CSimon2 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I keep between 5-7 rods ready to go in the Jeep. When I am actually out fishing, I take only one or two with me. I fish mostly from shore, so I can easily go back to the car and grab more if needed. Quote
Primus Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I usually take app 12-15 in my boat, it varies depending on time of year and type of lake I'm fishing. I normally have app 20 rod/ reel combos to pick from but usually leave a few behind. Quote
tholmes Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I shore fish almost exclusively and it's a hassle to carry more than three rods, so I went 1-3. Same here. I usually carry 2 b/c rigs and 1 spinning rig. I usually have a couple of rigs stowed in my truck for backup. Tom Quote

bassin is addicting Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 4-5 when as a co-angler 1or 2 when from the bank Quote
Super User senile1 Posted January 24, 2011 Super User Posted January 24, 2011 I have tried to limit the number of rods I carry and right now I take seven. However, I always wish I had more. It's just handier than cutting and retying when I want to switch lures. I suspect there will be more in my future. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted January 24, 2011 Super User Posted January 24, 2011 My boat doesn't have a rod locker and I'm so bad about stepping on them, I will only carry 4 or five of the 2 dozen or so that I have. I choose them based on fishing conditions that I expect. Ronnie Quote
Evans Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 WAY TOO MANY! I usually carry 15+, but my boat is a Blazer 180 so only 1 rod locker. However, the stick jackets have really worked for me to keep them from tangling. I broke a rod 2 years ago trying to get it out of the rod locker, haven't had a problem since I got stick jackets for all of them. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted January 24, 2011 Super User Posted January 24, 2011 I'll generally take four or five rods out of the bunch I have. 1 Frog/Flippin 1 Crank 1 Bottom Contact 1 Pitchin/Bottom Contact 1 Spinning If I know that I'm going to be concentrating on a specific technique, I'll adjust the numbers and the types of rods I'm bringing.

northern basser Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Best case scenario: 5 casting 2 spinning less if boat or # of people is restrictive Quote
Hot Rod Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I pulled into the dock one afternoon with my customary dozen or so rods sprawled on the deck (probably had a few left in the lockers too). A guy standing on the dock said, "Dang, don't you think you have too many rods?" I responded, "I didn't know there was such a thing as 'too many rods'. That'd about be like having too much money wouldn't it?!" Quote
bassinbrian Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 As of this winters new rod purchases ill have 8 if im by myself fishing but less depending on how many the other person in the boat has. I dont have a fancy boat so I dont have room to store any so they all have to lay out some where in the boat. Quote
central.PA.bass Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 probably around 10 when my fiancee is with me.. she usually has 3 or so.. Quote
Ineedanewscreenname20170204 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 4 baitcasters, 2 spinning = 6. That's all I can manage in my boat with no locker. If I'm fishing with a partner I'll scale back a bit to 3 BC, 1 spin to make room. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 26, 2011 Super User Posted January 26, 2011 3 to 6? Come on guys, lets go out and stimulate the economy. I lost count at 30!!! Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 26, 2011 Super User Posted January 26, 2011 17 3/4, on a good day. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 26, 2011 Super User Posted January 26, 2011 3 to 6?Come on guys, lets go out and stimulate the economy. I lost count at 30!!! Sam - the question was: "How many rods do you like to carry with you while fishing?" So, do you tow a "rod barge" behind your boat? ;D Quote
DTack Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 6-10 on deck, may carry more in the boat. As a co-angler I don't go over 5. Quote
KWM Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I got 2, I bank fish so the spining is my shaky pole, and my BC is everything else pole. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 1, 2011 Super User Posted February 1, 2011 3 to 6?Come on guys, lets go out and stimulate the economy. I lost count at 30!!! Sure thing, Sam! Just PM me your credit card info and I'll stimulate away. I've got the itch to buy a few more Dobyns rods. Thanks buddy! Look forward to spending your hard earned money. 8-) Quote
rumbal Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 4-5 baitcasting and 1 spinning in the boat. 1 rod - shore fishing. Quote
