At least 10, I usually only take 3 or 4 out with me though. I have a bad habbit of picking things up when it is on sale like right now Gander Mountain has them 40%off might have to take a trip.

Too many,I  really don't know I've up dated for 47 years, and never got rid of the old ones,I don't no why? Right now my 12 best are 8 St. Croix,2 G.M rods, and 2 from Thorn brothers. Ever see a homemade hacksaw blade L. Erie perch rod? I still have 2, but never used them.

I carry 3 rods.  2 ultra lights and one medium for Walleye.  The 23 or 24 " fits best into buckets and pouches on my guide hut.

I have 2, 1 ultra lite, and 1 medium action. To much stuff in the jet sled usually turns into a huge mess.

I have around 25-27? 1/2 are store bought or tourney won, the other 1/2 are either super old jigging rods or homemade, but all fit in my ice box. You can have 6 poles per person where I fish, and I usually end up taking newbies, or my dad and cousin, each has a slightly different setup, so instead of wasting time w/ poles out of the water, I can quickly pull one up, and drop another in its place with a new tackle setup. ....I've never used a tip-up. got one for christmas and took it back cause I couldn't figure the darn thing out?

I have atleast 14.  Without going into the cellar to look I have them in cases that hold about 6 rods per case.  I usually have them all set up with different jigs so I can simply switch from one to the next w/o downtime.  The other bag has some heavier duty rod/reel combos for jigging for pike, walleye, & lakers when I travel for those species.  Mostly I end up only using a couple though...seeing I have favorites.  So if I'm after perch, gills, and crappie, I usually take my best 2-3 rods out on the ice.
