shakeyhead rod 6' 8" St.Croix LTB M 2500 Symetre FJ

flipping rod 7' 3" St.Croix LTB M/H Curado 200e7
My favorite one is which ever one I'm catching a fish on at the moment.

I have 7 rods, 5 baitcasters and 2 spinning. In the process of adding another baitcaster.
7'6" heavy power rod with braid for frogging and pitching slop.
7' medium heavy with braid that will be for jigging and t-rigging.
Two are 6'6" MH, one for spinnerbaits and such, the other for deep cranks.
6'6" M for shallow cranks and topwater.
6' MH I'll use for walking topwaters like Spooks, also for short-range spinnerbaits.
Spinning setups for shaky heads, wacky Senkos, whatever other light lures I want to use.

[AUFred]

11 Baitcasting combos.
6 Spinning reel combos
7 spincast combos
6 Flyrod set-ups.

This count does not include all the set-ups I bought for my kids which are in storage.

The spincast combos come in handy for loaning because they are pretty much idiot-proof. I like them for catfishing too.

[nofearengineer]

I have:

7 baitcasting rigs
3 spinning rigs
2 catfishing rigs
4 trolling rigs

Just a modest collection. Now Boogie is the guy with the problem.

[wallywallace]

2 spinning for plastics
3 spincasting
5 catfish setups.. yea i looke at boogie with the insurance thread,

[bassboogieman]

In the mess I have on my deck -

Casting:
1 Frog rod (hollow)
2 Jig rods
1 Swim bait (hollow bodied)/buzz frog.
3 Worm/plastics
4 Crankbait
3 Spinnerbait (favorites)

Spinning:
2 medium for finesse/drop shot
1 short MH for skipping baits
2 MH for fishing tubes and swimming plastics

Did I hear someone say "trolling rigs"? Bryce, you taking that Avalance into the salt now? I know, I know, you'll educated me at the Hollow next year.

Does one of your spinning setups have a wave spinning reel on it?

I have about 10 total. Carry about 5 fishing usually. Three baitcasters and two ultralite openface spinning outfits. The three baitcasters with different lures that change before I go onto the water each time to be ready for current conditions and using 40 years of experience ( which sometimes works sometimes not) what I think will work on that day.

I also like to catch Crappie, bluegill on ultralite. Carry two. one for a backup.

Good luck and God bless.

Many of the tournament guys have multiple identical rigs to avoid a lot of retying to change baits. You can get by with three rods for bass fishing:

7' MH/F casting for jigs/plastics and spinnerbaits 1/2oz>
7' MH/Mod for cranks and other trebel hook lures
7' M/F spinning for jigs/plastics <1/2 oz

If you want to get into technique specific rods, you might add:

6'8" ML/XF spinning Drop Shot/ weightless plastics, finesse
7'6" Hvy/F casting flipping, pitching, frogs
6'6" M/F skipping, top water

You could sub-divide these categories and add a few more even.

[MIbasser]

I have 9 casting rigs and 4 spinning rigs that I use on a regular basis. I also have 3-4 casting combo's and 2 spinning combo's that just collect dust.

[Captmikestarrett]

25 crappie rods
8 bass fishing bait casters
20 or so spinning rods for bass
8 surf rods
8 salt water spinning live line outfits
8 trolling rods
10 fly rods
6 ultra light shad/trout spinning rods
oh and 3 LTJ rods that only I get to throw..

[Bubba_Bruiser]

Not 20, but plenty, at least that is what my wife says. I have 10 useable at this time. I have 4 blanks I need to finish and I will bump it up from there.

[bcklash]
