How Many Fishing Rods Do You Own????
 

Some people own so many fishing rods (Joe) that I just can't fathom...(no pun intended) owning so many rods!!! So I am wondering, how many fishing rods do you guys personally own and do you use them all????:huh: :think:

Sorry...I forgot to start....I own 10 rods....2 conventional....8 spinning, and mostly I only use four of them. I just arranged to have a new one made and I am having another one done also.

between surf , boat , fly , fresh . then there is the ice gear .

but I still need a few more . can never have too many .

Who knows ???????? Too many to count since they are strategicly located all over the place to conceal them form "enemy observation". Hope to add more this weekend :D Can't get rid of any, the kids will need them someday

Only have about 4 top of the line rigs and I use them all.

1 conv surf
1 spinning surf
4 8 foot all purpose spin
4 flyrods
9 boat rods

too many :D

Even after thinning the forest by selling off quite a few trees when my first marriage broke up, I still have over 20 surf and light tackle rods.

4 surf spin (one broken) (2 st croix, one lami, one custom that I dont sue much)
1 surf conv st cro.
1 Fluke conv shimano
1 travel rod (spin) ? I forget
1 Blackfish rod (conv) Penn Slammer
1 light spin rod for shad and schoolies in april Pfluger
1 ultra light for big bluefish (bloo fahkers on 4lb trout gear is the best light tackle action around.. bonito shomitos... give me 10lbs of pissed off blue on a 5ft trout rod... I forget the brand.. I blow at least one small reel up every year.. so I buy the ones that cost about 15 at wally's place

These are the ones I use regularly.. There are a bunch of misc. gear I dont use anymore.. maybe 3 or so spin rods between 6-7 feet I dont have a use for. Also 2 fly rods, and a few I'm forgeting

Plus I am building at least one new stick this year, and may sell one of my close to new surf spins to pay for blank etc... it aint easy fishin and beein a broke as professional student
:D :smash:

good post bigfish.. brings out the gear heads :D

One 9 ft silstar combo set for chunking.
one daiwa seanealax with 405 baitrunner for eeling and plugging

one south bend surf/pier combo set (it sucks and the reel is shot. i hope to repair it and rewrap it for fun)

one freshwater quantam combo set (can be used for flounder and fluke and bluefish, havent tested yet)

one 7 ft stilstar rod for boat light tackle

and one shakespeare 7 piece 6'6 rod combo set

46 rods!! I really don't use all of them. Alot of them are rods I had store bought over the years. Then I learned how to build my own and built some rods for different types of fishing I do.
3 surf rod
4 fluke rods
3 chunk rods
3 bass rods
4 general purpose
2 spining rods for top water from the boat
1 eletric Cod rod
These get most of the use were the rest sit on the basement celing, I am going to have to thin some out over the winter.
