As far as rods go it depends on the time of year. When the squid are in you only need one rod (iron/squid on dropper loop). I bring two out in this case, one set up for the dropper loop and the other with a squid catcher on already. I either subsitute that for a deep iron or another dropper loop setup later on.
I know a few guys who only go out with irons as well. That isn't my area where I have any experience so I'll let them go into detail on that.
Other than that I bring one rod with a sabiki and one with a surface iron and one setup for flyline or with an sliding egg sinker setup if I'm targeting WSB.
