Do you guys bring along for bank fishing? I have 3. A topwater/jerkbait rod, a worm/jig rod, and a multi-purpose rod. My multi-purpose is a vendetta that i really can't find any dedicated use for.. Is this too much for bank fishing? What are ya'll setups?

your mostly bass fishing arent you.. but where ever i go fishing i bring atleast 3 max 5 rods... but thats me

I fish 6-10 rods ........

Yeah tornado, lmb mostly. I enjoy catching whites and hybrids but find bass gear works for them too. Wow 6 to 10 rods is insane DCM. I could never imaging walking the banks with that many rods

I'm usually lmb fishing and have been carrying 2 rods but 3 or more would be better if I had better way to carry and keep up with them while I'm walking the bank and not have to lay them down in the dirt.

Most of my bank fishing is in ponds around my house ... quite a bit of walking as I will usually cover 2 or more ponds in an outing depending on how much time I have.

Any more than two is just too much trouble for me and "my way". Most days I just carry one, but occasionally I will sport a "bassin' rig" and an ultralight for targeting bream/crappie.

2 rods max!

I do the same and I mostly bass fish as well. Usually 2 to 3 setups (2 baitcasters, 1 light spinning) because I move around a lot. Got a tackle backpack to carry tackle around and that makes a huge difference for me. Much easier than carrying rods and a tacklebox...but not dedicated enough to make a whole fishing cart like I've seen others do.

I just use 1 rod with a swivel clip at the end. That way you can change out lures and setup real quick.

Just 2. 1 short ultralight, and a 7' medium action. Those two will catch me just about anything.

he doesnt walk the bank with all those rods. he catfishes.. bring the rods down. cast em out. rod holders.. and wait for a bendy!!!

There is a guy who regularly fishes the ponds near me who has built himself a rod holder/carrier he carries around. Must hold 5 or 6 rigs.

His is made of wood, but this is the closest thing I could find to what he has made.

I only bring 2:

1. Bass Setup - Medium Action 7.5' Castaway w/ Shimano Curado Bantam (40 lb Flouro-Braid)
2. Catfish or Rough Fish Setup - Heavy Action 7' Castaway w/ Abu Garcia Black Max (60 lb Braid)

I try to travel as light as possible.

However, I do keep 2 extra reels in my tacklebox: 2 - H20 Mettles (1 with 10 lb flourocarbon, 1 with 50 lb braid).

All great stuff. Mattg i also have a backpack taklebag. Allows me to carry much more gear. I brought this up because majority of my fishing is done in local ponds. Not a big deal when i can still see my car. But this year i really want to hit up the creeks and local lakes hard and would rather not have to carry so many rods.

I also realize a decent spinning rig is prob better suited for creek fishing. No need to bring out the casting reels.

For stripers and hybrids I bring just one.
That is all I need, but leave one in the car just in case the other one fail.

He ain't walking no banks. He's riding a lawn chair while his shad soaks.

He still has to haul all that chit to the bank anyway. lol. Wagon.

That's me, and it seems like I'll always catch most of my fish on just one of the rods.

Golf bags work great to carry your rods an a lil gear in

+1 for one rod with a clip swivel and small box

4 spinning, 2 med, 2 med/hvy dont have to haul anything just back right up to the water at Braunig.

I always carry 2 and sometimes 3. If I carry a 3rd rig it is when I bring a topwater rig along. I always carry one rig for plastics and one for cranks.

All my tackle is in my light weight backpack.

I normally bring 1 ultralight spinning, 1 medium spinning, and 1 medium heavy casting.

I use three (reference the sig) for my bank fishing. Generally I target carp or buffalo. I have alarms on my rod pod so I can fish 24/7 and still catch some Zzzzs. Longest I've ever continuously fished was 60 hours.
