O.K. You guys wanted to know so here goes:
TACKLE
Tackle is not a problem. All you need is Virgils white spinner things or if in 30 feet or more of water a buzz bait will do the trick!!!!

Darryl, That was absolutely FUNNY! You rock!

Trying to make room for new ones is a never-ending problem Daryl. My pitchin stick is a Pinnacle which is not one of my sponsors, however I'll never get rid of it, even though I do have a Shimano Crucial as back-up.

Rob and Smitty
You guys were the only one's that named brands of rods. Way to go, thoughs sponser's will love you for it, when they check in on the web site. They might even arrange for some new rods. Make room for more.
By the way I like all my rods on the front deck.That way I can kick them in the water to make room for new ones. You got to have a plan when the wife counts rods and reels. As far as the backseat I like to bring them all just in case you have a couple fall out on the blast off to another location. You always need backups.
As far as tackle goes, what ever fits.

Good answer Wabasmstr, except I think that you meant Bad luck (as in broken rod) for the extra rod.
This has been very informative for a lot of us. And a real eye opener. I just hope that Kathy doesn't start a new thread like " What tackle is really necessary" That could lead to the longest thread of all.

I have 24 rod/reel combo's. Can't say I ever used them all in my boat, but really rely on 1-flipping stick, 1-drop shot, 1-crank bait,1-carolina rig,1-texas rig , 1-spinnerbait rig, and everything else is very specialized and probably waisting my space and my money, but I have them and it's great. I usually have used 4-5 as a back seater and when I had my own boat, I put as many in as I could carry, including my tackle. It really helps when fishing with everyone around here and you pretty quickly pick up on what gear is needed for what lake, etc and take an extra for good luck.

I want to thank all of you for responding to this. Since we have to replace ALL of Virgils rods, you question what is really enough! Since I am new at this I don't understand all the different techniques requried to catch those BIG fish. This helps me to understand why you need more than ONE!!! Of course if you don't know how to use one what good are any of them! I really appreciate the input it does help a lot (even Rich humor!!!) Thanks, Kathy

Good idea Prez. The only problem is that I would have to take it away from the other guy in the boat. DOH!!

EVERYONE, Lest us not forget, the most important post of all, YOU CAN ONLY FISH WITH ONE AT A TIME! I PREFER TO USE THE ONE THAT IS CATCHING FISH AT THAT SPECIFIC TIME!!!

three casting and three spinning on the boat plus a flipping stick most of the time.
