Default JB, PNJ, any other Lake Eire BASS Fishermen

OK I've been looking at the rods, and reels and deciding on what to take to Erie this weekend. I have quite a good selection Anyway I am trying to figure out what would be the best setups for Erie. I plan on taking 6 combos for the tournament. Here's a List of what I was thinking, but would definately like your ideas. First off, while theorizing on it( I know Big Trouble there) I was thinking the 7' rods would usually be a better choice, because of the deep water fishing that can occur for the smallies, so I took that into account. I have many 6'6" rods to replace any in the 7 foot size.

1. 6'6" Medium Baitcasting Crankbait rod ST Croix. I won't leave home without it
2. 7' Heavy St Croix Baitcasting Rod. I can pitch with this rod if we are doing so, but I can c-rig, with it, and t-rig also or PNJ.
3. 7' MH Baitcasting G Loomis for t-rig or really deep cranking. I also can double as spinnerbait buzzbait rod.
4. 6'6" MH St Croix usually rigged with a buzzbait, but not sure if that's a good choice of baits there. Can switch to spinnerbaits also.
5. 7' Spinning Medium Fenwick(just won this 2 weeks ago, haven't used it yet) for drop shot, and smaller t-rigs, weightless plastics, smaller cranks.
6. 6'6" Spinning MH St Croix. This is for Mojo rigs and light weight plastics. Obviously can be used for many other things also.

I have a 7'6" Baitcasting G Loomis Flipping Stick, that might be good for some of the deeper water c-rig or PNJ or T-rig. Didn't think I'd be flipping much, so I was not planning on taking it. I can pitch better with the 7' anyway. I also have a 7' Spinning Heavy St Croix rod. Thought about repalcing my 6'6" MH but not sure if appropriate or not.

I guess it comes down to what bait selection you would have pre-rigged for this tournament. I can switch up as needed. So I would appreciate you telling me what 6 combo's you would take, especailly the bait selections cool: Thanks in advance for your help.
