How many species do you fish for? Like if that’s not unreasonable if you do a ton of multi species stuff.
I think I’m sitting at about 20 some combos, but they are almost all just for bass fishing.

I have maybe 20 combos for bass fishing with a handful of orphan rods and reels floating around that I haven’t figured out what to do with.
Lures/plastics/terminal tackle, there is a lot. Maybe two dozen plano boxes loaded with plastics and maybe a dozen small plastic bins full of my spares. Sometimes it’s only an extra bag or two but like I think I’m literally sitting on 20 unopened bags of Senkos across maybe three colors and have a similar amount of couple of other plastics.
I don’t use a ton of hard baits, but I probably have 4-5 planos full of them and then a huge banker box full of unopened spares.

18 rods and 23 reels. Most of my gear is for salmon and steelhead with a sprinkling of bass/pike/walleye gear.

If boats count I'm screwed. My dad had several growing up, bought my own in 2011, brand new Triton 21TRX. Sold in it 2018 and bought a brand new Phoenix 721, now currently looking at colors for my next Phoenix lol. And of course every tackle locker in it is packed, so.. a ton. But I see no issue.

I have gotten more reels since this pic was taken 6 months ago.
Each reel is paired with a rod.
I still have rods that need reels.
I have a problem....

Wait, I don't see any Bait Runners there! LOL
Hi everyone, I'm Egghead I'm an addic!!!!!Well, I have 17 rods and reels just in my ice fishing stuff. 18 combos in my boat.4 tuna rods n reels I've never but almost used. 6 15' ugly stick surf rods for cat fishing 5 Salmon n steelhead rods n reels 18 miscilanius spinning rod/reel combos. And a bunch more out in my shop. And more tackle than Bass pro. I'm sick, very sick. Thanks for letting me in the group.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I don’t even know how many. It’s a lot. I have classic and antique spinning and few BC reels. At least 7 combos ready to go currently with fresh line that’s 2 BC and 5 Spinning.. one is large for Steelhead or Salmon and 4 are for trout .. cats.. or small mouth bass. I have probably 30 or 35 other rods and 10 or so non maintained reels but like I originally stated I don’t Know how many. I also have several old tackle boxes and several I bought or were gifts that I don’t necessarily take fishing every trip but they have some tackle in them. A 1962 15.5 ft Wooden Clipper Craft ... a 1973 Glaspar Fiberglass 14.5 ft An 8 ft Livingston Dingy. A 10 foot Campways whitewater inflatable raft. A 1980 inflatable German raft with canopy and transom. Many 2 cycle outboards 4 electric trolling motors starting with a mini Sevlor up to a large discontinued Sears model. A game fisher electric troller.
I’m as sick with this sport as Egghead.
Just arranging for a 1968 Larson Outboard I think it’s 20 ft. My 73 Glaspar has rotten Transom I discovered it last weekend. So at least I will have a safer hull. Yeehaw.
20 rods & reels between my grandson and I....to embarrassed to tell you how much tackle!...oh' yes' one boat!....Ooops'...forgot to mention the lobster gear......chuckle
