    i did not know that, good thing you bought it to my attention, you say 3 rods, how do you mean that, when my wife and i fish from the boat for crappie, does that mean we can only have 3 rods on board each, or 3 rods in the water with lures

    chet
    ps i do usually have 4 bass rods in my boat and 2 crappie rods

    i want to add that i was at a local fishing store today, i was looking for the pflueger size 25, salesperson said they only carry the size 20 and 30, but he did bring it to my attention they had a combo on the rack that had the size 25, so i did buy it, wonder if anyone has went this route, i am hoping that this reel is the same reel if i were to find it purchased separately, it says 10 bearings ect. hope it ain't a stripped down version.

    When getting you license, it pays to also get the rule book. Or go online to their site, and read up on things. Just trust me on this, their rules can be ever changing.

    3 rods per person. So if you were trolling, you could have 6 out, with the wife in the boat also.

    Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission - Homepage That is the main page.

    https://www.fishinpa.com/tackle-equi...lations-in-pa/ This tells the regulation. I see that there is now no restriction on how many hooks per line. At one time, it use to be two, then it went to 3.

    Schmoopie, they have always been kind of backwards with their regulations, even for hunting. In the past few years, they are finally listening, or at least letting the public voice their opinion, before changing some rules.

    It's just odd to watch the catfish guys with 6-8 (or more) rods hanging off the boat or someone spider rigging with more rods than Bass Pro and then hear that there's a 3 rod (up from 2) limit in some states. The "trophy crappie" lakes around here allow 4 rods per person and that's just a restriction on specific lakes.
