Three for me. Four is one too many for my setup, it always ends up getting in the way.

Yep same here, went with four once and it's just too many for my liking. I do take three sometimes but most times it just goes unused so I really like going with two. Nice and simple and all I really need most of the time.

Four rods and a sabiki.

Surface Iron, deep Iron, flyline, dropper.

Fishing I almost always have a bait out and am working Iron. I like to flyline paddle around then drop heavy Iron on marks. If I see boils I then just stick the heavy Iron rod in the holder and grab my surface Iron stick and throw.

We'll get out there one of these Sundays. The bay's going to be wide open soon.

Yoyo rig, surface iron rig. One to change out for heavy bottom and fly lining macs, a bait stick (sabiki and saliki) and a bass stick.

5 I bring 5.

Number of rods would depend on season and location. When I fish south bay I usually have a rod for fishing bait and 3 or 4 for fishing plastics, spinnerbaits, or crankbaits. No reason tying knots all day. In LJ winter maybe a rod for making bait, a yoyo rod, and a heavy bait rod. In the summer it would be a surface iron stick, bait making rig, lighter bait rod, heavy bait rod, and maybe something to fish the plastics with. Even if I doubt I'll use it I always bring a long rod when I fish LJ. Other surface iron lovers may agree, I just feel incomplete with out the cannon on board. Mike
