How many reels do you own?

I just found 2 that I'd been looking for, so I'm up to 4.

Hello again, I forgot about my spinning reels. I have 5 spinning reels one saltwater the rest freshwater so all together nine or ten reels. I know I gave some to my grandson and my son so I probably had 12 or 13 reels all together. Bill the mailman

2 other good future polls.

1 - how many rods do you own

2 - How rod and reel setups do you bring fishing trips

North of 50 :lol:

I could have answered "more than 4" just for 4, 5, and 7 weight fly reels. Forget spin. :D Add trolling, baitcasting, spin for salt, fresh, ice, etc., etc. Fly reels from 3-12 weight.

I thought it was fly reel only when I voted, well over the 4+. My saltwater gear alone puts me over 12
