Good questions.
Some people can seem to finesse two poles at once, which would be my only reason for a "dead stick" in the holder.
I tend to make a mess out of trying to do that. For me, it's much more peaceful and enjoyable to fish one pole at a time and keep it in my hands so I can focus my attention on what my bait's doing and feel whatever signals are coming back up the braid for me to process.
I will "dead stick" two poles in holders if I'm trout fishing. I don't care about that. I can make coffee on my camp stove or fiddle or something else while I'm waiting.
"Dead Sticking" sounds a little weird on this Valentine's Day weekend.
