Just curious this topic was discussed on another website and got a lot of response. How many rod setups do you guys carry on the boat with you during the spring thru fall season. And what you have tied on them most of the time.

 

[River Pro]

way way way too many!! I've usually got at least 8 or 9 rigged and ready to go with different lures, line sizes, etc.

 

[snoot]

usually 4 to 5 if i'm not on anything. if i know what the fish are doing sometimes just one or two....i like those days!

 

[otis44]

I'll keep 4-5 strapped down on the deck and another couple or so tucked away in the rod box. If I had the capacity for more (better) rod storage I might take another rod or two.

 

[FISHMAN#4]

It depends on what lake i am going to

but on a rule 8-10 rods I like to have different lures

tied on to find out what the fish are hiting.

But in the winter i only have 3 or 4 one for

silver buddie one fot jiging spoon one for tight lineing

a fly an a FnF rig

 

[snoot]

10 most of the year... Night fishin' I try to cut back to 5 or 6 to keep from tangling up and winter time I do the same since I use less techniques..

 

[snoot]

I also keep several with me. I don't have the boat space to keep that many, but I try to have some variety, depending on what the fish are wanting. Like Postalbass, It's better when you know what the fish are wanting, then you can take a couple of rods. I usually have 4 during the winter.

My boat is a liitle different than most. I "usually" have 2. Have been known to take 9 in my kayak on a trout trip. The next float I will have 5-6. New toys to try out..

 

[Countryboy]

if I am fishing a TX any where from 10 to 12 if it is not a TX 6 to 8. I have a couple with jigs, a few with cranks, spinnerbait, t-rig,c-rig,tube jig

 

[Whopper]

All depends, in my boat I generally have four or five rigged up and ready to go. In buddy's Lake Erie boat depending on how many people (usually four) we have on board there can be as many as twenty rods rigged and ready. If we're trolling for walleye we'll run two rods a man, that's a eight rod spread

talk about a chinese fire drill, get's pretty funny sometimes when we run a school and get two or three hook ups at one time.

Now a few times I have purposely left all the rods and extra tackle except for one rod and a few baits out of my boat so as not to not be distracted into fishing for something else, this usually happens when I hunt for muskies.



Cheers

2 Poles thats a good one. If you do bring 2 poles you make up for the 9 with tackle

 

[snoot]

way to many, somewhere between 25 and 30

 

[basshunter360]

Usually take 2 rods with me.

 

[Bubba]

Geez, You guys need to let me take some of these rods off your hands. I've now got 3 descent bass fishing rods, and my FnF rod....so needless to say, I need a few more.

 

[TFO]

it was five but today I picked up another one so now its six

 

[worm]

10 to 12 if I am C rigging I might have 4 rigged the same so if I break off I can change out and pick up one and keep fishing same way when worm fishing if not, spinnerbait, crankbait deep mid, shallow, worm, drop shoot, C-rig, pop-R, fluke.

how many can you fish with at one time,





I have fished with 8 at one time.

 

[Bad Habit]

1 night worm rod with microfuse braid

1 day worm with green braid

2 heavy spinnerbait/jig rods

1 dedicated (longer) crankbait rod

1 light rod for 1/8 oz bass jigs

2 other various crank/jigging rods

1 spinning rod with 8 lb. line

1 FNF rod

1 2 oz Allstar rod with 20 lb line (flipping/musky)



All are casting reels except for the FNF and (obviously) the spinning reel. Most casting rods have 12 or 15 lb. fluorocarbon line
