How many fishing rods do you use？

When you go fishing

How many fishing rods do you use?

What is the distance between the fishing rods?

[framey]

Depends 

sometimes I will use 1 even on a 3 rod water 

sometimes 3 isn’t enough and I could easily use 6 or 7 if I could lol

[yonny]

I will use as many as I feel I can get away with up to a maximum of 3.

So if I have a load of water in front of me and I feel my chosen spot(s) can accommodate 3 then I'll use 3.

If the swim aint so big or the spots are small I might use 2.

In a quiet corner I might use 1.

All depends on the swim and the angling situation.

Depends where the spots are in relation to the swim. Normally they'll be on the bars/sticks so right next to each other.

1, 2, or 3

One is sometimes enough, two might be water limit, or 3 if allowed and the swim is suitable

Minimum 2 (2rod licence) but only ever 3 if my son comes. 

But I will set up 3, use 2, 3rd will be setup ready to het straight back out.

I used to do that on Brackens. The 3rd rod was already baited, with a stringer nearby, so I could quickly recast after a fish. 

 

It's one reason I don't always clip up, and go by 'cast memory'. Even so it is rare for me to overcast into a tree or onto the far bank, and I can feather it down if I feel it was too hard.

The lake I've started to fish now has 3 features (for me) and each is exactly 15wraps to each 1.

But half a rodength further, and I'll have no end tackle left on either rod 🤣

If I am anywhere NEAR snags and the weather is bad and I need sleep

Its ZERO rods out

Or one, depending on how near the snags are

Too many people keep a battery of rods out when it is all wrong

You don't fish weedy waters then I'm guessing?
