Have fished for everything from small silvers to big carp, so need different kit, for species, method and venue's even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I find that fishing rods breed 😀 28 minutes ago, Penelope said: Have fished for everything from small silvers to big carp, so need different kit, for species, method and venue's even. Spot on. My own repertoire runs from trout to marlin with a variety of different styles, mainly lure fishing, plus my boy has a few rods, so they soon mount up!

I even have one or two rods that were originally bought for certain swims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 This is a bit like the shooters who think they need three guns to shoot clays, one each for skeet, sporting and trap. Then they need a different gun for game, plus a dedicated hide gun for pigeons and crows. And, of course, they also need a special gun for wildfowling. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it. PS I have eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rod for trotting bread flake down the far bank of the Hants Avon, with 3lb line would be no good for putting a 4oz lead 130yds to an island margin on a windswept gravel pit.

I do appreciate the difference, despite not being a fisherman. I just thought it was an amusing comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I have 4 jigging rods. It's embarrassing to write that down! Each is suited to a particular style of jigging and weight of jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Yep far too many fishing rods, and i plan to start sea fishing so a 2nd hand beachcaster is on the way! When my parents bought the house they live in now, back in 1983, they set up a series of clips Zinc-Plated Tool Clips ½" 10 Pack | Tool Clips | Screwfix.com along the wall next to the washing machine, it kept the rods out of harms way. Me...ive got a a few cupboards in the utility room....also holds a shotgun cabinet and a lot of other outdoor kit! Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
