Yes, if I'm not walking a river bank.

Hi, since i've gotten into spey casting 3 years ago I have acumulated 6 rods! I fish for steelhead here in OR and use a driftboat. I like to rig my spey rods with different tips so I can quickly switch rods for different situations, like one with a type 3 for heads of pools and a rod rigged with a skagit 650 and a 12' t14 tip for the middle etc.
I was wondering if anybody else did this and how you rigged up. knd of like reaching for a different golf club!:hihi:
take care,
chris
A couple of years ago, my wife gave me for Christmas, the Magnetic rod carriers. I use them on rivers and streams where I don't walk a lot or can't. I will keep the rods on the carriers as they are out of harms way until I need to change them. They are great for driving a short distance to the next fishing area. The rods stay fully strung with a fly and are ready to go. I really like the rod carriers on the coast, and I usually have two rods strung up.
Fishing streams and rivers, I will string up one rod for dry line action or intermediate and another for sink tip action. Bob Pauli and I look like a two man Spey Clave with the different rods strung up on the vehicle, leaning against the vehicle and in our hands.
In my boat or my son's boat, I become basically a one rod guy. If we are fishing in a lake or river for trout or bass, I have one of Meiser's Switch rods strung up. Most of this fishing requires a long sinking builtin head or changeable tips. When I'm striper fishing, I use one rod, Meiser's 9/10 Switch rod. My son in his boat or mine looks like a Rod Pro, and will have at least 3 rods strung up and sometimes more. When he wades the river or streams, he is basically a one rod guy with the interchangeable tips.
