Man, you must luv GLoomis, am I right ?  

Hey MN Basser, why just 3 ? now if you told me I could only choose 3 rods then they would be:

1.- GLoomis IMX CR723

2.- GLoomis IMX CR721

3.- GLoomis IMX SJR722

Now the problem arises with which reels, with more than 20 BCs from where to choose plus another 10 Spinning reels I would really have some trubble choosing which reels would go.

[KU_Bassmaster.]

If I am going with a buddy I usually just take 3 set ups. If I am going solo I usually take more like 6 or 7, but those extras are just pretty much duplicates of the first 3.

1. Shimano Scorpion 1000 Mg on a St Croix Legend Tournament 68MXF <----- This is combo I would pick if I could have just one. It can do it all, but I mainly use it for finesse baits.

2. Shimano Curado 100D on a soon to be Loomis IMX 844C

3. Team Daiwa Advantage 150P (5:1) on a St Croix Premier Crankbait rod

[Fishing Doug]

These 3 are ALWAYS on the deck:

Loomis MBR783 IMX with TD-Z 105

Loomis CBR843 with TD-Z 100

Loomis SJR843 with 2500 Stradic Mg.

It depends. During the week, I usually have my "trunk" rods for convenience and to minimize the prospect of having my one piece rods (true bass rods) from being stolen in the car. I usually have in the trunk during the week:

6'6" M Casting Shimano Clarus with Curado D, 12# Yozuri

6'6" MH Spinning Shimano Compre - Symetre 2500, 8# Fluroclear

7' UL Okuma Celilo spinning, Abu Garcia 101a Cardinal, 6# Trilene XL

(All Two Piece by necessity and convenience)

On the weekends, I break out my one piece rods:

7' ML Lamiglas Certified Pro Drop Shot Special Rod, size 20 Rapala 6Sxi spinning reel (Drop Shot/Finesse)

6'10 MH Shimano Crucial, Curado D (Jigs and Worms)

6'6" M Lamiglas Competitor, Curado BSF or Cardiff 301A (All arounder, cranks, jerk baits, senkos, etc.

I am shorebound so I limit myself to 3-4 rigs and this homemade apparatus allows me to carry my rigs with one hand.

[grimlin]

1.  Daiwa Steez 2500  with GLoomis GLX 7'1" X Fast Action Medium Power Senko Rod with 8 lb Berkley GOLD Transition Fluorocarbon - Used for Texas Rig Senko and Wacky Worming Senko Fishing....This is like my American Express, I never leave home without it.  It actually has dinner with me some nights.

2.  Daiwa Steez 2500 with GLoomis GLX 6'8" Extra Fast Action Med-Hvy Power Jig and Worm Rod with 8 lb Berkley Gold Transition Fluorocarbon - Used for Weighted Tubes

3.  Quantum Tour 6.3:1 with GLoomis 7' Fast Action Med/Light Action Crank Bait Rod with 10 lb Trilene XL Mono - Used for shallow Crank Baits and Top Waters

4.  Same Exact as above but with 10lb Berklet RED Transition - For Deeper Cranks.

5.  Quatum Tour 7.1:1 with GLoomis 6'9" Extra Fast Action Light Power Spinner Bait Rod with 10lb Berkley RED Transition - Used for Spinner Baits

6.  Quantum Tour 6.3:1 with GLoomis GLX 7' Fast Action Medium Power Mag Bass Rod with 10 lb Berkley RED Transition - Used for Jigs

These rigs may not be for everyone but they work for me pretty well.  I did just order an E21 Carrott too but haven't gotten it yet.  Not sure how much I'm going to like it I'm normally a Loomis kinda guy.  Just to show how anal I can be I use the RED and GOLD transition but 8 lb is alwasy GOLD and 10 lb is alwasy RED.  If I use a heavier pound test I would know what to do and my head would explode so I only use 8 and 10.
