How Many Rods in Your Quiver?

[Bamboozle]

Orvis Battenkill 7 1/2' 4wt. with tube, bag, and two tips. Never used.

Must be a newer Battenkill if it is rated for a 4wt line.

Great score!!

I have a 1981 Midge (7'6" 3pc, two tip, 5wt) Ron White built for himself, unused.

I am sorry I meant to type 6wt. It was right near my 7' 4wt. Orvis Clearwater!

30+
75% of them are old bamboo rods needing restored. After restoring a handful i found myself satisfied but ill get to fixing them all up eventually. I feel never have to buy another rod again, nor do i want to.

I've never seen someone own so many 1/2 rods. Amazing!

 

[FisherOfMen]

I used to own 30 or so at a time and cycled them out for different ones.i think i own 10 now.

5 I use.
I could probably go down to 3.
I'll probably go down to 3.

To be fair, at least half of them are quarters. 😉

I probably have 40 or so rods that are in good enough condition to fish. Last winter I built up 5 new ones, all glass. I have no idea how many I have stashed away awaiting repair, rebuild, or for parts. This winter will be all about bamboo rebuilds. Have 5 or 6 that I've been wanting to get back into service.

1 half, 2 thirds, and the rest are quarters.

5-8 wt? 9
1 11 wt
1 12wt
Other rods?
Freshwater baitcasters- varying ranges- 11
Fresh water spinning- varying ranges, 6
Saltwater conventional 8 in varying ranges
Saltwater Spinning, incl. Surf rods? 5

If I go back to the west coast next year for albacore on the fly I'm going to have to buy at least one new higher capability fly rod and reel combo. Pacific albies on an 11 wt. are a serious challenge.
