I fish for everything in freshwater how many poles should I use and what types?

First off rookie, poles are for fishing like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer did, a cane pole with a string tied to the end. For the interest of time and energy, they are called rods and reels these days. There is no way of answering this question so you can gear up. Truth is there are so many different and perfect answers for all the different kinds of fishing there is. (The combinations are limitless) Where you are in the world isn’t going to have some species that other places do have. I can’t think of life without the twenty I have in the boat but that is just for bass, I take some out and put some in for all the different species I am going out to target. So! In addition to different length rods and different tips, strengths, and quality rods, I think it’s highly important to have different spool sizes on my reels to accommodate all depths fished and distances casted not to mention based on the different lines you’ll need to be spooled with for certain bait presentation perfection and resistance to abrasion caused by cover. I also think you need to have different speed geared reels to present baits at the proper speeds to give the baits their optimum fish attracting look. So how can any answer identify your exacting needs? The perfection only you will know you need comes when you reach and don’t have a combination there in the rod box and you have to take time away from trying to put fish in the live well, to set up a rod and reel combo for what that water you are on that day, that time right now that the bass are biting on.

    Oh at first I thought you were making a joke about my people. Uhh I use three, but one is for when my uncle drives and I fish for bass using a skimmer while hes driving, and I leave that with a little loose tension, and then two other ones, that I don’t really know what type they are.

    eight is a bare minimum.
    you should have at least two spinning rods, one just a bit heavier than the other.
    you should also have at least six baitcasting outfits. each rigged differently or with different line weights. or some combination of the two.
    l take at least this many with me in the car every time. lots of back-ups or outfits for other fishing still at home. there is no limit as to what someone should have at home. but as l said you should carry with you a minimum of eight.
    1. one 6′ spin — 6lb line. small jigs, bait.
    2. one 11′ predator spin — 10lb line. bait.
    3. one 6′ baitcaster — 8lb — small topwaters. pop-rs and ricos.
    4. one 6’6" B/C — 8lb — plastic worms.
    5/6. two 6’6" B/C — 10lb — bigger plastics, jigs.
    7. one 7’6" B/C — 12lb — bigger topwaters. spooks and such.
    8. one either 6’6" or 7′ B/C — 14 or 15lb — frogs and such. for fishing in the jungle.
    and at times l will take an 8’6" B/C with 30lb for throwing big swimbaits.

    I have two spinning rods because one always messes up and I don’t want to deal with the tangled mess. I also carry an ultra-light when I like to catch perch and crappie. Then I have a trolling rod rigged with an old Pfluger Pakron with lead core line that I use for trolling for salmon and lake trout. So 4. yay. You only need one pole to catch fish though. I’ve done the 1 pole for years and had no issue.

    there is no perfect answer. the truth is a tournement fisherman may have up to 30 or more rods in our boats. almost every type of bait needs a diferent rod and line. also the type of cover you will be fishing will determine what kind of rod you are using. i generaly have 5 rods set and ready to go for the day. with a few more as back up. i medium action spinning combo 6 1/2 ft with 12lb floro for fenesse. and one 7 1/2 ft heavy action with 65lb braid for heavy cover. the others all depend on what lures i’m using that day. there are too many factors to determine the tackle you use and there is no one right answer. there are probably one million diferent set ups that can be used

    I fish off a kayak so 2 is about all I have room for. For bass I usually have one setup with a 6.5′ medium/light rod, spinning reel, and 6 or 8 lb test. The other is setup with a 7′ medium/heavy rod, bait casting reel, and 12 lb test.
