Must have rods

[BassSam5]

What are your top 5-10 baitcasting rods that you need in your arsenal?

[JediAmoeba]

6'10" Medium Fast

7' Medium Moderate

7' 2" Medium Heavy Fast

7'4" Medium Moderate

7'6" Heavy Fast

7'10" XH Fast 

 

Gets me through everything I need and honestly i could cut a few of those out.  

[Dens228]

As in brand or ratings???

 

Mine are all MegaBass or St. Croix, I tend to bring more MH/Fast than anything else. 

Usually 3 MH/Fast, 2 M/Mod, and 1 H/Fast in my kayak.

Buy rods that fish whatever you use most.. What you need and what you think you need are 2 different things

[Matt_3479]

I would have to say 

 

852s nrx spinning 7’1” medium

7’ expride light + spinning

894c glx 7’5” heavy fast casting

884c imx pro heavy fast frog rod

853c nrx casting 7’1” medium heavy extra fast

845c cbr 7’ medium heavy moderate/fast cranking 

[r83srock]

7’1”mh fast 

6’8”mh fast

7’4” h fast

This does most I need to do, sometimes I’ll add a spinning rod or a medium baitcaster.

It seems I have...(counts rods)...12 baitcasting rods.

 

The ones I seem to use the most are:

6'4" M-XF

6'6" M-F

6'8" MH-F

6'10" MH-MF

7'5 MH-F

7'1" H-F

 

 

[new2BC4bass]

In no particular order...other than going down my rod list. 

 

6'6" MLM

7' Glass

7'1" MHF

7'2" MH+F

7' MLF

7' MLR

6'10" MF

6'10" MH-MF

7' MHF

7'2" MH-EF

7'2" MHF

 

I don't use it nearly enough, but I have a 6'10" HF that I really enjoy using when I do take it out.  Not a broomstick.  Nice tip.  I suppose I don't 'need' them all....I just think I do.
