12-15 and thats consolidating :

[b.wedlund]

I start my rod selection at 6.  Finesse/Plastic, Crankbait, Swimbait, Topwater, All-Purpose and Spinnerbait.  If I plan to do a lot of a certain thing, I will add a couple more rods that I like for that.  Somedays I know I am going to be fishing several topwater baits so I bring a couple more rods for that purpose.  Some days I know I won't fish a technique at all and then I don't take a rod for that.  But typically I am bringing 5-7 rods with.

[flippin and pitchin]

Generally five for large mouth and six for small mouth.  If it's March and the water's 52 or less, two, maybe three  rods is all.  "

Two. One to use and one for backup.

See my sig. :

Ten.  Seven baitcasters and 3 spinning.

Unless your fishing tournaments, or perhaps running a bass boat with rod lockers anything more then 4 is a waste, and sometimes, 3 out of 4 sit in the rodholders.

A friend I wish with is a tournament angler, and I've seen 4 to 6 rods on his boat, and that dude can put fish in the livewell, staright up.

10-20 depending on the time of year.

[zero limit]

From shore-3

[LAO162]

For an average 3 hour stay at the pond (5-6 rods):

2-4 on the bank

2-4 in the car (not far from the bank)

3-4 left at home

a couple in the I no longer need these pile

I have more than I need, but it's fun

4, I fish in a kayak and more than that just get in the way. Usually not the same 4, it is based on where I am fishing and what baits I am throwing.

[eyedabassman]

26,but I guide and tournament fish!

[fishfordollars]

8 on the deck

6-8 in the box

I hate wasting time tying a lure on. Just grab another rod.

I've found that having any more than three in the 'yak at any given time just cuases more aggravation than anything else.

I'm in the collecting stage. I'm at 6 casting 2 spinning, eventually I'd like to have 7 casting 3 spinning. But most likely would never take all ten to a tournament as a non-boater. Before the tournament I talk to the boater and see what he'll be fishing then i usually TRY to limit my self to 6ish.

When i'm out in my 12 footer ill bring 4 tops

[SoFlaBassAddict]

3, occasionally 4.

[Goose52]

Fishing from the bank I will have 4 in the car and will take two with me - one in my hand and one stuck in my belt behind my back.

Fishing from the canoe - I will have 4, 5 max (don't have any more room!).

[steezy]

4- 6

[htbass]

I don't have a boat unfortunately. When wading, 1 rod, walking the bank 2 rods, as a ride along on another boat, 4 or 5.

[scrutch]

usually 6 on deck (4 casting, 2 spinning)

another 6 in the locker (3 casting 3 spinning, these get used about 20 % of the time as loaners or when I didn't plan to use a specific technique that day.

Oh, and I got room for more!  let's see...where's that flea market link again? ...click!

[ChiCityBasser]

2-3 and I'm fishing from the shore/bank.

One for Cranks and treble hook lures.

One for anything else and both spinning.

One Baitcaster also for anything heavier.
