How many setups do you own?

[padlin]

As a takeoff on the “how many rods, and what’s on them” thread, I’d be interested in knowing how many some of you own. I think I have 12, 4 of which are saltwater, oh ya, and 3 fly, so 15 total. And my wife busts my chops when I buy another. I get the feeling she figures 1 is all I should need.

27...........

[Fishingmickey]

I plead the 5th, 6th and 7th. Including saltwater over 60. The bait monkey has me on speed dial.

I own 6. Had more, a lot broke and sold some to upgrade to better gear.

@Fishingmickey I'm with this guy !

While I rehomed much of my saltwater gear after the move up here to sweet water. I kept many rigs for nostalgic reason.

As for bass gear, isn't there some type of unwritten rule that a man should never actually count them.

If there ain't,  there sure otta be . .

Big picture, I've decided to switch out every split grip stick I have in favor of full cork, my true favorite.  I am about 35% into it and it's  going well. Some bassheads are going to get several smoking deals on quality rods this coming hard water season.

The obsession never stops.

16 on the boat, 6 usually on deck while fishing and only 1 required to trip over.

[MN Fisher]

13 casting rigs, 3 spinning bass rigs, 4 spinning panfish rigs - so 20 total. If I'm out on Bass Trek, I usually start the day with 6 rigged up and on the deck...adding as the day progresses. Shore fishing it's 3-4 with me.

I'm a keeping an eye out - much prefer split-grips to full cork....ya, I'm weird that way.

[T-Billy]

I honestly don't know. 70 ish rods. 50 ish reels. Another new muskie rod will be here tomorrow.

mostly enough.................mostly

[J._Bricker]

On the advice of my lawyer and after lengthy consultations with the bait monkey, who’s counsel was I can only fish one rod at a time, I am going to plead the fifth.

One rod to many, but 1,000 short of being enough.

[Wprich]

25 total 13 spinning, 6 casting, 6 fly some of the spinning only get used on the few salt trips I take, used as backups, or are for panfishing.

[Mike L]

12 combos, 3 rods and 6 reels who haven’t been married yet. 
All bait casting 

 

2 spinning setups 

1 for the youngest kids only and 1 saltwater.

No sir, I ain’t gonna do it. Some things are better left alone.

[gim]

10 dedicated bass setups, 3 walleye setups, and 2 muskie combos. Total of 15.

 

I am at the point where I only buy rods or reels when one breaks now.

[MIbassyaker]

I had to count them just now:  30.

 

Even 10 years ago, I would have been incredulous if you told me I'd ever own that many rods at once.  I do need to get rid of a few older, lower-end rods I never use anymore. Probably just garage sale them.

 

As far as bass gear goes, I have no plans to get anything new at this point until something breaks.

 

But I'm brooding over whether to get something specific for steelhead -- now that's another bottomless rabbit-hole all its own....

[NorthernBasser]

More than I need yet still not enough. I haven't even dabbled in BFS yet. Planned on it this year but may have to wait until spring. 

[Backroad Angler]

9 Baitcasting set ups, 5 spinning set ups and 1 fly fishing set up. Working on cutting down though.

 

[papajoe222]

This is an easy one.

Only counting bassin' combos, 15.

I also own another 16 rods that get limited use, so I just swap out reels when I do use them.

 Please don't ask about crankbaits and if you get around to soft plastics, I'd have to answer in pounds, not packages.

Primarily looking for a good frog rod - still using my Aird-X 7'0" H/F for that application.

[GreenPig]

Bass - 63 I think

Pan fish - 4

Catfish - 6
