I think ya'll have it right. Be courteous and a sportsman if it gets crowded. That being said. I thought the rule was one bait rod and one fishing rod= 2! When did this change? Just askin'...

Doesn't a trolley rig require 2 rods?

There is such a thing as a single line trolley, but the weights are expensive and that makes for a lot of tackle to lose to a shark.
Single line trolley consists of a weight on the end of your line and a hook & leader on a snap swivel with a float. The swivel is snapped to your line after you cast out the weight then slides down to your weight after a fish is on. You cannot set the hook until the swivel hits the weight. The weight interferes with fighting the fish, too.
Not nearly as effective as a double line rig, and like I said, expensive when a shark eats it.RTR anyway.

Thanks to all for the clarification. I’ll be down 11-15 Feb for a reprieve of the cold rainforest formerly called North Georgia with three old Army pals. Looking forward to a week of fishing and salt air.
Hope to see many of you.
Thank you. I’ll check them out.
Monofilament line?
