Spinning Rod Setups??

[bigbill]

So far I have two 7' Finor MH rods and one 6'6" M Finor Rod spinning setups. I'm adding a lews 7' med action rod and a lews 6'6" med action rod setups. My question is should I add a lews med/lt action rod setup?

What I'm trying to do is have my shore fishing setups seperate than the setups for a boat that's my goal. I'd like to have everything for a boat. I plan on getting a boat by springtime.

I use five different spinning rod setups from shore now.

Topwater

Crankbait

C rig plastics senko creature brushog

small lures spinflys

1/8 to 1/4oz spinnerbaits

Split shot rig worm.

Using different line test allows the cranks to run different.

I dont think its necessary to add more unless you have a boat and that requires more technique because you can target and got to spots that you cant target on foot.

Bill, too much spinning gear in a  small boat is a mess. If your competent with casting gear, use that for as much as possible, and then spinning for the rest. I carry 5 spinning rods in the boat, and it's about 4 too many, even though some do double duty. One for light line drop shotting, one for flick shake/shaky heads, one for skipping weightless plastics, one for  finesse jigs/small jerkbaits + crankbaits, and an UL for panfish.

I say anything in moderation is fine, I don't like overkill.  I have 3 freshwater spinning setups I use from shore, I take only 1 with me, I take the one best suited for the water I'll be fishing.  I carry my lures in box in my pocket and pliers stuck in my belt, that's it and nothing else.  When I did fish from a boat it was 2 spinning set ups, one just a bit heavier than the other, as far as I was concerned I was ready bass, pike, walleye or whatever.  I did bring a tackle box so what ever rig I wanted was available to me.  I like simplicity.

Not sure how too much spinning gear would be more of a mess than too much casting gear but sometimes less is more. If you have the room, bring whatever you want. If not Sir is right on in choosing the minimum you can get away with for what you have planned for the day.

Most of the time I carry 5 spinning rod setups when shore fishing. Now I'm starting to use baitcasters more so my spinning rod setups for shore fishing will decrease.

Bill, I am all for extra setups if you can manage. I could see the med/lt lews helping with lighter dropshots if that's your thing. Don't have the rod, but M/L rods certainly have their place.
