4 to 6 when in the boat. On shore, I'll have from 3 to 6 in the car, and of those will have 2 with me (one in my hand, one in my belt behind my back) while working the bank.

Usually I will take three rods with me, and depends on condition I'll rig them with different lures.

I only take 3 rods on the boat.

I take 8 rods on my boat. 3 bait cast, 3 spinning, and 2 fly cast. All different weight/action in each class. And I use them all, not just there for eye candy.

6-9 in the boat, 4-6 on the deck.

1-2 while shore fishing, 3 while just fishing and 6 during a tournament

I like 5-7 in the boat. I fish as a co-angler so not as much room. If i'm beating the bank, normaly 1 of my "everything" rods. If I'm using two diffrent techniques (EX- Frogs and Shakeyheads) then ill strap whichever rod I'm not using onto my backpack.

Same here, 5-6 because I am a co-angler...  I will take 1-3 with me if I am bank fishing.

I always have at least 20 rods in the boat when I'm fishing.

Small boat and an extremely tight budget means that i carry no more than 4 or 5 rods. 3 baitcasters rigged with something different. 1-2 spinning rods. 1 for skipping, and the other for really small/lightweight stuff.

I shore fish almost exclusively and it's a hassle to carry more than three rods, so I went 1-3.

5's all that will fit. After a boat upgrade it will go up to 8/9.

I usually carry 2-3 with me when shore fishing, which I do a lot more than taking my jon boat out.  When I take the boat out, I usually bring 3-6 rods with me.

Have space for 8 in the boat...4 for me, 4 for my partner, except my wife who has only 3 rods, then I get 5.  If I'm fishing by myself, 6 or 7.  Shore fishing is always only 1 rod.

I usually start each day with 7-8 rods rigged and ready to go, 4-5 BC & 3 Spinning.  There's always 4-5 more in the rod locker that are backups.

BC's include: Topwater, Crankbait, Spinnerbait, Heavy T-Rig, and Pig-n-Jig.

Spinning: Medium/Light T-Rig, Dropshot, Tube/Grub.

I carry 7 BC's and 3 spinning, all in rod lockers.  Most of the levelwind outfits could do double duty, but I find it easier to grab another rod than to re-rig one while I'm fishing.  The spinning outfits are used for dropshot, shakeyhead, and the last for skipping senkos.

Depends. On "the big boat" the rod locker could have 15-18 rods in there, mostly spinning but 4 or 5 casting.

In the tandem canoe for pond Bass when I'm lucky to have someone play trolling motor for for me (paddle me around) it's usually 2 fly rod combo's.

In the solo canoe it's 4- to 6- one is always a spinnerbait casting rigs, then the other ones come and go as the seasons change.

Walking/wading local Smallmouth creeks is usually just my favorite 6-weight fly rod.

Hard for me to answer with just one response!

I have 7 combos total.  I can take all of them in my Pelican Raider, but they don't all fit "comfortably."  Normally I only bring four, I just choose the four I think I will most likely use depending on season/weather.  Of those four I usually only end up using 1 or 2 of them. ;D

My big Gambler 9-12 for a tourney.
