Title: how many fishing rods do u have???
Post by: stlucio on March 31, 2009, 10:19:08 PM
hello everyone! I'm new here and i hope I'm not repeating other guy's topic
i was just wondering the # of fishing rods u guys got.
i have two rods for salmon, two light rods for trout and
those two Asian carbon cane-pole fishing rods.
(I'm not bragging or anything, i don't get to fish much and
i personally think have too many rods... that's all)
no, I'm not a flyfisher yet, i hope to become one sometime soon.
thanks for checking out my post.
by the way everyone, happy new fishing year!!!  ;)

Five fly rods and about  ten gear rods. I think more about getting decent spay rod for the Vedder.

Lots, deep down I'm really a tackle-tart and, also a British match angler so plenty of rods and poles for fishing all kinds of waters.
Not to mention I also have rods for fly fishing, sea fishing (shore and boat), travel rods, barbel, pike, carp and specialist rods to mention a few. 
As I told the wife, you can't play a round of golf with only one club!!!

I am  going to print this post. My wife seems to think a couple rods is good enough! I keep telling her I want more.

Maybe this post will convince her that more is better!   ;D

Two 6-weights
Two 8-weights

Gear rods:

3 drift rods (for level wind reels)
1 bar fishing rod
2 spinning rods
2 telescopic (carp) rods (I have to start using them more...)

A total of 15...not bad.

A few.
1 - four weight
2 - five weights

1 - eight weight
1 - eight/nine weight speyrod
1 - coho/steelhead baitcaster

For a total of 12 rods.  I have a few more in mind to buy over the next couple of years, including a short (7'6" or so) 3 wt for fishing small streams, and a 6-7wt speyrod for drylining smaller rivers for steelhead and bulls.

Great question !!! Let's see ... 2 Army Navy specials ...complete reel & rod casting set up...for catching "very small fish" ...( a 15" er on feels like a 30 lber) ----------------------- 6 trolling ---- & another 6 good quality casting rods ---- fly rod never replaced after 20-22 in rainbow snapped it. ------------------ ( & one Arima boat to fish all these rods off of.... noticed ARIMA BOATS have advertised on FWR... Right on !!!) ---------- Mind U I'm rather funny when it comes to fishing as I've got my "favourite or feel good rods"...so alot of them DO NOT GET USED....EVER.........  TOTAL RODS at least 14. ------ Low number from what you guys own.  -------------( fishing tackle store owners must be happy with our answers )

I think my dear wife should read this thread so she knows my 20 something rods are just small change here.  ;D ;D The tackle people also love this kind of thread.  ;D

Anyway, I have most of them fish covered - sturgeon rods, one-piece halibut rod, bar rods, center-pin rods, bait casting rods, bottom fishing jig rods, troll rods, mooching, and a few fly rods from 6 wt to 9 wt, and for light spinning for the smallest of fish for stocked trouts, crappies, perches, herring including some super light Asian hand rods (no reels needed) for close shore fishing.

Hey V,

I've got a factory made 9" 9 wt. Sage RPLXi, with tube, used less than a handful of times, none by me.  Bought from a retired guy in Florida as a backup...don't really need a backup of that high a quality so if you're interested email me.
