5 rods for bass fishing

[trick worms]

what rods and line would you use? Don't deep crank so don't need a rod for that.

[JustinU1X]

7' M/F spinning - finesse - braid w/ floro leader

7' M/M casting - cranking - floro

7' M/F casting - topwater/jerkbait - mono

7'- 7'3 MH/F - jigs/ t-rigs - floro

7'3-7'6 H/F - frogs/flipping - 65lb braid

..Nothing too fancy but those can get the job done for just about everything in my opinion

Good rod suggestions...but I hate Floro...put me down as a 100% braid man.

Same here except I would use a ML/F spinning setup instead of M/F. I might use some different line too, I like braid a lot.

Well............I only use 6, and yes I have a boat, and fish tournaments, and do well, so it has not hampered me in the least. My 6:

Casting:

7'3" H/F, 50 lb braid, 7.3:1 reel and 15-20 lb fluoro leaders if needed............flipping/pitching/punching, c-rigs, dragging football and wobble head jigs 

7'3" MH/F,30 lb braid, 6.3:1 reel, and 12-17 lb fluoro leaders if needed...........shallow, lipless, and mid depth cranking, light cover pitching, blade baits (silver buddy style)

7' H/F, 50lb braid, 7.3:1 reel, 15-20 lb fluoro leaders if needed......................frogs, swim jigs, chatterbaits, close quarters pitching of jigs/t-rigs in heavier cover

7' MH/F, 20 lb braid, 6.3:1 reel, 12- 17 lb fluoro leaders if needed..................power wacky, bubba shot, shallow and lipless cranking, light cover jigs/t-rigs, treble hooked topwaters on the off chance I use them anymore.

All my casting reels are LH Daiwa Excelers

Spinning:

6'8" M/XF, 15 lb braid, 8-12 lb fluoro leaders if needed............wacky rigs, shaky heads, suspending jerkbaits, dragging tubes/exposed hook jigs for smallmouth

6'10" ML/XF, 10 lb braid, 6-10 lb fluoro leaders if needed...............drop shot, flick shake, split shot, tiny cranks and other hard baits.

Both Spinning rods have "30" sized Pflueger President reels on them.

If I had to lop off one to get to down to your 5 rod request, it would probably be the 6'10" ML/XF spinning, my 6'8" M/XF can do the things this rod does.......not perfectly, but good enough.
