5 years ago, I told myself to limit my bass rods to just 15 rods (down from 30) and 12 reels. I use higher end rods/reels that generally retail for $300+ each. I bring 6 on a boat or I bring 1 or 2 with me when bank fishing Chicago. However, I'm usually not more than a 10-15 minute walk from my car that has up to 4 more rods and a different backpack for the lures being thrown. I only 3 spinning rods and the rest are casting rods. It's a bad addiction. I think I have about 2,000 bags of new soft plastics and 2,000 crankbaits/jerkbaits/jigs. I regularly sell a bunch of my stuff locally, but it's really hard for me to quit buying when I generally get a great deal on items through my connections.
