Most fishermen can't even handle one rod. And what about all the people who cry, "I can only reel with my left (or right) hand."[] "I'm used to holding the rod with my right (or left) hand."[] I hear this crap every week. But now, all of a sudden everyone can fish with two rods? Give me a break. Fishing is a one-rod, two-hand operation. And, now the snaggers will have a field day jerking treble hooks up and down, with a rod in each hand!
If you're bait fishing for a mess of fish to take home, I can understand putting out two lines and setting down the rods. If you're trolling, drag the whole tackle box at every depth, I guess. Other than that, two rods is rediculous.
(Hey, it's getting cold, and I've still only had a handful of fishermen on my boats in the last 25 years that can handle one rod, so now I've vented and feel better.)[laugh]
