Title: multiple fishing rods??
Post by: sirfunkeybut on April 07, 2010, 12:23:24 AM: so the other day i went and bought my license and they asked if i wanted a second rod permit or something alog those lines. Does this mean we can pay a little extra cash and get to use a second rod or was i not understanding her right?

There are only a small portion of lakes in the state that do not allow the two pole endorsement. And as previously stated, no rivers. It does not however increase your limit of fish. Just allows the second pole.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on April 07, 2010, 10:21:11 PM: I know a lot of times I use a rod on top (bobber) and a rod off the bottom (powerbait, or floating a worm) until I figure out what is working....
