That's what I'm thinking. Lol. I have one cranking rod. And I double one of my jig rods as a deep cranking rod when needed.

Can't tell if you're trolling or just an ignorant comment? I use four now and looking to add a couple more. I can't say I'm very rich or win a lot of money in tournaments. I have a job, does that count? If you think that is overkill then your opinion is in the minority. Also that doesn't prove anything about advertising (that's foolish) if a fisherman who knows how to fish a certain technique, and uses the proper equipment, only trial and error, and time on the water, are the factors that dictate rod count(again not advertising). If you get along fine with two, more power to ya, but you sure won't be catching more than the guys that have four or five. Thanks for playin' popcorn

Not trolling lol...just my .02

So if lip jerk has 10 rods and KVD only has one.. Lipjerk will surely beat him every stinking time! That's good stuff right there!

I was just trying to figure our what kind of aircraft carrier you were fishing from, 5 cranking rods, got to have a jig rod, a C rig rod, a swim bait rod, a drop shot rod, shaky head, T rig, and a top water and frog rod. I wouldn't be able to move around.

Yes, please call him and set it up, tell him to bet what he wants to win, I'm all over it bolt having more rods means less time retying, more casts, more fish, mo money!

At my age, I have decided I no longer want to crank away all day. So, I gave about 200 crank baits to my Freshman grandson and he is going to be selling them on e-bay. I kept my chuggers and that's about all.

In my boat, at least 4, in someone else's boat, at least 2, if not 3 if the CB bite is on. Of the at least 4, Deep diver, mid diver, shallow diver, squarebill (which I have been using since 2000) and a general all purpose that can handle any of them, if it is spring, then a trap rod or 2 trap rods, too. In someone else's boat, 2 deep diver and shallow diver. No, not that rich and I have not bought into the hype of fishing CBs. I JUST FISH CBs a LOT, 100% of the trips, even have 5 published articles on fishing them. SO, I LIKE CBs a whole LOT!!!!!. LOL. Hope this helps.

Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
