When I go out I take:
Bait setup (usually a heavy baitcaster bass rod that I can use for bass or rockfish after my tank is full of bait)
Flyline setup
Setup for dropperloop/yoyo jigging
Jigstick for casting irons.

I've seen guys with 6 or 7 rods at a time but I think this is a bit over kill. I try to limit my selection to what ever my target species is for the day so I don't loss focus and deviate from the game plan.
