How many setups does everyone have and how many do you typically take with you on a trip? I have 6 baitcasters 2 spinning reels and my wife has 4 close face reels. I typically take 4 baitcasers and both spinning reels out on a daily outing.
I have 45 rods and about 60 reels. How many rods I take depends on the type of fishing I'm doing that day. I take 2 rods when wading or fishing in the float tube. I take an arsenal when fishing from a boat.
I have lived in several states and have accumulated tackle to cover alot of different waters. Presently I fish alot of deep ultra clear water so I fish light line and small baits.
3 Baitcaster combos' one spare baitcaster reel.
4 spinnning combos with 2 spare spinning real.
2 Ultra-lite rod and reel Combos.
2 Spare rods.
I typical only take the spinning reels because of problems with my hands, they are easier to hold onto and I am more comfortable with them. I will take my baitcaster if I am planning to do alot of deep water cranking or spinnerbaiting.
