Im a firm believer of one man one rod, but I would like to know how many rods you use at the same time when fishing R&S

 

[HEIHACHI]

depending on the conditions.
crowded or off the rocks 1
empty beach bites are few and far between - 2 (so i can try 2 diff baits)

 

[Simen]

Asked the same question elsewhere-Are you allowed to fish with more than one rod?

 

[Kumz]

Competitively NO ....

 

[surfaMIKE]

and for fishing for eds? I dont like fishing with more than one rod for eds because I tend to miss bites because I cant strike both at the same time

 

[Kumz]

Personally if i was social fishing i wud use to rods ...

1 to Slide & 1 for bait or edibles .

But on the other hand it limits my movement .

I have to be in close proximity of my slide just in case i get a pick up ..

Sometimes i like to work an area & move !!!

My take on two rods !!!

 

[SAfish]

I can only afford one. :cry1

 

[gut]

When targeting cracker i"ll take a second rod

 

[Nippy]

Two rods. One for sliding and the second for edibles/spooning. This would be ideal, again depends on situation on the day. :fishn, let's agree to disagree and play it by ear.

1 to slide two for eds....also depends on your location,if theres sand thats ok, cos the rodholders do their job.....today i went to the tackle store, looking for extra 'hands' - nothing on the shelves!!

 

[surfaMIKE]

so would it be wise to throw out a big bait like a shad head for big eds and leave it, and then use another smaller rod with a smaller bait like a strip of chokka for smaller eds?

 

[deisel]

normally only one with a beeeg slide out but if the waters are looking sweet ill put in a throw bait, i just dont like leaving a slide unattented, i dont even like putting it down, just incase i miss a fish, cuase then the swearing starts lol

 

[rofflign]

if fishing off the beach, put out one rod with a circle hook and bung it in the rodholder, the other rod you then fish with as per normal, off the bricks...one man one rod!

 

[Mussle Cracker]

i use 3
1 for drop shot
2 for eds
3 for non eds

i like to use a diff rod for each type of fishing

 

[willo]

always fish two .... get a big bait over the lip , while u waitng for the pick up(9 outa 10,the fish hooks it self) scratch with your second for rats and mice ect, or just get two differnt baits out

 

[Simen]

Namibian law -- Only one rod per license holder. Max 2 hooks.

 

[ZorG]

I don't get to the coast too often but when I do I tend to fish 1 rod during the day so that I can move around freely and not miss bites but at night we will pick a spot and then generally put 2 rods in.

 

[tauruck]

One rod but some okes really go too far. Poor Shad.

 

[neilg]

I take many with but normally use one or two depending on conditions

take one for sliding / livebaits
take one for throwbaits
take a 9ft Berkley Air for spinning
take a 7ft for dropshot

 

[bapsfontein]

I got a few rods but for diffrent times if you are just scraching around for small fish Iam useing a light rod and reel ,if I slide then I like to just to keep me busy try with the other one for something for the pan ,can get boring if you sit around and nothing is happening with the slide rod.

But 2 rods.
