one, a MH 7'.
anything else is just for convenience and time saving. truth is we'd probably all be better if we just had 1 rod and really worked a particular lure hard before cutting it off and trying something else.
now, to quote Troy Aikman: "having said that", I have 8 in my boat with a different lure on each...

I keep about a dozen in the boat, but how many are on the deck depends on the season. During the fall I keep 6-7 on the deck all with different types of bait as the fish are usually active and I can figure out fairly quickly what they are on that particular day. During the spring and summer I only keep a few rods on the deck (flipping rod, jig rod, rattletrap rod, jerkbait (depending on temp).

According to my wife one is all you need. When I ask her how many horses can she ride at one time the conversation ends.

My boat holds 25 rods so I'll give you one guess how many I carry. I also carry around 75# of tackle. I counted 84 jigs in my box. I need a a little more weight in the front, boat rides better
