I have 30 on my new ones, 22 of my old ones. On a good day I can't handle more than 15-20 as I'd have 2-3 running at all times, a couple flopping in the bottom of the boat, lines getting tangled. It's gets pretty exciting sometimes when they are on. The most I've ever set out was 30 I believe and didn't catch but 2......a sad day.
