One rod...one reel...five baits..let's here your opinion!!!

[Bassnajr]

Hey all and hapy Holidays to everyone here on BassResource.com !!!

OK hope to get a lively discussion going....

You have been selected to fish with one of the Elite Series Pros. A few conditions though..... You will not know where you are going to be fishing (part of the country, type of lake/pond, etc.) and further, you can take only one rod, one reel, and only FIVE BAITS!!!

With all the experience on this forum, I look forward to the answers!!!
