You can only fish with 3 at one time. You can have as many in the boat or dock as you want. You do not have to have your name on them. As far as rigging you can tie lures on 6 rods as long as you don't put more than 3 in at one time you are good. I have been know to reel one in so I could throw to a brush pile while trolling. I hope this helps.

3 per person on Weiss and neely heny. Every other lake you can use all you want.

Oh yeah this is the dumbest rule the state of Alabama has ever come up with.i don't troll much but if I did I would be calling someone about this daily.

I know it's 3 lines per person. I'm pretty sure you can have 2 hooks per line.

You are correct superfly. On Weiss and Neely Henry it is 3 rods per person but for everywhere else in Alabama there is no pole limit. I hate the rule and we tried to fight it and get it changed but we have not been successful. I usually use 2 hooks per line but don't know if there is actually a law prohibiting more than 2 hooks per line. All the tournament rules that I know of limit you to 2 hooks per line in tournaments.
