gitnby Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Bass Pro is having their rod/reel trade in deal starting next week, and I have some gift cards, so I thought I would pick up an extra reel. It got me to counting my rigs, and including the rods I keep on the dock for guests, I now have 26 working outfits, and a few extra rods with no reels. And, I don't even fish that much? marcus and MOsmallies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 well, I fish for a little bit of everything. So, I have panfish setups. I have catfishing setups. I have flyrods. I have crappie jigging poles. I have trout spinning gear. I think I even have a few bass fishing combos. I have rods that I value to much to take on creek trips. I have rods that I really like, but if they are lost at sea on a float trip I will survive. They add up over time. I need to thin the herd myself, but I am thinking about adding a couple of dock shooting combos so..... Champ188, grizwilson and dtrs5kprs 3 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Flysmallie Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I refuse to take a head count. That would be sad. What would be even sadder is realizing I use 3 or 4 of them about 99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blll Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 As you get older they just start to grow. I have the first rod my dad ever gave me in the 50's on a display rack., and at 65 years have less than one a year since then. Still adds up to about 45 set-ups. If I just fished bass there would be far fewer. Coming from the North, I have Musky rods and Canada rods. Here I had to buy Striper set-ups. It adds up. Usually about 12 in the boat depending on the days quarry. About this time of year I eyeball which one has seen its day and select it for the BP exchange. Going to try the new Quantum Throttle for drop shotting and a Browning 6'10" ML. I quit smoking this year so I can justify a reward with the saved $$$.

May need to check my storage locker in the boat? might be another 1 or 2 hiding in there? Oh, and I keep a small spinning outfit on the pontoon boat for emergencies. abkeenan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOPanfisher Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 LOL, at least I am not that bad. I have spent the last several years upgrading to better rods and reels, the old or cheap ones I put in our church garage sale or give away. Don't think I have more than 20 left.
