How many rods do you have rigged up on your boat for an average day of fishing? Out of all the rods you have setup, what rigs do you find yourself using the most?

Just a couple questions I was asking myself today, and want to see what most people say.

Great question, I usually have around 11 rigged up. 1 med/hvy unrigged. I use my spinnerbait and rattletrap during the spring the most. I always have a senko and a flippin stick on the deck.

Way too many, maybe 16. I typically use 3 to maybe 6 on a trip. The more I use is a good indicator my day was tougher.

1. Heavy worming

2. Crank Bait

3. Jigging

4. C-rig

5. Topwater

6. Spinner bait

Here's what I carry:
1. worm/jig rod
2. spinnerbait
3. soft plastics
that's all I need. I carry about 2 of each rod so that I can fish with different rigs at the same time, and don't have to keep retying my line.

Depends on how dialed in on the fish. If your PRE FISHING, then the more the merrier! On tournament day, I like to keep it simple and keep it down to 4-5 at most.

CRANKIN
T-RIG
JIG
Topwater
Finesse

Good question, probably too many
1.Frog rod (seasonal)
2.Tx rig
3.Swim bait
4.Spinner
5. Crank
6.Wacky on spinning rod
7.Shakey head on spinning
8.Carolina rig
line up may change from time to time but this is pretty much my starting line up.

As many as the guy that owns the boat will let me bring.

Usually 2 spinning and 3 baitcasters.

+1 on alot when pre fishing. but come tournament day... the less rods i have on deck the better.

This year i think alomost every fish i have weighed in tournaments has either come on a tube, a crankbait of some sort, or a jig. I like to keep things as simple as possible so i dont beat myself.

From March till November I will have 12 rods in the boat (7 on deck). I usually end up using a topwater in the morning and then swithcing to a T-rig, Fluke, and Wacky rig later in the day. But I will always have a crank, lipless, hard jerkbait, and spinner bait handy.

In the winter months I will usually have 5 rods in the boat and most of them are T-rigs.

I usually have 5-7 on the deck and another 5-7 in the rod box rigged up and ready to go. If all goes well though, I'll only use 3-4 rods and they'll all be jigs or plastics.....if I can't get that shallow water heavy cover bite going I'll try a carolina rig, rattle trap, spinnerbait, swimbait, or chatterbait....but I usually live and die with the jig/big plastic.

I took 11 rods with me to Rayburn last weekend. The most I ever had out on the deck was 7.

I normally carry 12 to 15 in the boat..may have as many as 7 or 8 on the deck when pre fishing...like to keep it 5 or less during a tourney...I keep so many because retying for a differnt set up is time I could be fishing...
