I've looked in the Kentucky Fishing and boating guide but can't seem to find any mention of how many rods you are allowed to fish at one time.

I like to set out a bait rig and then spend my time casting a variety of lures while waiting for a bite. Some States have 1, 2 or more, rod limits but I can't seem to find any mention of this in the regulations here.

Can anyone point me to the law/regulation?

That one gets buried in the regs sometimes. I usually double-check state wildlife websites or just call to be sure. Better to know for sure than guess on the limits.
 
Kentucky lets you fish with more than one rod unless the specific water says otherwise. I usually have two catfish rods out on Kentucky Lake and cast a white Rooster Tail not far off.
