slice Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I just thought it would be interesting to see some responses to this question. I have 5. :-[ My buddy has 31. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 Used to have 18, now I have 10. Quote
Super User David P Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 I have 5 rods that I take with me, I have 3 or 4 others that I rarely use. I think more important then the number, is the quality. I'd rather have 5 good rods, then 20 ugly sticks ;D (Not saying your buddy has them, just making a general statement) Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 Somewhere between 20-30. Don't keep a count. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 I have 10 that I currently use and another 20 that have been retired over the years. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 7 baitcasters 3 spinning 5 fly I used to have alot more, but have given away, donated, and sold several. Like Brokejw, I figured out I preferred quality over quantity. Quote
The Rooster Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I've been through so many I couldn't possibly count how many I've ever owned. But currently I have 5 I use all the time, 3 spinners and 2 baitcasters.....and one of the spinners is an Ugly Stik Lite Pro ;D. Then there's one more that doesn't have a reel currenly, and one more spinning combo that I never use. When I have a rod that stands around too long unused I tend to give it away or sell it in a yardsale. Mostly give them away though. To friends and family so they can go fishing with me. Quote
The_Natural Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I've got 16 reels and only 12 rods. I don't buy combos per say...I like to mix it up. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 I've got 16 reels and only 12 rods. You need 8 reels more. I need two more reels, only problem is I can 't decide which ones I "need". :-/ Quote

I need two more reels, only problem is I can 't decide which ones I "need". :-/ A little OT, but I'm serious when I said I was going to buy some of the new '09 Citica E series reels...I like the look, stats, and price. Casting should be identical to the Curado, due to it having the same spool and spool support bearings. The Citica has the same 5 bearing setup as my Cores, and they are smooth enough. I'll probably buy 6 when they are released. It's going to be nice not having to worry about scratching them Quote
MNGeorge Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Counting fly rods and Musky rods, over 30 I'm sure. Quote
SawyerOB Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 6 Spinning 4 Baitcasters 4 flyrods no Ugly sticks Quote
ArcticCat500 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 At one time I had 22 hanging in the shed, and reels for each, grant it most of these were my surf rods in which those were custom made. They were made in the early 80's all the way up to the 90's. My fresh water gear too was custom and I still have and fish with those...the others consisted of a couple St Croix UL's, and BPS's. All the reels were Penns, Garcia Ambassadour's,Shimano's a Lews Childre BB-25SS, I loved that reel till it got stolen out of truck... and a couple older Daiwa's thrown in the mix. Quote
hjerk24 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I have 10- 5 Good Baitcasters, and 5 Pleuger Presidents on basically the same rod, but different weight lines, etc.... More than that for me would be hard to justify in the budget. Peace- Jamie Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 When i moved here 3 weeks ago i had 55 rod and reel combos ,Im gonna down size saturday with a yard sale Quote
Pencil Pusher Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 More than I care to count; somewhere north of 100 rods. Quote
Super User flechero Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 The actual number is unimportant... but the answer is "one less than I need!" Ever notice how even when you have enough, you can always think of one more you need? Quote
hawgchaser Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 More than I care to count; somewhere north of 100 rods. Thats amazing..... I have 20-30 but only use 10 or 12. the others stay at the Lake for friends and such. Quote
Aaron Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I have 11, only three of which see regular use. Quote
Bassnajr Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I USE six setups...two spinning and four baitcasters. I tried to match up each set-up with an application. (cranking, jigs, finesse, spinners, etc.) I have a few more that sit on the wall. But the Bait Monkey could grab me at any time to say, buy a reel. And then the reel needs a rod, and...well you see how it goes!!!! ;D ajr Quote
surfer Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 More than I care to count; somewhere north of 100 rods. Wow. Sounds like pencil pushing is a good business to be in. I have 6 rods. My boat is not big enough to cary more than that. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 Let's see, I have 6 bass setups, 4 catfish setups, 1 trout setup, 4 crappie setups, 1 striper setup, so if my math is correct that's 16. Man I would like to know how much coin that is. On second thought, I don't really want to think about it. Quote
