How many poles?

[Hit-n-Miss]

Do you take with you and rigged with what. I usually have 1 topwater, 1 just a jig or spoon or spinnerbait, 1 thunder bait rig, and 2 thunder with a jig(1 deep and 1 shallow).

Thats about what I normally rig also, been trying to get it down to just four rods, but its not easy. Also, I usually have a rod rigged with a sabiki to catch bait with also. And when it warms up a little more I usually have a rod rigged for spanish macks also.

Two with different top waters one with a Thunder and two with different Stretch 30's "gotta be ready ta run offshore don't cha know"

[Ty one on]

I take two, One I throw all the time and the other is just a back up.

That reminds me. I need to get a paw at Rivers today on the way home.

At least 3. Top water baitcaster, jig or swimming bait on a baitcaster, and a CT on a spinning rig. I usually have a light takcle spinning rig set up as well.

I like to have 2 or three set up when I bass fish as well, depending on where I fish. Its nice to have a secondary lure set up to quickly toss at the fish that swirl, but wont hit the first lure.

4-5. Rigged with baits that work the surface down to the bottom.

Passengers are restricted to 2 rods, more if they fill up the gas tank.

[Reel Cowboy]

I generally take 4-5 rods rigged with top water, suspending and diving plugs, a soft plastic and a Cajun Thunder. When cobia or spanish are making their pass through, I'll have another one baited up and drifted behind the boat. I quess the best answer is if you think you have enough bring one more.

[jsuber]

I carry 3-4 rods ready and rigged. Murphy loves fishermen and I like to have another as a backup. Most the times I need the backup when the fish are biting best. Depending on what I'm fishing for, as to how I pre-rig the rods, and what rods and reels I will bring. I normally start my mornings with topwater and have other rods rigged with shadtails and jigheads.

[Flats Rascal]

One and a back-up.

[Atticus]

I take about 6. Never know what you are going to run into out there.

[RHTFISH]

One topwater, one with spoon, one with jig, two with CTs for
rodholders, and usually a spare

[reel therapy]

I thought I would peek in on this thread and see what the consensus was. But now I am now confused after reading this thread , so on saturday I will just bring everything I have.

[fishful_thinkin]

I usually have 4 but it all depends on how many people are on my boat.
