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????   |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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 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. |

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.

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

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.
