Two Lines or One.

[OldTimer]

I'm not real good at casting/retrieving 2 rods at the same time............ you?

2 lines in the Great Lakes came about not so long ago after Pacific salmon fever began - as a political crowd appeasing offering to Lake O boat owners/anglers & cities along the coasts to enhance the tourism $.... and a financially driven gesture for charter boats owners in all the Great Lakes..... it had zilch to do with how tough it was............. it was $$$$$$ and votes.

You missed consideration of bait fishing. This is where the crux of the inequality of the current regulation lies.
