No wonder I am broke:
I was looking at my fishing gear and I count:

12 baitcasting outfits
6 spinning reel outfits
5 spincast outfits
6 flyfishing outfits

Just about. I have taken as many as 5 baitcasters & 1 spinning outfit with me at once. The spincasters are mostly for loaning or catfishing.

Bassboss · 10-19-09, 05:13 PM

Wow! What do you use them all for!?!? IMO you need no more than 5 or 6.

I'd be very happy to take a few off your hands free of charge.... considerate a help for me to do it -- Me doing something help full for, for free! How can you not take me up on that.... it's frreee! Man.... I am SUCH a good person!

How a lot of it has happened is just upgrading to newer technology. Better quality reels & rods over the years.

Basscrazie · 10-19-09, 08:12 PM

I fish with 6 baitcasters and 2 spinning reels on the deck..I will use all in the day atleast once.I hat to retie while i am fishing.

AUFred · 10-19-09, 08:15 PM

i hate to re-tie anymore than necessary

Basscrazie · 10-19-09, 08:23 PM

I need another flippin and a drop shot rod and i will be good..You never have to much tackle,believe me.

AUFred · 10-19-09, 08:37 PM

I am reaching the point of diminishing returns on adding more gear

Abbeysdad · 10-23-09, 10:20 AM

If you wanna retire some of that 'old technology', I will take it off your hands. Oh it'll be a sacrifice knowing I'm using antiques, but anything fer my new BFF!

LOL

I think someone might be interested in purchasing some original Team Diawa reels.

fishin spro · 10-23-09, 10:49 AM

you can never have to many. right now i have 6 casting rods, 2 spinning.

also have 1 or 2 more spinning in the shed, but they never come out anymore.

AUFred · 03-04-10, 10:37 AM

I was looking over my gear the other night again. I wiped dust off several of them. Only re-spooled the ones I am most likely to use soon. I probably need to re-spool any of the others before dragging them out. Some probably have not seen the water in 5 years.

Cavs1123 · 03-04-10, 11:03 AM

WOW! I have 1 baitcast and 1 spinning! I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!

Some of my rigs are over 30 years old.

nova385 · 03-04-10, 12:01 PM

After yesterdays BPS trip, I'am up to 15 baitcast and 3 spiner rigs. I just started bass fishing last May. I think Iam good on rods and reels now.

Well, nobody NEEDS more. But it's definitely a good thing to have.

bassinbob · 03-04-10, 04:38 PM

Jigs, shallow-medium-deep cranks, frogs, flipping, drop shot, swimbaits, worm, spinnerbaits, topwater. Covered...don't think I missed anything.

Don't forget jerkbaits, shaky head, c-rig and you need at least two set-us for t-rigs!

screwballl · 03-05-10, 12:41 AM

hmm lets see I have 7 or 8 usable setups here... mostly spinning reels and a few spincast... and the whole lot probably cost less than one of your high dollar rod/reel setups

aikenyounggun · 03-05-10, 11:30 AM

our garage is a disaster zone. Try to explain to the kids at school why your dad and you have at least 15 rods. "why do you need all of those? its just luck" *punch* . works every time, haha.

I have seen big fish caught on Zebco set-ups. I think the equipment varies depending on the perspective one has. I think my grandfather probably had a dozen of the cheapest zebco outfits made. When one broke he was not out much. My other grandfather never fished with anything except a Mitchell 300 & an Eagle Claw rod. He never fished for bass but with one when it wore out he would buy 1 more.
