What are you going to do, when you decide to change baits, you're going to re spool your reel each time?  ;D

[HogHooker]

very funny, no, but i can fish any clarity or depth of water i want. take that in consideration and it doesn't sound like a bad idea, no i wouldn't change every time i change a bait but i would put a line on that would suite the conditions

One rod and 5 baits? That'll be impossible for any of us here! But, in the spirit of the question, mine would be as follows:   7' All Star med. spin, 3500 size reel, 8# clr/blue Trilene XL.            Baits would be-  custom 3/8 oz spinnerbait(white skirt/gold willows); Bandit shallow Flat Maxx (perch);Norman dd22(white/olive back);Culprit 7.25" ribbontail worm(grape) on a 1/4 oz. slider head; and a Dropshot with a 3"-3.5" fluke(alewife). Dang- that's hard to do. Happy holidays everyone and have a safe year.....

Almost perfect!

The only problem is you can only catch 5 bass over 10 lbs with those baits! Watcha goin' to do the rest of the day?
