2nd Line

[wormer]

I read just lately that one of the items listed in the new house and senate bills is that anglers could use two lines throughout the year as long as they purchase a $5 second-line endorsement. In some of the bass tournament rules it is listed that only one line in the water at a time. Others just state to follow and abide by the rules set forth by the state. I myself dont feel that there is a need for a second line when tournament fishing. What are others thoughts on this?

Tournaments = NO!

The only times I would see a second line beneficial, are trolling, bobbering, and jigging on the rivers. As well as fishing cats.

Definately no for tournaments. I really dont see how you can bass fish with two rods very effectively anyway. Now when I fish the red river, since I'm from Wahpeton, I do and it works great from shore.

I agree with the first two replies. I went to college in South Dakota where you are able to fish with two rods during the open water months. Fishing from shore was great. Cast one out and let it sit on the bottom and cast reel a second. I would be in favor of a law that would only allow shore fishermen use two lines.

although i wouldn't throw 2 rods i would throw two lures a carolina rigged worm with a jig npig for a weight or a whole mess of flukes loooking like a school of shade. I heard that the second one was one of kvd's favorites where legal. ike

I thing that wormer has a good idea when it comes to fishing with two lines. I would be in favor for the two line per person if they put tight restrictions on when you can use them. Only on shore would be a great one.

It'd be great for catfishin, and I would buy one. I dunno about the shore though. I have a boat and pretty much only fish from that. I don't want to be arsed out for having a boat. POS boat at that, but still I want that option to.

Like others have stated.. In WI tournaments I have fished 2 lures before.. 2 cranks tied together.. a dropshot with a jig underneath it, a jig as a weight on a carolina rig, 2 flukes chasing each other...

Not legal in MN, but if the new law came up, I'd deffinatly do it here as well.

[Bassman55]

Yeah I would take advantage of using two lures on one line more than two seperate lines.

I would love it crappie fishing. Did you know one year ago I was out on WBL in a BOAT? Now we are getting this crazy snowstorm!
