How many and what type of fishing rods do you have?
I have 3 beach casters
2 TFGear 11'6"ft rods 2-5oz
Shakespeare Salt travel rod -(heavy)
Penn Bass Rod - (broom handle)
4 spinning rods
2 course rods
4 Fly rods ranging from #3 to 6/7 & #8 weight 9ft to 10 ft (Abu, Greys and A Jenson)
Plus 5 rods from the 60's/70's from beach casters Abu 464 and a couple of Abu Atlantics with speed lock offset reel fittings up to 2oz casting weight.
Reels? that's another story - far to many ;)

I don’t even want to think how many! There are some in the garage that I have forgotten I have even got!
To my endless shame I have to admit that some have never even been used! Total number is easily into three figures I guess. Might have a proper count at some point.
Same goes for reels but some of them have now become display reels. I guess a couple, such as the old Aerial centrepins have now become worth a few quid too.
 
Some can't count on their fingers :ROFLMAO:
