Shore fishing : 411

a few mroe if I am on the boat ;D

Four hundred and eleven rods?

You carry around a few more than me. ;D ;D

I take 3-6, depending on where I'm going, who I'm going with, and what conditions I think I might find.

When I go to Trophy Country, I take "em all.

9-14

1 Spinnerbait

4 Crankbaits

1 Carolina rig

2 Jig

2 Worm

1 Senko

2 Topwater

1 Frog

It really depends on the season. Most are kept in the rod lockers and swapped out as needed

I FIND THAT WHEN I TAKE MORE THAN 3 I SPEND MORE TIME SWITCHING AROUND THAN I DO FISHING

1 JIG SETUP

1 T-RIGG SETUP

1 SWIMBAIT SETUP

I fish from shore, so I'm pretty limited to what I can tack with me. I like to bring 1 BC and Spinning rod.

Most of the time I'm have a spinner bait or frog on the BC, and 3/0 worm hook on the spinning.

5-6 in a boat

3-4 in canoe

main reason i like several rods is that i hate switching baits on the same rod.

3-5

1 MH Carrot stix for worms and jigs (Always)

1 Med/Fast St. Croix casting for spinnerbaits and traps (Always)

1 Med/Fast St. croix spinning for jerkbaits and topwater (sometimes)

1 Med/Ex Fast Crucial spinning dropshot rod for senkos and finesse fishing (always)

1 MH/MF Crucial crankbait rod (most of the time)

1-4

2 spin

2 BC

2 baitcast (Heavy and MH)

2 spinning (ML and M/F)

i rock 4 and wish i had more

but i only use 2 on the shore

I bank fish so i take 3.

1-12 depending.  Shore/wading, I'll bring 1-3; fishing from my yak, 4-8; as a non boater in a tx., usually 4, in a rental or borrowed boat, 6-12.

I took 7 tonight:

4 crankbait setups (BDS 1, Moonsault cb100, RC2.5DD, and a trap)\

1 spinnerbait

1 football jig

1 spinning rod rigged with a slider

I did not end up using my spinning rod, and used the spinnerbait only a couple of times. The deep crank (RC2.5DD) did not produce a fish the times I threw it. I did catch two fish on the trap, but mainly the jig and two shallow cranks dominated. Cranks should highlight your game plan when fish start to go into a fall pattern, with the football jig backing you up when the fish aren't chasing baitfish. The football jig worked in the heat of the day, and the shallow cranks worked as it went into the evening. The moonsault cleaned up when there was activity around me in open water, and the BDS 1 pulled a few fish hanging out by trees and stumps. No hogs tonight, but a few good fish on the jig (only a few bites), but the two shallow runners produced quite a few fish (4-5 keepers...7 or 8 dinks). I had a blast. Heading out again in the morning...

App. 12-15 combo's on my my main boat. When fishing out of my small boat or when I'm on a buddy's boat app. 5-6 combo's.

skip rig- tube on a jighead various light baits ect-

I usually carry 7 or 8 on the deck sometimes more prefishing

i have 1 spinning and 6 baitcasting will have 8 come next spring.... you could never have to many..... each rod n reel are for different applications  ;D

Usually 3.  For bass I bring the following I bring 2 BC and one spin, for inshore salt I usually bring 2 spin one BC

I usually carry six or seven depending on where I am fishing.

One rigged with a senko or Fat Ika

One with a texas rigged worm, lizard or tube

One with a spinner bait

one with a Buzz bait

A crank bait rod

A Jig rod

and a Spinning rod with either a Dropshot or splitshot rig

Sometimes I carry a fly rod for when the topwater bite is really on

because Im not a tourny fisherman I usually carry 3, somethimes 4

topwater, spinnerbait, worm and my dock skippen spinner.

Right now, I'm limited to just 3.  I hope to have at least 6 by spring, and will try to continue adding.

1 Med-Hev BC that I fish my topwater stuff with.  Sprofrog, spook, poppers, buzz baits, whatever.

1 Med BC that I fish mainly a jig or t-right with.  

1 Med SR that I fish light stuff with.  Sluggos, small suspending cranks, smaller spinner baits, unweighted plastics etc.

I'm still pretty new to fishing hard and am in college, so money is tight.  I'm pretty sure though that I will end up being one of those guys with 10-15 in my boat at a time, because even with the 3 I have now, I'll find myself tying a half a dozen knots or more in an evening of fishing.  That's wasted time I would love to get away from.

In my boat, 3 swimbaits combos and another 6-10.

In someone else's, 6 combos.

Boat:

1-top water or  shallow crank

1-jig

1-t-rig or c-rig plastic

1-medium crank

1-deep crank

Shore:

1-spook or shallow crank

1-soft plastic/frog

Always have the following for summer fishing

1- Jig rod

1- Drop Shot rod

1- Top  Water rod

1- Carolina/Texas rig rod

1- Tube/Grub rod

1- Medium-Heavy Spinning rod for anything else

Then whatever else I bring for the paticular body of water.
