    2-3, depending on what kind of terrain. If I'm pushing through trees and bushes to get to prime spots, then just 1-2.

Just one two rods is a hassle amd i have a method of making one rig able to be used as a Texas,florida,and Carolina rig without having to retie. Just swap around my plastic.

Oh wow very nice man! That's my deal is trying to have a couple rigs with out rerigging all the time. But I always end up with a couple poles

2 rods. One spinning one casting. I use spinning for worms and jigs. Casting for topwaters and crankbaits.

Depends on accessibility.  4 rods usually.

4. If something presents it's self I will use my jig rod to tie on. Jig rod for me is my junk rod when bank fishing. Bold is when I have to trek through the wilderness and lighten my gear. Jig rod will work from below surface to the bottom. Frog staying on top. I have access to the entire water column when I fish.

  3. Crankbait

usually 3 a ml spinning. mh jig rod. Mh cranking rod. Sometimes I'll carry a fourth top water rod. Re tying kinda sucks but days I don't want to launch the kayak shore fishing gets rid of the itch

Two, maybe three. I'd hate to be out with just one rod and have an equipment malfunction. 

1-2

I carry two when on the bank. One spinning and one bait casting combo that covers a wide range of techniques. I carry four rods while on my kayak though.

Definately only two. I feel really cocky if I go around with more then two.

3 .... 1 Spinning, 1 Bait caster, and a back up in case.

I only bring out two with me to the shore and leave the other in the car.

Back up in the car in case equipment failure or going to location where another rod is needed.

I usually take 4 with me in the car.  I carry 3 depending on where I am going.  If there is a lot of brush I will carry 2.

Two or three depending on where I'm going and how long I have to fish.  When carrying two, it's a MF B/C and a ML/F spinning setup.  Third setup is a M/M or MH/M B/C.  I have a Spiderwire backpack that holds 2 rods, making it easier to transport everything.  

 

I sometimes ride my MTB to a couple of spots and take a couple of 2-piece rods, though I've got to be careful of low hanging branches on some single track.

I bring a MH Baitcaster and a M Spinnning. If I had the money to spend I'd add a M Baitcaster to the mix.
