All ya need is a cane pole and a minner.....

Weak. I have more Crankbait rods for Falcon then that.
Purchasing orange and white rods is no way to start a collection off. I really hope that was a joke or he's your buddy?
The day after catching a lot of fish is still a good day.

I only have a handful, but I don't fish competitively--just a church tourney--which is just for bragging rights. There are a few techniques that I enjoy. I have those things ready to go on tournament day, and I hunt for locations where those techniques ought to work. I have a few rods that are technique specific that are ready to go in the rod box in case I have to do something differently than what I set out to do. I guess if I had a boat that was large enough to handle 10 rods and me stumbling around on the deck...maybe.

My wife uses LH baitcasters just like me, and so I HAVE to have at least 6 extra at all times if she goes fishing with me.
I think I've got 15 baitcasters that could be in the rotation (usually just 14 though, I haven't used my late uncle's Calcutta 51 in years though I just re-did the internals).
So in total 15 working baitcasters, 17 baitcasting rods, 8 spinning rods, and 5 spinning reels.
all my stuff is either mid or upper mid grade though, especially on my rods though (save for the Cumulus and Zillion Type R combo).
I'm usually either bass fishing or doing something with my ultralites (love me some ultralite fishing with my lighter spinning gear).

I'm just OCD about never wanting to be in a situation where I don't have the right rod and reel with the right line for something I figure out the fish are biting. x2.. I normally have 12-14 in the boat plus two spinning rods

I am actually scared to go out to my storage unit and count how many rods and reels that I don't use anymore. I have 6 combos that I use on a regular basis but can't seem to part with the others. I can't recall why in the hell I bought ALL those 5 1/2 to 6ft.pistol grip rods! I haven't used one in ten years.

Switching hands is redundant. After your throw a baseball do you put your glove on your throwing hand? Do like me. I taught myself to cast with my left hand, and reel with my right. Never have to switch.

So the big question........ Do you think the fish know how many rods you have strapped down on your boat? "Hey Wally, don't bite that worm he only has 6 rods, let's wait for the guys with 10+ to come by"

Not bad, hopefully they'll do well this weekend for you. If you don't mind me asking, why is one of your baitcasters left handed? i knew somebody would catch that i almost pulled it to the side to take the pic it was my first baitcaster.. :\ really didnt think to much about it when i bought it kinda makes it awkward swithcing back and forth which model is that lefty? I'm a lefty

I only have 6 and really only need mabey one more, a giant swimbait slash bama rig rod... but I was thinking about gett'n a scrape rod so that I could throw the big swimmers and punch with it... I can't stand to have a gillion rods on deck 6 is about the max I like...
ps I have a left handed reel for flipping, way more efficient when you don't have to switch hands... bought it on purpose and love it
