Texasfishingtips Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 How many rods do you like to carry with you while fishing? Clancy W Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 4 to 6 when in the boat. On shore, I'll have from 3 to 6 in the car, and of those will have 2 with me (one in my hand, one in my belt behind my back) while working the bank. Quote
JigMe Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Usually I will take three rods with me, and depends on condition I'll rig them with different lures. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 I only take 3 rods on the boat. Quote
bass or bass ? Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I take 8 rods on my boat. 3 bait cast, 3 spinning, and 2 fly cast. All different weight/action in each class. And I use them all, not just there for eye candy. Quote
Senkoman12 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 1-2 while shore fishing, 3 while just fishing and 6 during a tournament Quote
Texasfishingtips Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I like 5-7 in the boat. I fish as a co-angler so not as much room. If i'm beating the bank, normaly 1 of my "everything" rods. If I'm using two diffrent techniques (EX- Frogs and Shakeyheads) then ill strap whichever rod I'm not using onto my backpack. Clancy W Quote

I will take 1-3 with me if I am bank fishing. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 I always have at least 20 rods in the boat when I'm fishing. Quote
Hamby Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Small boat and an extremely tight budget means that i carry no more than 4 or 5 rods. 3 baitcasters rigged with something different. 1-2 spinning rods. 1 for skipping, and the other for really small/lightweight stuff. Quote
OHIO Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I shore fish almost exclusively and it's a hassle to carry more than three rods, so I went 1-3. Quote
TBendBassin Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I always have at least 20 rods in the boat when I'm fishing. X2 anwhere between 20-25 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 5's all that will fit. After a boat upgrade it will go up to 8/9. Quote
bwillis Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I usually carry 2-3 with me when shore fishing, which I do a lot more than taking my jon boat out. When I take the boat out, I usually bring 3-6 rods with me. Quote
MNGeorge Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Have space for 8 in the boat...4 for me, 4 for my partner, except my wife who has only 3 rods, then I get 5. If I'm fishing by myself, 6 or 7. Shore fishing is always only 1 rod. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 I usually start each day with 7-8 rods rigged and ready to go, 4-5 BC & 3 Spinning. There's always 4-5 more in the rod locker that are backups. BC's include: Topwater, Crankbait, Spinnerbait, Heavy T-Rig, and Pig-n-Jig. Spinning: Medium/Light T-Rig, Dropshot, Tube/Grub. Quote
jdw174 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I carry 7 BC's and 3 spinning, all in rod lockers. Most of the levelwind outfits could do double duty, but I find it easier to grab another rod than to re-rig one while I'm fishing. The spinning outfits are used for dropshot, shakeyhead, and the last for skipping senkos. Quote
RandySBreth Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Depends. On "the big boat" the rod locker could have 15-18 rods in there, mostly spinning but 4 or 5 casting. In the tandem canoe for pond Bass when I'm lucky to have someone play trolling motor for for me (paddle me around) it's usually 2 fly rod combo's. In the solo canoe it's 4- to 6- one is always a spinnerbait casting rigs, then the other ones come and go as the seasons change. Walking/wading local Smallmouth creeks is usually just my favorite 6-weight fly rod. Hard for me to answer with just one response! Quote
Red Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I have 7 combos total. I can take all of them in my Pelican Raider, but they don't all fit "comfortably." Normally I only bring four, I just choose the four I think I will most likely use depending on season/weather. Of those four I usually only end up using 1 or 2 of them. ;D Quote
Nick Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 My big Gambler 9-12 for a tourney. My river jet 3 As a guest or co-angler 3-4. Quote
lsbass Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 5-6 out of my jon boat (4-5 baitcasting 1-2 spinning) 9 in team tournaments (6-7 baitcasting 2-3 spinning) 6 as co angler (4 baitcasting 2 spinning) Quote
Vinny Chase Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 6-10 in the boat.. Finesse plastics Heavy plastics Drop shot Shallow Crank Deep Crank Jerkbait Spinnerbait/swim jig Topwater Finesse Jig Pitchin/flippin/Deep Jig Quote
CAdeltaLipRipper Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I personally have 6 rods.I have a spinnerbait/crankbait rod,a topwater rod, a spinning set up, a frogging rod, a flippin/pitchin stick, and a jig/everything else rod. We have around 14 to 16 together in the boat Quote
