Reel and rod set up

[grayfox0327]

Hi

 

This is my equipment:

 

Rods

 

2 - 6.6 ft Berkley cherrywod HD medium heavy

1 - 6.0 ft Berkley cherrywood HD medium heavy

1 - 6.0 ft Berkley cherrywood HD medium rod

1 - 6.6 ft Abu garcia Orra sx combo rod medium heavy

1 - 7.0 Abu garcia Veritas medium heavy

 

Reels

 

Abu Garcia Orra2 SX 6.4:1

Abu Garcia Orra2  SX 7.1:1 (i will probably sell this one)

Abu Garcia Revo SX 6.4:1 (just bought it)

Abu Garcia Revo STX 8.0:1

Ab Garcia Revo MGX 7.9:1

 

i like soft plastics most of the time but crankbaits too also swim jig

 

What i want to is the best set up for each bait i know most of my rods are medium heavy

 

Need help to set them for the best combination, by the way i only use braid with them 30lb and 50 lb (for the MGX and the STX only), i also have a 30 lb fluorocarbon line package for leader

 

Thanks

1 - 6.0 ft Berkley cherrywood HD medium heavy Abu Garcia Revo SX 6.4:1 - Spinnerbaits/Bladed Baits/Swimbait

1 - 6.0 ft Berkley cherrywood HD medium rod Abu Garcia Orra2 SX 6.4:1 - Jerkbaits and Cranks 

1 - 6.6 ft Abu garcia Orra sx combo rod medium heavy Ab Garcia Revo MGX 7.9:1 - Jigs/Plastics          

1 - 7.0 Abu garcia Veritas medium heavy Abu Garcia Revo STX 8.0:1 - Pitching and Frogs

 

The only thing I'd tweak is to add a crankbait rod that is 7foot in length (moderate action) because I like more distance when I'm crankbait fishing.  I'd get rid of one of the Medium Heavy Rods if you don't want to carry too many (to replace with a CB rod).  This is my general observation and this is based on my local area body of water.  People can assist more if you can give more insight on your local fishing conditions.

Thanks, information is really helpful, i really prefer the 6.6 instead of the 6, do you think changin the 6 for a 6.6 affects? i just got the 6 ones to try smaller ones.

It will add a bit more distance yes.
