I am not sure what the rule [if there is one] is in California. in Alaska, the hook {eye} can not be more than four inches from the "egg" or you are de facto snagging. I have to agree that the method is not significantly different from the typical Lower Sac or Trinity bead with a hook down two inches below the bead.
I don't have a lot of experience with that rig, but it seems to preferentially hook the outside of the fish's mouth. I've never had one in the fish's eye, or deep in the gills.
Be interesting to see what Sgt Diaz thinks of the rig.
