Two!

Sometimes 1, sometimes 4....most of the time 2.

At least 4! 2 for me and 2 for the wife. Two are set up for trolling and 2 set up for fast cast if we run into sand bass schooling or decide to do a little Crappie fishing. When the grand-kids go we add a couple of more.

2 for me 2 for she and a spare

8-10ish, 2 ea crappie rods per person, 2 each white bass rods per person, and a couple trolling rods

This!!

2, 1 for back up. Break a rod and you will learn this lesson.

2 for bank fishing.
2-3 if in someone elses boat
4-5 if in my boat.

That's just for Crappie though. I always have Bass and Sandbass rods in the boat as well.

As many as the situation calls for.

You dock shoot with 1 rod but spider rig with as many as possible.

I usually use three.
