+1 with another 5 or 6 in the rod box.

Rod count on deck can vary with seasons and patterns, however once dialed in on a bite 3 or 4 rods is what I prefer.

2 to 5 rods but I have a small deck. If I had a bigger boat, I'd probably have more out. At 5 or more I'll start stepping on them.

I have 6 on the deck,3 on each side. Any more than that and i step on them

Depends on what time of the day the "Train Wreck" starts. Honestly though, i normally try to keep it to 5 rods!

3 for me usually. My old partner use to tournament fish keeps about 10 on one side and literally rotates thru them
putting each on other side of deck until he catches a fish

Normally, 3 or 4, if on someone elses boat,5 on my boat, unless I have the pattern lcked in, then 3 or 4 again. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

usually no more than 4 and try to keep them on one side. I dont like to straddle them while on trolling motor.

3 or 4. You can only use one at a time

The days you only have 1 are the best.

As many as it takes, from 2 to 10.

8 or so. The number of rods on my deck won't really affect how well I do but it is a sign of how well I'm doing. If that makes sense lol

Depends, but if I'm not on a pattern or fishing a new body of water, I'll have 10-12 on the deck and another could of dozen in the box.

8 always.....I don't use my rod locker while on the water.

What Warren60, and other said. Usually it's 3 bottom contact baits (t-rig, jig/craw, dropshot), spinner/chatterbait, crankbait/topwater, soft swimbait (Keitech, Rage swimmer, etc.). Six more in the rod box if needed.
