    How Many Rods Do You Own?

    I admit I should be on the Hoarders TV show when it comes to fishing rods. At one point I had over 100 good quality Bass rods of all brands you could think of and all actions.

    I sold off a bunch and got it down to 40 top end rods , or at least my favorites. Guess what , back up to 60 again. HELP!

    Always looking for the Holy Grail of fishing rods.


    What was your peak number for rod ownership?

    Not near 100, I have maybe 15 which I use all the time. Each one is used for a purpose which is usually already rigged up before the day of the tournament. It sure helps cut down on time changing out lures.

    No more than 25. I used to own maybe 40, but have sold off the ones that I don't use.

    If you know how many then you don’t own enough.

    I have 40 custom rods I've built and another 90 or 95 blanks waiting to be built. Those are all for my personal builds and a lot of those blanks are no longer in production like G. Loomis, Rogue, Shikari, and St Croix. Pretty much getting away from building for others except for close friends and family.

    Are we counting just bass rods, or including panfish, walleye, ice rods, etc?
