Off-Day Dreamin'

Well Guys, with nothing to do being home from school, I made a dream list of rods I someday hope to have. I knoe there's people out there, maybe even on this forum that have them, but here's my Dream List...

1. Lipless Bait Rod -- 7' MH, Casting: 15 lb. Fluoro
2. Jerkbait Rod -- 6'6'' MH, Casting: 15 lb. Fluoro
3. Carolina-Rig Rod -- 7' H, Casting: 17 lb. Fluoro w/ 12 lb. Fluoro Leader
4. Heavy Crankin' Rod -- 7' MH, Casting: 12 lb. Fluoro
5. Drop Shot Rod -- 7' M, Spinning: 10 lb. Fluoro
6. Shakey Head Rod -- 6'5'' M, Spinning: 12 lb. Fluoro
7. Spoons/Blades Rod -- 7' MH, Spinning: 15 lb. Mono
8. Topwater Rod (Spooks) -- 7' MH, Casting: 17 lb. Mono
9. Froggin' Stik -- 7' H, Casting: 65 lb. Braid
10. Spinnerbiat Search (5/8+ Ounce) -- 7' H, Casting: 15 lb. Fluoro
11. Popper Rod -- 6'7'' M, Spinning: 14 lb. Mono
12. Buzzbait Rod -- 7' MH, Casting: 17 lb. Mono

I know, I know, on some of them, like the "Heavy Cranker", or the "Lipless Rod", you may wonder why I put fluorocarbon... Well, fluoro. sinks, therefore giving the bait the deepest depth possible. It may be expensive, but it would work nice!

Lunk, you need 2 ratL trap rods, 2 jig rods, a senko rod and possibly a dropshot rod. Everything else is just extra luggage.You can git'r done with what you already got, sometimes it ain't pretty, but you can git'r done.

I have a Senko rod (I use it for more open water applications. St.Croix Med. Lite. 7'6'', Fast Action).

And please don't say I can get it done with the rods I have now. If my Dad reads this, he'll get ideas as to why I don't need more!

LL, as more the fluoro sinking, yes, it will give you more depth, but You'd be better off with a thinner braid on deep cranks because the cranks do the diving, not the line. But thinner braid will allow it to go deeper though.
