the front pincher" as he grabs the front leg....what a moron doesn't even know the difference between a leg and a pincher? I mean, how do you even confuse the two?
