Default rod/reel setups for a specific purpose

If you could have three rod/reel combos what would they be? What would you use each one for (ie. topwaters, spinnerbaits, jigs, etc)? and what line would you use for each? ------- Please keep in mind that I have never used a baitcaster (I want to learn but am confused about them and scared of backlashes). I would look at a baitcaster though.

I know there are tons of threads out there about rod/reel combos, but I already have a medium/fast 7'0" Shimano rod and spinning reel and am looking to add two other rods that I can pre-rig before a fishing trip. A couple of things about me and my fishing exploits:

1) Money is not a huge consideration (hold off on $1000 rod/reel combos though cause a divorce would clean me out).

2) I love fishing topwaters and dropshotting, and I'm okay with a spinnerbait. I really need to learn to fish jigs and plastics better, and I have very limited experience with crankbaits too.

3) The lakes up here are ultra clear with pockets of thick weeds and lily pads.

4) I fish from shore 90% of the time (that may be remedied soon if I buy a boat - I will be asking you all about that too when the time comes!)

I hope this helps and look forward to your advice. I know there are other threads on this type of subject, but what else would you guys do with yourselves between fishing trips if newbies like me weren't seeking your wisdom???
