At least 16 half shimano chronarchs the other half curados. To be honest I have been thinking about selling half of em & downsizing to about 6 setups. Need to do the same with tackle.

I think I’m right at 30 now. 20 casting and 10 spinning. If I go a couple years without using some of my rods/reels I give them to my nephews or my friends kids that are getting into fishing in

I usually take about 5 to the lake, sometimes 4 is enough.

I got back into bass fishing a few years ago. I struggle with wanting to collect rods and reels when I find them at a good price or hear one is better for a certain technique. I have about 8 baitcasting combos and 2 spinning.
The truth is, I mainly use 2 combos per outing, maybe 3. I live a block off a lake and fish frequently, usually for just a few hours at a time. My boat doesn't have good rod storage.
I am trying to be more of a minimalist these days but couldn't pass up the like new Lew's KVD baitcast reel I picked up for $70 at the Bass Pro Outlet in Springfield yesterday on vacation.
It's a struggle.

I have 2 crappie rods, 2 bass rods, one dock shooter, and 2 bream rods each for me and the wife for about 14 on the boat. Another 20 miscellaneous bass and crappie rods in the storage facility, for about 34 and about 20 extra reels. That's not so bad,..I've got more bowling balls than that at home...

I sold off a bunch this past year or so that I didnt use. I'm down to 16 or bait casting and 4 spinning rods. All are G.Loomis except 2 bait casters and 2 spinning. Eventually they'll get swapped out too.

I have five combos. Just ask my wife and she will tell you. Between us, at least 25 at two different houses.

10 good ones. If one breaks I replace if it happens usually one rod about every 3 years. Why do you need more? I’ve leaned keeping it simple is sometimes better.
