Author Topic: Question about possessing jig poles? (Read 1689 times)

Can you carry as many jig poles on you as you want, so long as only 2 lines are in the water at a time? The other day, someone told me you can only carry 2 poles with you, regardless of how many you're fishing. Is this true? If it is, I've definitely bent the rules on occasion! haha Oddly enough, DEP has never said anything to me about it...

2 of us went fishing last night and had 8 poles...

A pro bass fisherman would be lost with less than 30 poles on board.

I too sometimes carry more than 2 poles and always carry more than 5 tipups what if one breaks or needs tending to .I put one of the spares in and repiar the other one .You can only have 5 tipups in at one time..,and 2 jigpoles in at one time. You could carry 100 if you wanted to.

all i do is jig fish,and a have 7 poles with me at all times with different jigs on them
this way if the fish are not hitting on one type of jig i can go to a different jig with out
trying to tie a new one on, the eyes and hands arenot what they use to be
the warrens that i know[very well] has not said a word about the number you carry nor
does the d.e.c. book
hope this helps

Hey, we like to call them rods. Poles are something you hang electric lines on

And I only carry around 15...............or so.....in the boat

Of course I'm not a pro either.

Same here, usually have at least 6 rods with me on the ice...I also get razzed about having a half dozen rods at least in the boat for open water as well

SNAGGER · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 01:04 PM »

I carry nine rods with me 6 for jigging...

stringer01 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 05:59 PM »

and the other three to beat off the competition right snag sorry i had too

nefarious · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 06:26 PM »

I thought so. I routinely carry 3 poles with me and 5 tip ups with many tip up spools rigged with different # test and setups for varied conditions. I found it surprising that someone would say that. Possibly I misunderstood? Not sure. Point being: I have never been hassled by dec for this and am glad I never will be. It's a pain switching jigs all the time: much better having a few rigs set up so you don't have to get your hands cold!

tomhnt · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 07:51 PM »

I carry 4 to 6 jigging rods ,5 tip -downs and 7 to 9 tip-ups at any one time and will be expanding the tip-up to about 12 after this season ( 5 set just for toothy critters and 5 for eyes and jumbos wit a few extras for the friends

)

You can carry a million poles with you as long as you only use two at a time.

Rods, Poles You're fishing for bass

I'm sure they don't care

coldbum · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 10:04 AM »

On any given trip I have 7-10 tipups and 3-4 jiggin poles.
I have them rigged for different baits, fish or other variables.
As long as you have the legal number of lines in the water you are a legal eagle.

coldbum · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 10:05 AM »

Not to mention what happens if a piece of gear breaks on the ice? It is always nice to have an extra setup or two all rigged and ready to fish. When the bite is on who wants to be down a line?

Superpole · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 10:13 AM »

Don't forget the rattle reels and tip downs for when the pike don't like the tip ups.. I carry about 17 devices (10 tip ups, 2 tip downs 3 jiggers and 2 rattlers) been checked many times never been an issue. It's what is in the water.

skidplate · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 10:31 AM »

Pole-rod debate, poles are stuff like cane poles ya' know like for springtime panfishin'. Rods have eyes and reels.

trapper2000 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 11:43 AM »

i though ya used a pole to push the boat around with

? don't matter i call em both i carry a couple rods with a couple poles just because i like to carry extra stuff around....
terminolgy means nothing when your on a good bite

GDominy12 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 11:45 AM »

You can carry as many rods as you want.. otherwise bass fishermen would be getting a lot of tickets
