Have approximately 35 but only use about 5. I have an old Fenwick HMG 8'3 4-15lb with a hump handle (probably 15yrs old), kind of an oddball, definately not high tech, but I love the feel and am more confident with it in my hand. If you piled all the fish up I have caught with this one rod it would be kinda embarrasing (big pile from about 40 rivers). My other rods are getting kinda old to , so I am due for a couple new, since my new years resolution is to get out on the river more, nothing like some new weapons.
