To me it depends upon how your fishing , I use both, usually fish with one rod out and the other in the margins, but I do have a plan as how I will play and land the fish, from both rods, to be honest the water I fish has quite clear bank's in most swims so walking along the bank to land a fish is not a major problem ........ I fish with my margin rod at 90 degree that way I can see the rod tip move before the alarm goes off most of the time .....

Must admit if fishing to snags I do point straight at the snag, but with a very tight line, and hit every bleep, so the fish doesn't make it. You have to be right on the rods, no excuses, and singles are best for that. It is very easy to play fish around slack lines, as pretty much the line drops straight down from the rod tip, so all playing is done past the line, and the untouched line never comes into play. Current has meant I have to be fishing tight lines the past few years, but the distance involved from rod to end tackle means I can play a fish around other lines. With three rods on bars it is probably the middle rod that is hardest to play and land a fish on! Even then, daytimes you can gauge the line as you play the fish and keep it below or above the other lines. Not so easy at night though!

Broadwater near Meriden is producing some stunning fish. Not fished it myself but know a couple of lads who did well on there.
