HA. Sorry. I forget that using the word sucker can be easily misconstrued on a fishing forum. I just meant a fish. [

I'll probably never get the license to try it, as I'd rather invest in the second pole permit. THAT is money well spent IMHO.[/quote]
It really is even though sometimes I think it is unfortunate we have to buy a permit to use an additional rod/reel. Granted, my opinion is a result of where I grew up. I am not up on the current regulations in Texas but when I was a teenager, there was no limit to the amount of rods used when fishing. You just needed the license.
When I saw the thread on Umbrella Rigs, I thought someone was maybe referring to Spider Rigging which is extremely popular for crappie in some parts of the country but not legal here. Well I guess it is but your Spider Rig would consist of 2 rods (assuming you had the second pole permit) instead of the typical 6-8 rods.
All said and done, I think it is worth the money to be able to fish two different rods at the same time. A lot of times I will rig one up with bait and the other I will use to jig or throw cranks or some other more finesse type lure.
