I see that many of you have several spinning rods n reels. Why? In bass fishing, of course, it is common these days to have multiple rigs. Even on deck at one time! I do this myself. Usually have maybe three on deck, some more in the rod locker. Those three have different baits.

Have you succumbed to GAS? Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Consumerism? Or do you have valid reasons or do you buy stuff you don't need just because you can? Pride of ownership, does that ever factor in?

Not being flippant, serious inquiry, just curious what you guys with some ultralight experience will say in this ultralight arena.
