How many rods/reels have you got?

Post by Mattblack » Tue Feb 07, 2017 7:04 am

I reckon 1/2 the fun of fishing (& most hobbies) is collecting the gear...just wondering how many rods/reels do you guys have & how many is too many?

13-15... Half I can't remember where they came from!

How many is to many....... when you give up on fishing... then it's to many.

i used to be in the no such thing as too many, but i culled quite a few and ended up upgrading all my gear to semi expensive but quality gear

Daiwa TD commander Avenger / Luvias 2004
Daiwa Tournament Specialist Bream / Luvias 2004

Snapper
Daiwa TD commander Armouraider / Luvias 2506/Caldia 2500

General Purpose.
Daiwa Black label 702 / Freams 2000
Daiwa Heartland / caldia 2500

Heavy Duty

Thats still wayyy too much gear. and dont start about the lures, now thats when the fun starts collecting them loll

I pretty sure I have 10 rods, but after reading this list I realised I don't know specifically what I have (I just call them "the expensive Shimano","the sh!t Shimano", "the good ol' Penn"....Might have to do a detailed list for insurance purposes tonight!

I thought my 10 rods & reels was a tad excessive, glad to see I'm relatively restrained. ;-)
Cheers,
Neil

I am not alone here :super:

You can fit even more rods if you keep rods and reels separately.

Around 20ish rods and reels covers the full range from light to heavy ready to fish for bait fish, squid, or sharks marlin ect.
