Default My Setups

Baitcasting
6foot7inch bionic blade rod med heavy / round reel left retrieve
6foot6ich med cheap bass pro rod its like their graphite one/ right retrieve penn 5.1 gear ratio
6foot 6inch med heavy woo daves rod/ pro qualifier reel
6foot 6inch med heavy woo daves rod/extreme reel
6foot shimano jimmy houston series med/ extreme reel
7foot med heavy bass pro rod/penn reel

spinning

7 foot med heavy/pro qualifier
6foot 6 inch med/ pro qualifier

These are all of my setups. What should I add and do you think I got enough to get the job done. Only thing is my stuff is all about 3years old except for the penn reels. Might upgrade.I am going to start fishing some tournaments hopefull this fall. I am 17 so I got a lot of time to start doing them. Do you guys think this will get the job done? Also does anyone know where to get crankbaits that are good at cheap prices?

Start buyin 7' rods, I am liking them a lot more than my 6'6" rods. Your rods will work fine, I am more of a rod/reel for a specific purpose type guy, so I buy them for different techniques now adays, not just an all around rod. For example I have a crankbait rod, a drop-shot rod, a pitching/fliiping stick etc. I match the reels for those rods based on gear ratios, and needs. For example I have a Shimano Castaic reel I use for pitching and flipping(2 actually) and I love them, with the thumb bar locking system. Start getting more technique specific on your future purchases.
