Do I need an extra license if I have 2 rods and a marker float in use?

You are entitled to *fish* with two rods, you can have twenty-five set up,
but only two with hook and bait !

Thank you, that was what I thought.

I presume if a bailiff wanted to check one would be obliged to reel in to
prove their was no hook attached.

Rod licence covers rods which are capable of catching fish. A marker rod
isn't, so do don't need an extra licence. Same with a spod rod.

However, if you fished a rod with a hook, but no bait, it is still
classified as being capable of catching a fish. So, you can't use a soft
bait and reel if in fast to loose the bait if a bailiff asks.

If a bailiff wanted to check, then you would have to reel the rod in.
