I always take 6 rods plus tip ups. We are allowed 6 lines here in a Wyoming and when I always rig up 2 rods so when the bite is one I can just grab second rod and get back down to the fish quickly
Just to keep people out of trouble, in Wyoming we can use 6 rods only on lakes designated in the Special Winter Ice Fishing Provision; everywhere else is 2 rods per angler.

I take 6.  I have 3 jigging rods for panfish (one for a jig and spike, one for a light spoon, and one for slightly heavier spoons or lipless baits), one heavier rod in case I want to jig for bass or walleye (not much for walleye around me, but hey...you never know), and then I have two cheap rods that I can set on my Arctic Warrior tip-ups.
My Setup:  Otter XL sled on a smitty.  10" Strikemaster Lithium 50 Volt auger.  Clam Bigfoot XL 2000 hub.  Garmin Striker 5 Ice Bundle.

7 or 8 we are allowed 7 lines per guy here in NYS. Doesn't matter in what combination we use them either. Can be 1 jigging rod 6 tip up or tip downs or you could have 7 jigging rods in at one time. As long as there isn't more than 5 lures and 15 hook points your in the clear in nys
If you sit around all day and do nothing your a bum, but if you sit in a boat all day or in a shanty and do nothing they call you a fisherman

Usually 3-4.  Two noodles for panfish jigs, one a little heavier for spoons/raps, and sometimes one for a minnow deadstick.

Holy cow, in Iowa we get three but have to buy the third one.

I wish we were able to buy extra tip ups. It'd be nice to hand fish two rods and then have three or four tip ups as well

Usually take 3 rods when just jigging...one with 2lb test for bait, one with 3lb test for plastics and one with 4lb test for spoons.  Times will bring Jawjackers and have one rod for each.  Nez

We can only use two rods in Utah, unless we are fishing Flaming George then we can have 5.

The question is how many rods do you bring, not how many are you allowed..

In ny I think technically we are only supposed to bring what we can use legally

In Michigan I can bring as many rods as I want, but can only have three in the water per person.

I bring rods with assorted jigs so I can change fast when I am viewing the camera.

5 tip ups and 7 rods is normal for me.

I’ve always had 3 with me but going up to 5 this year. They have never been jerks b4 about it when dec stops by so I figure they realize things like that too, anyway only my jig rod and dead stick are ever out the rest are in the bag. I do over run wires and tip downs every now and then.

I bring 10 or 12 with different jigs on them, don't like to tie jigs on in cold.
If fishing is a sport are we considered athletes?
