How many setups do you have ready 2 roll on your boat at one time? 2025

JuniorFisherJJ08 reply :

I fish mostly tournaments and carry a minimum 6 rods and reels with diffrent setups. With a few backups on certain setups. I fish rivers a ton and the fish can change every few hours.

How many do you carry?

Dock Master reply :

I currenty carry eight. As soon as I get some money I will have 20.

donbeatya reply :

It really depends on what time of year it is and how i plan on targeting fish. for me usually a crankbait, spinnerbait/chatterbait, jig, swimbait, shakey head, soft jerkbait will do me justice but i always carry an array of different options.

SO FOR ME ID SAY ABOUT 6

Marc David reply :

I have at least 7 ready at all times for tourneys. I try to make sure I'm ready for any situation

wisturkeyhunter reply :

1 swimbait

1 somethings else, usually a plastic of some sort

bigtimfish reply :

12 rigged out and ready to go with 1spare reel rigged with 12lb mono as an allaround reel.

D4u2s0t reply :

I voted 2. one usually has a spinnerbait or some other lure, and the other has a worm on it. both work excellent where I fish, so there's no need for a 3rd setup. I am YET to catch a fish in my lake on anything but these 2 setups, and god knows i've tried lol.

Bass-1 reply :

Between just fun fishing, guiding and tournament fishing, the least I "ever" carry is 6, and the most is 10. I alway carry two spinning outfits and the rest baitcasting. You never know when the fish are going to change and you really need to be prepared to change with them, or get left behind...

BenoBreath reply :

4-6

cart7t reply :

It really depends on the time of the year and what water I'm fishing.

If it's spring I'll probably have 14-15 total.

If it's summer on a lake I normally fish and I know what the bite will probably be it will be as low as 2 or 3.

RoLo reply :

I carry SIX pre-rigged outfits at all times (I do not tournament fish).

In all honesty, three of those setups are chosen by my wife.

I find that three pre-rigged outfits is just not enough, and often ask my wife if I can change one of her lures.

Though she never refuses, I sense a feeling of possession and try my best to get by with just three outfits.

Fishing Rhino reply :

Nine, because that is all I can safely stow in my canoe, and still have quick access to them.

My new canoe will handle 11, with more space between them. Plus a trolling motor.

For those who haven't seen it.

midnighthrasher reply :

flippin stick

Bassnajr reply :

Too many...

BrianinMD reply :

Only 3...

7ft MH BPS Extreme Trigger - Citica 200D - 40lb PowerPro

6ft 6in MH AllStar - Revo S - 12lb Yozuri Hybrid

6ft 4in M Quantum Code Spinning Combo - 6lb Yozuri Hybrid

Not high dollar setups or specific to any certain baits but pretty much covers what situations I run into. Only thing I would like to add at this point would be a decent lightweight BC setup, spinning works well but now addicted to BC now that I started using them.....

Blue Streak reply :

I carry 5 to 8 and usually have 4 soft baits tied on.
