In the boat, 4 in the holder and 2-3 on deck. 
Bank 1 

 

Fishing out of a boat 4 to 7 combos.  Fishing off of the bank 1 to 3 combos.

I've been taking 11 with me this year. 2 bundles of 4 and one of 3. Seems pretty manageable.

Back at the hight of my tournament days, I owned over 30. Actually carried around 20, the rest were backups and there were three for wading creeks. I know, I'm OCD as hell.

 

As I no longer fish tournaments, with the exception of eight, I've sold all of them. My jon has tubes for six rods, for the most part that's all I take. I still have a wading rod and two bluegill rods too.

I take 6 or 7 out on the kayak, but want to take less...
