| I was looking at another thread and started wondering how many rod and reel combos you all use in a day. I will typically have a combo for glide baits and one for spinner baits big & small and a combo for Mag Dogs and such. So I usually take three and maybe use two. What about you guys?

| I have way too many I usually take 4-5 out on the boat at once and usually use them all at some point most of the time |

Location: Smith Creek | Depends on the water and duration of the outing, but 1 rod and reel and 3-4 lures is usually good enough for an evening on local waters I'm familiar with. |

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI | Normally 5 or 6 different setups. Most of my lures are split ringed to the leader and don't get changed out during the day. I just switch to a different combo for the lure I want. I will change lures if there seems to be a color preference.

LOL when I go to Canada I usually use 2 all day. An XXH and and XH and then I usually just use my XXH rod combo all day... I do have backups at the cabin but I like a stiffer rod for lures down to 6oz... |

Location: MN | For casting, 1-3. Typically I have two longer rods rigged, one for shallow and one deep, and switch between as I cover different spots and different parts of a spot. I also have a shorter rod I use for jerkbaits or wtd topwaters that may also be rigged and is mostly used as a throwback. Sometimes I put a jigging bait on the shorter rod if I plan on covering some deeper stuff. |

| 5 combos total. One that is all purpose that can big baits like pounders and big bucktails. One that is bucktail specific - that can burn bucktails big to small. One for for top waters and smaller baits. One for WTD and jerk baits and one in reserve that is all purpose. |

Location: Walker, MN | 2 casting and one trolling rod per person always seems reasonable, until you have 3 anglers. 9 muskie rods in a boat is a lot. |

| I fish with 2-4 (3 rods 90% of the time) and have one stashed where I'm staying as a backup. A lot of it depends on the time of year and what spectrum of presentation I anticipate having to cover. |

| 7-8 combos on the boat for me alone, 1-3 out depending on # of people and weather conditions. All my combos have specific uses and I have used them all any given terrible day... Haha |

| I have had up to 5-6 casting combos and 2 trolling rods. That's due to most of my friends not owning their own combos so we're well stocked when fishing 3 guys.
When I jump in someone else's boat I typically bring two casting combos. One for light stuff one for heavy stuff. |
