Rod Combos

[youngbassman77]

Hey guys...How many rod combos do you guys usually have? And how many do you usually bring out to the lake when you're fishing? I have one spinning combo and one baitcasting combo, and for now, I use them both when I fish...And I'm thinking about getting another one (casting). I currently have a 6'6 MH Fast Action Shimano Clarus Rod with the Curado 201BSF reel, and I have my eye on the Curado 201B5 reel.. Not sure what Rod, but I'm a little hesitant on picking it up... Just curious to how many all you fishermen out there have... Thanks

right now i have three casting and and five spinning and i bring them all out in the boat with me

and you should invest in an abu garcia C3 baitcaster they are good and lst for ever

[youngbassman77]

Thanks for your response Bass Kicker...I'll look into that reel...

[bass kicker]

if you get it you wont regret it

Actually fewer than many of the older guys on here, because of both boat space and limited money.

I have what I term the big 3 baitcasters; my light action Morrum 1600 on a 6 1/2 berkely rod, my heavier 5600 on an allstar rod and my Pinnacle Tara on my flipping stick. These all cover the bases, but I would like to get something in the middle between the 5600 and 1600, it may or may not end up being another garcia.

Spinning I normally only take the larger garcia cardinal on the 7 footer, but I hardly use this setup now. I also did take an ultralight combo, but that has broken down over the past few months.

In the summer I also always have a fly rod handy.

for spinning imo pfleugers are better then abu

and i love abu

[WTL]

I dont at all disagree with you kicker, the cardinals leave a lot to be desired. Last night I got a mitchell at walmart to replace the ultralight cardinal I had had. That cardinal fell apart after 2 years. The Mitchell was cheap, but its smooth and if it does break I'm only out 20 bucks. I havent yet got the taste for high end spinning gear.

I need a rod carrier for all mine!

[lovinfishin9]

i have 1 baitcaster, another one is on the way, and 3-4 spinning, im not sure how many because im always buying rods and reels at yard sales. i have 4-5 spincasting combos too.

[crankybait]

2 spinning

[zooker]

try 25 combo's for tourny fishing i normally only use 7 combo's. in reality you only need 1 for plastic's, 1 for crank baits,1 for spinnerbaits,1 for c-rig,and 1 for top water.

14 combos total. 4 of which are spinning. Prefishing I'll usually take 6 or 7 to the lake to apply to where I think the fish should be based on seasonal behaviors and weather and lake conditions. If and when a strong pattern emerges I'll pair my stuff down to 3 or 4 rods with an extra for emergencies (change in conditions, front, etc.)

Let's see ...

I have 3 - baitcasters, 2 - underspinners, 5 spinning, all of various line weights and actions and I usually take 3-4 on the boat with me.

[Bendersbe16]

[lovinfishin9]

i take my baitcaster, now ill take my new one too, and i usually have 1 or 2 spinning with me thats 3-4 i take out.

[crankybait]

oh god im jealous...

[bass kicker]

you dont need all the rods that a lot of use have

most of us that have all these rods need them to nave multiple rods prerigged for tournament fishing

[zooker]

i really should have put 25 bait casters. 15 light spinning,12 heavy spinning surf combos,12 leval wind salt water rod reel combo.. inculding 4 set up for shark -5/0 tuna sticks with penn 3/0 reels.

[bass kicker]

are pfluegers bait casters as good as there spinning reels

[JB]

I got one shimano and 5 quantum baitcasters- top of the line for the mid 90s lol) and two crappy spinning outfits, one of which I am going to replace reallll soon. both are shimanos...I hardly throw them tho, maybe 1/2 hour a trip on the water, the other 8 hours is all baitcasting...

[bass kicker]

i use the bait casters just as much as spinning well it depends what type of tech i am doing and what style
