2- Ice rods both are walleye rods... dunno brand... bought it at Cabela's... I dont ice fish that much but better be prepared than sorry... I need two panfish rods... will get that before ice season comes...

I have one Abu 6600SSC3 and one Abu 6600C3 thats feeling VERY lonely... Probably will get rods for those two sooner or later... Im thinking of ordering couple more rods from KT Pro Edge... ranging from 9'0 to 9'6 for next year...

WOW! I need more...I only have 2: a 5' ultralight (which I love for pannies!), and a 6' medium action. I really want to upgrade my medium action rod to something better in quality. Both spinning combos.

SO, if anyone wants to get rid of their nicer 6' medium action rod and spinning reel combos...let me know! smile

I see alot of ST Croix and Fenwick. Guys not using g-loomis, pfluger or Falcon?

Given St Croix and Fenwick are very good rods, don't get me wrong! I am just surprised, and very cool to see what your all using.

I am not sure of the exact number, I have over 20 rods, I use most of them every year. I fish for a lot of different types of fish, panfish to muskie, so they all serve there function. If you include ice rods, I have many more.

There is nothing better then catching that first nice fish on a new rod.

Bunt2k as for your rod Question. Generally of course Loomis are the tops with the low end at $125. This tends to keep most anglers away, when you can for instance get a couple of another brand for just 1 Loomis. Heck, the Shimano Clarus is a great rod at $49-59. Falcon, they don't have a whole lot of Recognition in the northern states yet really or at least they are just catching on. And I thought I saw pflueger, well the fact there is there don't have many rods in the Pflueger line, Myself I chose Allstars as they are a better rod and still be the same generally company (shakespeare)

Not enough is the answer. I started building my own, and it's becoming an expensive addiction. I've built 4 for myself, and 3 more for gifts. I anticipate at least a couple more this summer.

6'6" ML St. Croix SCV custom spinning

7' M St. Croix SCV custom spinning

6'6" M Gander Mt. Guide IM7

6' M Gander Mt. Guide IM7

7' MH Galyans IM8 Baitcasting

6' L Bass Pro Spiral graphite spinning

4'6" UL G Loomis Premier spinning - An oldie but goodie

8'6" 4wt St. Croix SCV custom fly

9' 8wt St. Croix SCIV custom fly (which is currently broken and awaiting a new blank to build again)

Sadly, my dollars spent to hours fished has been WAY too low!

2 fly rods

2 8' line counter trolling rods

2 7' leadcoring rods

2 6' bobber rods

2 6' jig/rig rods

2 7' jig/rig rods

These are all cheap rods. I recently discovered that higher end rods are the way to go for jigging and riggin so I picked up a 6' M fenwick HMX and a 6.5 ML cabelas HML and I really like the sensitivity of both.

Oh I fogot to mention the ice rods. 6 assorted ice rods, 2 tip ups and 4 rattle reels.

In other words TOO many!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
