Ive been fishing 3 setups all the time. I fish out of a basshound.
1. 6'6-7 ft medium fast or xf spinning
2. 7ft medium heavy casting
3. 7-7'2 heavy casting.
This is how i roll. I use 1 for plastics, flukes; shakeys etc.
2 i use for texas rigs, senkos and frogs and spinnerbaits or swimbaits.
And 3 for jigs and heavier frogs
