20+

I keep between 5-7 rods ready to go in the Jeep.  When I am actually out fishing, I take only one or two with me.  I fish mostly from shore,  so I can easily go back to the car and grab more if needed.

I usually take app 12-15 in my boat, it varies depending on time of year and type of lake I'm fishing. I normally have app 20 rod/ reel combos to pick from but usually leave a few behind.

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

Same here. I usually carry 2 b/c rigs and 1 spinning rig.

I usually have a couple of rigs stowed in my truck for backup.

4-5 when as a co-angler

1or 2 when from the bank

I have tried to limit the number of rods I carry and right now I take seven. However, I always wish I had more.  It's just handier than cutting and retying when I want to switch lures.  I suspect there will be more in my future.

My boat doesn't have a rod locker and I'm so bad about stepping on them, I will only carry 4 or five of the 2 dozen or so that I have. I choose them based on fishing conditions that I expect.

WAY TOO MANY! I usually carry 15+, but my boat is a Blazer 180 so only 1 rod locker. However, the stick jackets have really worked for me to keep them from tangling. I broke a rod 2 years ago trying to get it out of the rod locker, haven't had a problem since I got stick jackets for all of them.

I'll generally take four or five rods out of the bunch I have.

1 Frog/Flippin

1 Crank

1 Bottom Contact

1 Pitchin/Bottom Contact

1 Spinning

If I know that I'm going to be concentrating on a specific technique, I'll adjust the numbers and the types of rods I'm bringing.

20 rods in the boat - 6-8 on the deck, all different actions and baits.

st.croix premier for skipping

shimano compre for deep cranks

st.croix avid for pitching and light jigs

jb custom frog n Rat for flipping, frogging, and carolina rigging

gloomis cbr 783 for shallow cranks

jb custom super shot for drop shotting

shimano cumara for shakey head or light baits.

Best case scenario:

5 casting

2 spinning

less if boat or # of people is restrictive

I pulled into the dock one afternoon with my customary dozen or so rods sprawled on the deck (probably had a few left in the lockers too).

A guy standing on the dock said, "Dang, don't you think you have too many rods?"

I responded, "I didn't know there was such a thing as 'too many rods'.  That'd about be like having too much money wouldn't it?!"

As of this winters new rod purchases ill have 8 if im by myself fishing but less depending on how many the other person in the boat has.  I dont have a fancy boat so I dont have room to store any so they all have to lay out some where in the boat.

probably around 10 when my fiancee is with me..  she usually has 3 or so..

4 baitcasters, 2 spinning = 6.  That's all I can manage in my boat with no locker.  If I'm fishing with a partner I'll scale back a bit to 3 BC, 1 spin to make room.

3 to 6?

Come on guys, lets go out and stimulate the economy.

I lost count at 30!!! 

17 3/4, on a good day.

Sam - the question was: "How many rods do you like to carry with you while fishing?"

So, do you tow a "rod barge" behind your boat? ;D

6-10 on deck, may carry more in the boat.  As a co-angler I don't go over 5.

I got 2, I bank fish so the spining is my shaky pole, and my BC is everything else pole.

3 to 6?

Sure thing, Sam!  Just PM me your credit card info and I'll stimulate away.  I've got the itch to buy a few more Dobyns rods.  Thanks buddy!  Look forward to spending your hard earned money.    8-)

4-5 baitcasting and 1 spinning in the boat.

1 rod - shore fishing.
