How many allowed????

A three pole limit at least slows down some of the less ethical people that will limit out, go home, and come back later in the day.

If you're main concern is getting that coveted limit, become a commercial fisherman and set some nets out. The excuse that a limit is a limit, regardless of number of poles, is the lamest excuse that I hear. If that limit is the holy goal, then you probably are one of those guys that tries to get them on ice and head back out.

Heres the real shocker, I use one rod and seem to catch plenty of crappie most years.

I think 3 poles is enough. If i'm spider rigging 3 keeps me plenty busy. If i'm not spider rigging I like to set one bobber and minnow out and cast jigs with my other pole. Two in that situation is about all I can keep up with.
