How many fishing rods do you have???
I have 10 and don't own a boat; and I "NEED" another one.  And I actually use them all.
When is too much too much?

13 spin/bait rods 3 fly rods and a couple ice rods.
I typically use only 2 spin/bait rods an 8'6 shimano for sturgeon and a 6'6 spinning for messing around on the river...the others a re a mix of Loomis bouncing and rigging/jigging lake rods....5wt sage is the goto fly rod.
I'm sure I could narrow it down to 3 rods and be fine 99% of the time...but that would take the fun out of the bi yearly arguments with the misses.

I lost count of how many I own... I have some that are missing pieces, but they make for good parts. I seem to buy a new one every year! I like having 2-3 on hand during any trip.

I have one spin casting rod.
Does 1x2 wood sticks wrapped in line for ice fishing count as rod? Cause in that case, I have about 6 of them!

How many rods do I own? That's like asking a farmer how many horses or cows he has. Not something that I would even tell my closest friend.
Besides, one time my wife asked me that very same question. So I asked her how many pair of shoes did she own.  End of conversation and the subject has never ever came up again.
Fish on,
Rob

3 fly rods
3 spinning rods
3 tips ups
1 Marmish (never used)
Around a dozen ice rods (which are "mine" but are used by everyone in my family).
Additionally, there are another five rods in the house that are not mine, though I think I purchased all but one of them.

I've got a half dozen.
3 spin rods for the summertime, 3 ice rods for the winter.
That's just since last June when I got back in to fishing. Ask me again this time next year

Missed your query first time around.
"Too much" is when you can no longer store them neatly and keep them organized.

Well if we're counting tip-ups....have 3 of those as well.
I guess I need another one or two as well. Took out the summer rods from the shed and "someone" broke my slip bobbing rod. I have one to swap but maybe time to get another rod, maybe a shimano voltaeus so I don't break them anymore.
