buzzfrog Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 PQ on 6'9" Duckett Micro Magic. Use for everything minus lite baits Quantum Optix on QX36 for all lite baits I bank fish so do not take a bunch of gear. I fish shore mostly, but been getting good time on boat lately, on shore, 5 rods max, so my topwater hardbait rod doubles as a buzzbait rod aswell, but sometime on the boat I use buzzbaits all the time. BUT when I do get a boat chance it is great not to retie, but I feel ya Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 Somewhere around 24 combined spinning and casting outfits. Individual rod and reel prices from $80-$500. Some are general purpose but most are very technique specific and may see less than 8 hours of use a year. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 16, 2013 Super User Posted July 16, 2013 Curado E7 on a St. Croix Premier for jigs. Revo-s on a Daiwa rod for weighted plastics, or fishing weightless baits in the weeds. Abu 5600 C4 on a BPS Bionic Blade rod for cranks and spinnerbaits. Pflueger President on a Daiwa Procaster rod for light weighted plastics, drop shot, shakey head, and weightless plastics in open water. An old Mitchell 308 (probably need to get a new reel) on a BPS ML rod for ultralight stuff. Quote
