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! That's funny! I've never been on enough fish that retying made a difference.

2 crankin' rods. One for big baits one for small baits. Speed clips for quick lure changes. In a pinch I use my spinnerbait rod for crankbaits too.

I have one rod and reel for each:
10XD
8XD
6XD
DD22
Square Bill
Although I don't fish crank baits as much as I do soft plastics.

Y'all are either rich or must win a lot of money in tournaments to dedicate that much money in rigs for cranking any time of the year! Overkill in my opinion and proves advertising pays. I seem to get along just fine with two. 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'  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. My aircraft carrier is called a skeeter! I have 10-12 rods on my deck sometimes during the summer and get around great

I have 10-12 rods on my deck sometimes during the summer and get around great Mine is a ZX225, and I never have 10-12 rods on the front deck, maybe 6, maybe a couple in the back, but that is likely all ( a few spares in the rod box in case of a breakoff, or a reel problem). 6 rods on each side on front doesn't leave a much room to move around.

I own seven or eight crankin' rods and reels. If they're eating cranks really well deep I may have 6 of them on the deck with different deep cranks on them. If they're not eating them well, I still keep one on the deck. Squarebill time I typically only have two. I do a lot of strolling or long-lining this time of year. If the fish are eating really good and I hang up, I'll break off and grab another set-up. That's why the six on the deck. Once you get 'em fired up, you gotta keep 'em fired up. Taking time to re-tie or use a lure knocker sometimes decreases success.

You know I remember when we were all bass fishing with Garcia Ambassadeur 5000"s on mostly
Wright & McGill or Fenwick fiberglass rods. Usually we only had 1 outfit because we didn't
have the money for 2. Then Skyline Graphite came out so everyone saved up to buy a 2nd setup.
I fished for many years with just 2 rods & reels in my boat and caught lots of bass and won
lots of money. What I am saying is you don't have to have a dozen rods scattered all over the
deck to catch fish or win tourneys. You do it because KVD, Ike and such do it. You see the pros
do it so that is the way to do it. Hell half the pros don't even fish their sponsor's lures.
I was fishing with my old time partner not long ago in his boat. I took 4 rods & reals. I looked
in the rod box of his Ranger and counted 29 rods & reels but he fishes with the same 3 or 4 99%
of the time. The others are just for show in case someone looks in his rod box.
I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle
