I would bet that more people troll rather than jig and with two rods you can troll two different depths and/or baits. Even for jigging I like using two rods for the reasons others have stated. Remeber you are the VERY minority with your specialized jigging technique/hookset which you like people to use two hands! Most people are happy fishing without a guide using one rod for jigging and the other to soak a cisco, drown a nightcrawler, or dunk some powerbait. Even on a restrictive limit water like Bear Lake (two trout limit) two rods will not show any biological impact. I'm sure everyone has an opinion on this, but BIOLOGICALLY speaking the two pole regulation will not likely make much of an impact. However, as most of us know, nothing is totally black and white in biology and I am sure if something is amiss down the road the regs will be adjusted accordingly.
