I'm curious.

On a average day on the water, how many rod and reel set ups do you take with you and what are they?. This question is for both boaters and land pounders.

BOAT RIGS,
When I take the boat out on a normal fishing day, not tournament, I take five rigs.
3 bait casters- 1 7' MH rod with reel spooled with 30 lb braid. 1 6'6" Medium rod, reel spooled with 15 /30lb. braid. 1- 7' MH rod spooled with
50 lb braid or once in a while same rod with reel spooled with 12/14 lb. Mono.
2 Spinning rigs. 1 7' Med rod- reel spooled with 8lb. mono or 20lb braid. 1 6' 6" med rod- reel spooled with 6 lb mono or 15 lb stealth braid. I've been leaning more and more to braid with spinning gear because of the waters I fish. Lots of rocks. This is where I'd like to love floro, but just can't.

LAND POUNDING RIGS
On days with marginal weather or being short on time, I will grab a few rods and head down to the river. We have a awesome dam about a block from my house. Most always I'll bring along spinning gear and jigs. Floating jig set ups, tipped with various plastics are the ticket here.
I'll usually take two 7' med rods. Both reels will have 20/30 lb braid with floro leaders, This is a must because of the current and rocks. Fishing the dams on foot usually produces good smallies, but quite a few Walleye can be had for good dinners.

I have fished tournaments in the past. Didn't do any this year since getting and fighting cancer. I've kept it to, if I feel like fishing today, MOST OF THE TIME, I will. If I have a rough day, I'll take it easy.
I hope to get back into tournaments next season. When tournament fishing I'll usually take about 6-8 rigs. I could fish the tourneys with my usual 5 rigs and do fine. I tend to bring more gear than I'll need for peace of mind.
I'll be interested to hear how you guys gear up.
