Back in the game. New rods... Now what to do with them?

[Rolltide09]

Needs some advice. After messing around in the saltwater thing for a while I have an itch to get back into bass fishing. Seems like its been so long since I have really thought about anything bass wise that I haven't a clue to how I want to setup my rods. What would y'all do with the equipment listed below? I will say that I do not fish cranks or anything with trebles for that matter unless its topwater. Never been my thing really. Mostly prefer techniques like, t-rigs, jigs, shaky, weightless, wacky, topwater and spinnerbaits. 

 

 

Reels:

(3) Shimano Curado 50E

(1) Shimano Curado 200E7

(1) Shimano Stradic 2500 Ci4

 

Rods:

Dobyns DX742C 

Dobyns DX704C

Dobyns DX744C

St Croix Avid 66MF Casting

St Croix Avid 68MXF Spinning

I'd go fishing for a month, and not answer my phone...

You have 1 spinning reel and 1 spinning rod. Remember that those should be paired together and the rest should fall in place.

 

Your 200E can saddle the 744 to help balance it and the rest of pieces will fall be just pairing what is left.

 

Welcome back to bass fishing. In case you don't know there have been several Shimano reels released since your "E" series. Some like them and some do not. You will find that among the die hard "E" series guys you can still sell those reels for a respectable amount.
