Somewhere along the way, I’ve collected a dedicated rod/reel for every technique I *MAY* ever use and I keep them rigged with said technique. I’m probably approaching 20 rods and it’s becoming s tangled mess. So how many do you keep in your boat? What’s your system to make sure you’re covered with most presentations that may come up? Let’s hear it.

How many rods do you need in the boat? The answer to this is how many I can get in the rod box and on the deck,then I usually use 1 all day.

I thought a minimum of 32 rods on the deck were required to be considered a pro.

I use the following formula:
# of rods = hours you will fish shallow + hours you will fish deep + 2 topwater rods (multiplied by vegetation factor)
