Next arsenal addition?

[PBBrandon]

Well I’m currently content with my current setups. There are a couple of different directions I could go but I’m fine where I’m at now. Still, when a sale hits and I have the opportunity to upgrade I wanna be ready to pull the trigger and want to know what I’m missing out on and fill any holes I might have. So where would y’all go from here?

 

current setups:

 

Frog/big jig meat stick: 7’ HXF Abu Garcia Veracity w/ 8.5:1 Curado 200k & 65lb Power Pro braid

 

Moving baits 1/2oz+: Dobyns Champion XP 734c w/ 7.4:1 Curado 200k & 15lb Seaguar Basix FC

 

Jig/T-rig/bottom contact: 7’2” MHF Shimano Expride B w/ 7.1:1 Shimano Chronarch MGL & 15lb Seaguar Basix FC

 

Jig/T-Rig/Spinnerbait: 6’10” MHF Shimano Zodias w/ 7.1:1 Daiwa Tatula Elite & 15lb Seaguar Basix FC

 

Moving baits 1/4-1/2oz: 7’ MHF BPS JM Patriot w/ 7.5:1 Lew’s Custom SLP & 12lb Seaguar Basix FC

 

Crankbait/Jerkbait/popper: Dobyns Fury 705cb w/ 6.3:1 Shimano SLX XT & 10lb Trilene XL mono

 

Weightless senko/Shakeyhead: 7’1” MF BPS JM Platinum Signature w/ 7.3:1 Daiwa Tatula SV & 12lb Seaguar Basix FC

 

Spinning: Dobyns Kaden 712sf w/ 2500 Daiwa Fuego LT & 8lb Seaguar Invizx FC

 

I’m thinking either get a dedicated flipping stick, upgrade my cranking setup to a Champion XP, or upgrade my spinning reel to a Tatula LT or Vanford. What do y’all think?

This past winter I did one main rig purchase

 

Daiwa CA-80/Fury 765FLIP

 

Split flip/pitch/punch off of my heavy rig which is now strictly for frogging and larger topwater (Super Spooks, WP-110+, etc)

 

So I'd vote for a dedicated flip/pitch rig.

Two rods stick out for me.  A longer flipping stick, a Kaden 765 Flip and or a Champion 764CB RM.  Something along those lines in whatever brand choice you prefer.

Fishing.

You need to buy a combo designed to throw large swim and glide baits weighing 2-8 oz.  Then you will have an excuse to buy large swim and glide baits.  I'm just passing on what the Bait Monkey is trying to sell me on right now.
