I know that the reg's states only two poles in use at one time, and there is a motion to make it up to 4 poles. I'm on my kayak the other day, and an old guy saw me come back to the launch and he said I have too many poles. I normally carry 4 poles pre-rigged for the day, when the line snaps on one, or if I see a different fish in the area...I can just grab and toss a different rig at it.

Normally one small fish pole rigged with a sabiki rig for porgies, one casting pole, one jig pole, and one set up for casting and jigging for a spare. In the winter months, I'll set 3 poles up for togs, using only one at a time, because once I break off a rig, wearing gloves, it is a pain in the butt to tie up another rig while trying to stay on the bite. Kayak fishing is a little bit different from boat fishing and shore fishing...since your getting wet and the weather doesn't like us most of the time. Also, while on a kayak....it's not feasible to use more than one line at a time unless anchored up and fishing for porgies and blues at the same time.

I've searched all the reg's for anything that states a max number of poles per/person per/vessel...and I can't find one.

The 2 pole rule is for inland waters and I believe the proposal stands on 3 pole limit for next year sometime down from the requested 4 poles.

There is no restriction on the number of lines, hooks or rods with regard to salt water sport fishing in CT. That is why there is no mention of "max number of poles" in the regs.
The fresh water restriction on the number of "lines-in-the-water" should be increased to limit of 3-lines in 2013 which is an increase from "2-lines".

Nice rig you have

Thank you for the answers and the compliment.
