EdsBar Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Hey guys: I often fish with three or four poles when I go out, but sometimes I just need a "go to" when I can't get out in the kayak. So, this is what I came up with. Let me know if you think it would suffice for most bank conditions and distance casting. I have a Daiwa medium heavy rod with a soft tip (6'6"). I am running a Trios 30S reel on it with 6lb Siren braided line. I'm hoping this would provide an all around rod for those quick stop days. I'll post a picture of it after. Thanks for the advice!

c.rushing2010 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 My personal favorite for a "grab and go" bank fishing setup is a 7' medium or medium heavy rod with a 6.something:1 reel. Currently, that setup for me is a 7' medium mojo bass rod with a shimano citica and 14 lb fluorocarbon. My previous version of this setup was a 7' medium carbonlite with a pro qualifier. This setup just gets it done for me as far as bank fishing is concerned. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 Your setup should be just fine. Very similar to mine. My single go-to combination is as follows 6'6" MH Spinning rod AbuGarcia Orra S30 with 10lb PowerPro Braid I carry 8-10lb FC to add a leader if I feel it's necessary. It's what I started on and always carry it with me now. Quote
ak47soulja22 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Bank fishing I use a 6'6" carbonLite med/light with a carbonlite gold 6.4.1 ratio. Some places on the river or creek banks I can't throw the 7+ footers. The rod is extra sensitive with enough back bone to pull out hogs too. Quote
Bassintheweeds Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Seems light but if it works it works. I use a 7' carrot stick with a curado with 20lb floro or 60lb braid Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 My go to all around is a 6'9" M/XF spinning rod...spooled with 10lb braid with 6 or 8 lb floro leader. Most of the time, even shore fishing I take 3-4 rods still. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 7' MH mojo bass cranking rod with a Tatula and 14lb Sufix fluorocarbon and a box of crankbaits... Quote
livetofish28 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 7' mh fast mojo or veritas 40# pp whichever is rigged up to my liking more and either a 6'8 ml x-fast rage or 6'10 m-xfast LTB Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted March 16, 2014 Super User Posted March 16, 2014 If that combo works for you, go for it. My go to combo is a 7ft Avid with a LEWS Tournament MG, on 30lb PP braid/ with leaders. Quote
