my great uncle who fished BASS tourneys didnt even have that many rods......lol

I hear that. My boat is so small that 4 rods is max.

One worm baitcaster
One spinner Rooster Tail
One flipping tube bait or worm
One ...depends on cover..either top water, weedless spinning, diving crankbait or rattle trap.

i do alot of river fishing (hopefully getting a kayak soon) for smallmouth, and about two rods all i can take with me...
