I'm not alone
I've been keeping said spreadsheet for 30 years next year, I started as our house was burgled (my gear was safe, didn't have that much at the time)
If you really sit down and count it all its staggering, I still remember totting up my large Fox box and contents, I'm sure it was over £800.....nuts!
I can only imagine what some of the chaps have now value wise with £1000 reels etc :-0

I did think about the security before posting that list...
Some of the kit is at my other house, some at my farm and some at my brothers.
If anyone makes it past the cameras and security where I live they'd have earned the right to pick what they want from the list! 😂

An excellent thread Adam, well done for starting it.
I do envy those who just have one set of rods, and that's it, nice and simple. Unfortunately, life is not that easy for me, further complicated by having 2 lads 9 years apart which has increased the amount of rod sets in the house.
My rods as follows
3 x 12ft 2lb tc Mk 1 Armalites
3 x 12ft 3lb tc Greys
3 x 10ft 3lb tc Avid
3 x 10ft Daiwa Whisker catfish rods
1 x Sonic spod rod
1 x 10ft Garbolino float rod
1 x Shimano Beasmaster 8m pole
1 x 11ft Edgar Sealey glass carp rod
1 x 6 piece travel rod
4 x lure rods (heavy, medium, light, drop shot)
In addition, my eldest has
3 x 12ft 2.5lb tc Mk 2 Armalites
3 x 12ft 3lb tc Greys
And finally, my youngest
3 x 10ft 3lb tc Daiwa G50 Black Widow
Keep all the carp/catfish/lure rods fully set up so they all have their own reels, because I can't be arsed breaking them down and messing about swapping reels. Every cupboard and wardrobe in our house has a set of built up rods in it, much to the wife's delight.

I've a fraction of what some of you lot have - and still probably got too many.
I've a few favourite rods. Some old split cane jobs handed down from my dad. A custom made beachcaster. That beautiful racing green carp rod...
My question is for those of you with multiple sets of 3's... do you use them all?
I go back to my favourite rods every time and I've some that I've not used in years.

Thanks very much Fred...
What prompted this thread was how and where I fish ,and the amount of tackle I need to actually stand a sporting chance of being successful..
As I got older,I realised I didn't want,or need to have so much kit,especially, as l just love angling in general..I'm very fortunate to love both carp and course fishing ,..so that's why I'm minimal...
However,I note and see a lot of kit owned and regularly used ,and that's great ..on this thread,so that to me shows a level of interest and commitment to their hobby..
Long may it continue..!
(I go to bed thinking about fishing I wake up thinking about my next session)..been like it since aged 5...

I'm similar re getting older and not needing or wanting as much kit and will be shifting a lot next year. I've always fished the rivers and sea as well as lakes I'm surprised living in your location Adam that you don't own any fly rods,fly fishing for bass is my favourite form of angling as it's so simplistic and can be minimalistic which I appreciate more and more as I get older.

Your right though Goose,I have amazing sea fishing behind my cottage,I just don't do enough of it,despite my grandparents/family home being literally next to one of the best ,bass areas,including mullet in the harbour..where I lived til I married,...
I do some Tenkara, fixed line fly fishing which I'm crap at ,really I need to get out on the cliffs ,on those special areas ....its ,well kind of wasted on me,...
Think I'm too ingrained a course angler lol....
Forgot to say,we got no proper course rivers in this area,but..I have found a stretch with roach and perch ,although it's a spate stream mainly..
I proper envy ,those guys who have rivers with chub ,n Barbel,where they live..
