I'm guessing around 36 rods .  6 salmon trolling rods , 3 musky , 8' & 10' noodle rods , too many other numerous rods. Not even counting all the ice rods

Probably too many. Buying new rods and reels is allmost as addicting as buying new lures. Yesterday my wife told me I buy lures "like they were candy". It must be genetic because my 6 year old twin boys are allready showing signs of the affliction. ;D

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I have six spinning  combos for now.One saltwater setup for musky and catfish.Two medium setups for bass and walleye.Two ultralight setups for trout and crappie.One flyrod that I'm still trying to figure out how to cast.I have more reels that need poles.( I only buy Ugly Sticks anymore because I snap the tips off) I had a baitcaster but I returned it because I couldn't figure out how to cast it without either a birdsnest or a 10 foot cast.I just got back from Gander Mountain with some more lures and odds and ends, but I'm good for now with rods.

I don't even remember how many rod's I have had in my lifetime.  I fish a lot, so I use many rods.  My favorite rod has to be my Musky rod.

4 flyrods
12+ spinning
3 baitcaster

Just watched a Roland Martin show over the weekend.  He was panfishing with his grandson using a closed-face spin casting outfit by Johnson-Century.  Used to have one of those when I was a kid and watching the program made me want to go out and get a couple of those for old times...

You don't want to know.

I'm with jiigenstick, you can never have enough.

Which reminds me of the story where the wife asked the husband "Why do you have so many fishing poles?"  to which he replied:

"Why do you have so many shoes"?

I never say no when my wife wants to buy something for herself.  I just quietly keep track so I can use it for ammunition when I want another gun or rod!  ;D

Cider,

The wife and I have a system, whatever I buy or she buys the other gets the same value. Its a great system and works well.

Jon - sounds like a good system for you.  But... My wife rarely buys anything for herself and when she does it usually doesn't cost much over $20-30.  If I followed that....  Well let's just say I would be rockin' chair bound by the time I had all the toys I ever wanted!  ;D
