How many fishing rods do you have???

[tacklerunner]

I have 10 and don't own a boat; and I "NEED" another one. :rolleye2: And I actually use them all.

When is too much too much? :confused:

[ice]

I have 6.
2 Special for the summer.
2 Special for on the ice.
I have none for fly fishing, Never been Taught,
And 2 of each for anyone else i bring along that dosent own one themselves.
And as for reels. I have no idea.
Just a ton around the garage,
Some Work. Some Dont.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: There is no such thing as to much:lol: 4 fly rods, 2 baitcasters and 4 spinning rods. One for every reason....:evilgrin:

[Hannie]

13 spin/bait rods 3 fly rods and a couple ice rods.

I typically use only 2 spin/bait rods an 8'6 shimano for sturgeon and a 6'6 spinning for messing around on the river...the others a re a mix of Loomis bouncing and rigging/jigging lake rods....5wt sage is the goto fly rod.


I'm sure I could narrow it down to 3 rods and be fine 99% of the time...but that would take the fun out of the bi yearly arguments with the misses.

[jimbo79]

I lost count of how many I own... I have some that are missing pieces, but they make for good parts. I seem to buy a new one every year! I like having 2-3 on hand during any trip.

[Rockymtnx]

4 spinning
1 fly
11 various ice rods

[Albertadiver]

I have one spin casting rod.

Does 1x2 wood sticks wrapped in line for ice fishing count as rod? Cause in that case, I have about 6 of them! :lol:

2 Med ice rods
1 MH ice rod
A couple 6' spin rods always in boat for backup and for visitors.

The wife has a rod too, some no name push button reel that she like cause she cant use a spin reel lol.

How many rods do I own? That's like asking a farmer how many horses or cows he has. :lol: Not something that I would even tell my closest friend.

Besides, one time my wife asked me that very same question. So I asked her how many pair of shoes did she own. :evilgrin: End of conversation and the subject has never ever came up again. :D

Fish on,
Rob

[DarkAisling]

3 fly rods
3 spinning rods
3 tips ups
1 Marmish (never used)
Around a dozen ice rods (which are "mine" but are used by everyone in my family).

Additionally, there are another five rods in the house that are not mine, though I think I purchased all but one of them.

[WayneChristie]

cant tell you cause my missus reads this too :evilgrin: I think Im worse than DA on this occasion. I also have a habit of buying most of the ones I find at garage sales, the older the better , I want to have a wall of old rods one day. Plus I never throw out a broken rod, parts are always handy. :evilgrin:

Missed your query first time around.

"Too much" is when you can no longer store them neatly and keep them organized.

[Fishfinder]

4 summer rods
1 winter
3 old summer rods that need some work

Elkwater from a paddle boat:lol::lol:)

[nicemustang]

Well if we're counting tip-ups....have 3 of those as well.

I guess I need another one or two as well. Took out the summer rods from the shed and "someone" broke my slip bobbing rod. I have one to swap but maybe time to get another rod, maybe a shimano voltaeus so I don't break them anymore.

[buckmasterjr]

1 marmish
9 spinning
1 baitcaster
6 ice rods(lost one down the hole at Gull).

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

.When is too much too much? :confused:
you can never have to much , Like I keep telling myself its an investment . Hell I even have my more expensive gear insured . I dont wanna brag but I sat down when I approched the insurance and for 6 tackle boxes full of gear 3 tackle bags , all my rods , and electronics , Its valued at 11,691 dollars .

[tacklerunner]

I believe it! It's an addiction like gambling. One you start counting it gets scary. But the payoff is much greater in fishing.

I once sat down and tried calculating how much I've spent on beer in my life time. I wish it was only $12,000. :o:o:):o:o
