How many rods? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It depends on what I am fishing for.

I usually have one rod dedicated to catching bait (unless I hit a bait barge)

Then I will have two rods set up for my target fish. Sometimes a forth with an iron or swim bait.

Sometimes I fish one rod at a time and others I may have two out. Depends on what I am fishing for and the current. One rod is easier to manage but two rods doubles your chance of a hook up. If the two rods lines entangle each other, then you have a mess on your hands.
