    Default How often


    How often do you buy the same rod and reel. I have been looking online for some new poles/reels. There a lot of adds that say if you buy 3 we give you a discount. Now I like getting discounts but what am I going to do with 3 pole and reels all the same and only two hands to save a dime. It not like you have 1-10' 1-12' 1-14' and get a discount or am I like in the wrong spot for poles. Thanks God it Christmas and I can have a smile on my face

    I think I have like 14 rods and reels, most of them are 10 footers but no 2 are alike. Several BnM's but even they are different models.

    most spider riggers in my area....buy their poles in sets of 4 or 8.....all matching, all the same length.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I only fish on days of the week that end with
    a "Y" ...and then, only if it's raining or not.

    Yea, as they've already mentioned, those discounts are geared towards Spider Riggers that purchase Rod and Reel Combos in 4 to 8 Quantities

    I keep between 4-5 casting rods & reels that match. I then have another 5 short rods for tightlining that match and two other longer rods that match for tightlining. I believe in matching up as much as possible and usually put different colored plastics to find what the fish are wanting.

    Many days I've had 8-9 poles in the boat at the same time and have wound up using only one pole. I was glad to have the others there just in case I needed them. I also believe in buying backups of some rods and reels in case they quit making them or the quality changes.

    Glad I'm not the only one that brings a lot of rods because you just don't know how they might bite.
