How many rods?

Hey guys,

New to crappie fishing thats why there are so many questions, sorry about that. anyways heres my question upon getting ready for ice fishing for crappies this year and i only have one rod right now i was thinking, i will need another rod for minnows and a bobber , and kind of being the lazy person i am i thought should i get another one for just using a jig and waxies under an ultra sensitive bobber like the thill tackle mini stealth, because i thought if i used this kind of bobber i would be getting maybe alot more false hits caused by the minnow, any imput on this topic would be very helpful, how many rods do you use?

Never too many rods. I like to have 2 or 3 all ready to go on the ice. If I miss a fish sometimes I will drop somethng a little different down to him. or if they steel the bait I won't have to rebait the line. saves time.

Did you make it alright?

Here in Nebraska, you can fish with up to 5 rods per person.  That can be a mix of rods and or tip-ups.  I have 12 rod set ups.  I generally will jig with 2 and then have 3 with minnow and bobber.  You can have no more than 2 hooks pre line though.  I make all of my rods.

Here in Minnesota we are restricted to two lines. I usually have one setup as a deadstick with livebait and one setup to jig. I watch the Vexilar and see what depth the crappies are at and adjust the deadstick rod accordingly.

I usually bring out about 6 rigged rods out on the ice with me.

walliceman:
thanks, so you guys dont think 3 is to many? and what do all of you have each rod set up for? i mean how many possible ways to rig a line are there? lol
