I have 6 to 8 rod's most of time. Really depends on the time of year what lake as to what colors I use. Pre.spawn it's easy green chart. Black chart. Under a float. Spawn I use all kinds of jigs depending on what lake I'm fishing. After the spawn I'm shooting docks mostly,for that it's 1/16oz or 1/32 marabou jigs and some soft plastics. I'm a jig junkie and I've found so many different jigs that work so well I have to have a lot of rod's at the ready.
