Super User FishTank Posted January 12, 2022 Super User Posted January 12, 2022 I have way more than I need. When comes to what I actually fish, I take 2 rods in the kayak, 5-6 on the boat and sometimes only one when I bank fish. I can't fish all of what I have on the same day but I wish I could. On a side note, the last time I was out on the water (2 weeks ago), I ran into a guy that was fishing by himself and had at least 15 setups in a small aluminum boat. They were just scattered around the boat in no order at all. Each rod was actually for a different technique. Quote

Mostly only use 3...unweighted 10" ribbontail, spinnerbait and either an F11 Rapala or a 3/8 oz. squarebill. Number of rods taken for fishing from shore locally depends on whether or not the wife rides along. Yes...4-5, no...8-10. BUT I can't remember the last time I used all the rods I took with me. Each are pre-rigged, but I find myself only using 2-3 techniques. I'd like to be like the guy you saw with 15 setups, but I no longer have a way to transport my Porta-Bote. Of course I couldn't guarantee that I'd use all 15. Probably still be sticking to those 2-3 techniques. Quote

Sad thing was he had about $5000 worth of electronics on it as well and neither one of us caught a single bass that day. Some days it doesn't matter how much gear you have, the fish may not be biting. Quote
