    Default Il how many poles?


    From what I read in the regs two poles per person with no more than two hooks per line. Reason I ask, watched crappie masters tv Carlyle lake saw one boat with two guys in boat with 6 poles across the front spider rigging.

    Never mind looked farther found that you can troll with three. Seems odd every where is different where we go in WI two poles drifting one pole trolling.

    Most lakes are posted 2 pole and line only if it’s not posted you can use up to 50 hooks as long as anything after two devices is tagged with a name and address

    be very careful with that 3 lines trolling. The co's around Kankakee area do not allow that rule

    Page 8 of the 2018 Illinois fishing Regulations state:

    Trolling is permissible, provided the angler has notmore than three poles and lines with not more thantwo hooks or lures on each, except in waters wherethere is a 2 pole and line only designation If using athird pole, the pole should be tagged with the an-gler’s name and address.

    I've never tried mazonia for crappie and I swore to never go back to braidwood after a windy day with some lower unit damage. I've done pretty good at heidecke the last few years though
