Too many rods ?

I often wonder if there is such a thing, wives' often say it is so, but avid fishing folks about almost never. :dono
I did some spring cleaning in my back seat the other day, being on the move constantly my truck is a second home, fully stocked with what will get the job done if need be.
went to grab something from under a pair of insulted bibs and there laid a firetruck, pretty sure my grandson left it there.
Of course my wife said why do you have a firetruck in the back seat ?
Me of course responded this about that .......
to pour water over the reels when I set them on FIRE ! :Rofl
then it occurred to me this about that ....
maybe I have too many rods in my back seat ?:crazy:
KABOOM is the word ya'll :Cowboy

I see the Allstar Dock Shooter is still in the lineup. Feels good in the hand. Also has that tough rubber butt cap just perfect for nudging the boat off a dock for a little correction

I only use it to vertical drop most of the time , in tight spots .
sometimes I use it to cast , but it is a bit on the light side if the fish run large .
had a pretty nice crappie man handle me this last week using it .
thunk it was going to get away for sure , but somehow it finally got ketched ......:Rofl
the one to the left of it is a stout short puppy with braid , it is my go to spring crappie stick on the docks .
it is set up for whale snatching .....:highfive

Don’t know about the back seat but I have these in my apartment. The ones by the door are going back in the boat tomorrow.

I've only got 40 :yikes ... 15 of which are used off & on ... and of those 15 I'll take no more than 6 at a time in the boat, but normally just 3-4 on a normal daytrip. And most times I won't use but one or two of those. :ThumbsUp

I almost posted a post similar to this just recently.
If you were to see our upstairs bonus room you’d think I was either a fishing tackle dealer or a hoarder .:Rofl .
I have rods , I’ve never used . LOL !
When my Tacoma Extracab was damaged in a wreck two weeks ago and they first told me they were going to have it towed , you should have seen the stack of fishing tackle I had on the side of the road .
There was no way I was leaving my tackle in that truck unless they were going to haul me off too.
Luckily, I was able to pay the wrecker driver $60 to pull the fender away from the front tire so I could drive it home .
I had two or three flyrods and I think six it was six take down spinning rods . And about six tackle bags . LOL .

I see you have several cord grip handles on those poles,,,better treat them with sealer or they’ll end up like my Huckabee dippin stick with cork cracking and falling apart,,,,at $100 plus for a rod,,,I’m not a big fan of having to treat anything,,,,but lesson learned today after pulling her out of the shed…

That's like asking why is there air? to fill up Basketballs, volleyballs and such or tires on your boat. spent winter going over my stash, at least at the house, not condo or lake house and found I had more than I thought. sprayed reels, reset combo's and adjusted them but too many? LOL no such thingy.

going to take all those gift cards from the kids and wifey and head to BPS to get some higher end stuff and add to the inventory. we don't NEED anything at this point in our lives but dang it fun to go check out new rods and their potential for ketchn.

I always make sure to buy extras when I find a good one. Learned that from my pops.
Berkley Crappie Pro rods got hard to find and sure enough, they were discontinued.
Glad I stocked up. I think I have 20 more r so. And got them 1/2 price of current rods on the market.

Yes, you can definitely have too many rods. I have never been able to determine what number is "too many". After reading this thread I have decided "too many" is five more than I own at that point in time.

Unless I find five or more on sale at a price too good to turn down. Then I will be forced to revise that number upward. :Rofl

I knew I had too many when I had to sell some to buy more. When you have 2 dozen rods at an average of 300 bucks a pop you know you got too many…LOL. The good thing I was able to sell 5 a while back but last 2 months have purchased 4 more. Got my eye on some more too…life is good and getting better!

We are renovating our house and I finally get a dedicated tackle room which I am pretty pumped about. I am still struggling to find rod racks that I am happy with that aren't super expensive. I just traded in 6 rods for one the other day, so I am making a little progress in cutting back. Down to 39 rods. Now if I could stop buying baits and lures every time I see then on sale. I for sure have an issue or 2. it makes me feel better to know I am not the only one with such issues.

Let me know how the no tackle buying goes for ya. I fail miserably at that.
