Thanks for advise in the end in juat gonna stick with the 2 next year and see how I go and see if I think it makes much difference to catch rate I dont think it will and most of the time I'll be on water where i think two is enough anyway

I usually use 3 rods, dependant on rules obviously. Even on a 2 rod water I have a 3rd rod set up ready. It means I can reel one in, attach a fresh PVA bag to the dry spare rod and cast at showing fish, or to the feature and then sort out the reeled in rod at my leisure. A bulk spool of line is usually about right for 3 reels if they are loaded correctly with backing if needed. As for hooks and materials etc, I buy a spool, buy packets, so have plenty of rigs made up. The licence cost is down to you, but for the cost of it, its worth it.

Yep!

2 for me... club rules state 2 rods... seems fair enough... the water's less than 4 acres... really don't feel the need to fish 3 any more... as has been said, lighter, cheaper, less scope for getting the others wiped out if you get a scrapper on the end...👍

I see this asked a lot. It's a no-brainer. As long as you can fish 3 rods effectively in a given swim, you should use 3. It's not an extra chance imo - it's an extra fish, or more, if used correctly when on the fish. I carry 3, if a swim is too small to use 3 effectively I'll use 2. Sometime I'll use just one in a diddy little corner under a bush. But the fact of the matter is if I can fish 3 effectively I will do - it catches more fish. Simple fact buddy!
