Choose Just One Rod

A few days ago I watched a video that included a segment featuring Rick Clunn. In that segment, he said that we should find one rod we like, and buy as many of that rod as required to satisfy our fishing needs vs buying many different "specialized" rods. His reasoning, basically, was that it takes a lot of time & energy to transition from one type rod to another, thus, not being on top of your game during this transition. I think there may be something to that. Back in "the day", that's how things were done. You had a favorite rod & reel that you had 4 or 5 of in the boat. You really got to know that equipment & could detect the slightest strike, regardless of the lure you were fishing. Are we victims of a marketing strategy to sell more rods & reels? Without a doubt. Would we be more successful doing what Clunn suggests? Hmmm...What do you guys think?
