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.

I got 14 in my rod locker...I figure if I get 326 more, I'll be set!

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)
