how many rods do we really need?

[WaffleJaw]

i use four when i go out...2 BC and 2 spinning rigs
all different length ,lb test...yadda,yadda

I get enough coverage out of em......i think,lol.....my gear ratio is pretty high....so im looking to buy a good cranking BC and rod this year.......plus a jigging rod.....plus a new bc for the jigging rod,and .....GET AWAY FROM ME MONKEY (swinging stick)


so how many do you take with you when you go out?


(OFF TOPIC)
awhile back I read a compliant on a local fishing forum about a guy who went out to set up for some catfishing...he arrived at a well known spot at about 6am and there was 1 guy there who had set up 22 fishing poles for catfishing and taking up 90% of that area.......needless to say the guy who wrote the compliant chewed that guy out and called to report him......

i just wanted to share that story cause that seems completely ridiculous and retarded.......you need at least 30
