How important is it actually to have multiple different rods for freshwater fishing? For salt I have a handful, from 7' medium light fast for inshore light softbaits to 11 foot medium heavy fast for rough surfcasting. I've gotten into freshwater more this year and have two rods, one for panfish and one for bass. I'm doing more research into different bass setups (more bass opportunities here) and it seems like people go out with like 5 rods at a time with different actions and reels of different retrieve speeds based on what they're throwing and into what cover. Do I really need so many different combos? I'm running...

I feel like this is all around a good bass setup, from frogs to Texas rigs to spinnerbaits but the more time I spend watching different freshwater bass setups and techniques the more complicated it seems, as opposed to saltwater. Is my setup fine?
