Own far far too many. Over the course of a year I use around 25/30 I would guess.

I like it,nice n minimal...

Same as me ...lol

3 carp
1 spod
1 marker
1 float rod
1 quiver tip

Ive been fishing since i was 8 so nearly 40 years, and have never sold any rods, plus i have all my dads rods in the attic...putting the above aside and just rods i use in my fishing currently.

11 carp rods
2 spod rods
1 marker rod
1 10ft float fishing rod
1 pole.

I must have easily another 30 rods and 6 poles, for general fishing / barbel fishing, most of these are my dads as he didn't really like still water fishing and would always choose river fishing over still water...i on the other had prefer still waters.....

Off the top of my head I can think of 24 carp rods, yes I may have a problem, especially given that I have been for less than a day this year.

I wish you had never asked this because now i've had to think about it... 20 carp rods, maybe a couple more, although 5 are currently residing in France with my son so I'll probably never get them back. 3 spod / marker rods. 3 float / match rods, 1 avon rod, 1 beautiful, gorgeous Normark spinning rod. 2 beach casters, 1 pier/boat rod, 1 fly rod & 1 whip. It is highly likely that there may be a couple more random rods as well.

I find it difficult to get rid of / sell rods - each 'set' or individual rod has a story attached to it or a memory and at some point in time were treated like an extra limb, hence the reluctance to let go. There were 2 exceptions to this, i sold a set of Chimera's recently to a lad i have known for 30 years, lives locally to me and is venturing out to France to fish with my son and needed stepped up rods. They're in good hands 😅 even though i do have some pangs of regret that I won't use them again - they caught me my first Cassien 40 and in retrospect I should've kept them...The other was a set of diawa powermesh 2 1/4 lb tc rods which were lovely rods but surplus to requirements at the time and the cash was used to buy some custom built ballistas so I don't actually regret that sale.

Too much nostalgia and sentiment wrapped up in a bunch of glass / carbon / cane but, for now anyway, I wouldn't get rid of any of them - they connect me to more than a fish...
