If I'm bushwhacking 2 max, general shore fishing where I can get to my car, 4-5, 2 spin, 2 cast and an unltra light... boat...as many as I can ;)

Today I was shore fishing and some spots were really tight. I had a 6'3" spinning rod with 6lb test and a 6ft casting rod with YZ hybrid 15lb test that I use for cranks and spinnerbaits. I wish I brought my 7 foot casting rod to throw some heavy jigs in the current and pools. Runoff is still a bear here.

Not one stinking smalljaw today or yesterday, it's unusually hot right now...one small largemouth though. ;D

Enough to get the job done!

5 ;)

I generally carry five as well; 4 casting and one spinning, although I will carry up to 8 if I'm a non-boater and have no idea what kind of water we will be fishing.

2.

1 spinning and 1 baitcasting.

I fish from the shore and the bass don't seem to mind that I don't have 186 rods and reels. ;)

Everyone looks way to much into this!

I need 83 rods and reels to catch a fish that is dumber than a boxs of rox?  

Give me a Zebco 33 and the "Garbage rod" it came on and I will show you some bass!  :)

Usually on the boat I'll have about 6 baitcasting setups and two spinning rigs  -everything from Berkley stuff to American Rodsmith to Kistler stuff-  though most often, the less expensive stuff I have around as an 'alternate color' setup, like if the fish don't like the primary color crankbait I have on my main cranking stick.

Carrying more rods helps to keep me from having to re-tie as often, but having too many rods on the boat can be cumbersome.

I installed vertical rod holders on my boat, too. It lasted one trip.  One encounter with a cypress tree cured that problem.

I hear ya, Micro

Other than being mindful of my back cast on that side - I haven't had any problems. This is a better option than sitting on them all which is what started the rod holder build in the first place.

I also use vertical holder on my Tracker, just have to be paying attention at all time, but they are convenientes and spare me some room for more combos  ;)
