Before dropping some bucks on a new rod, try doing the shaky head on fluoro and see if you can tell a difference. I feel like mono floats a little and that's going to be the last thing you want when doing a shaky head presentation.

I prefer "Gammie." Big difference.

It all sounds good to me! The Mojo rod could be longer or MH if you want but your pick sounds just fine. It covers everything you mentioned and you could even use it for frogging and carolina rig. Your second rod looks fine also. Plus you wouldn't want to put fluoro on that rod if you're using it for spinnerbaits. I might even go up to 17 lbs test. I don't really care for mono tho if you're tossing soft plastic stickbaits. Small tackle setup - looks good but why 4 lbs line? I'd do 7-8 lbs fluoro and use it for shaky head, drop shotting, & wacky worming. Personally, I would also get some 20 lbs fluoro for that first setup and play with that and see which you prefer. I think the fluoro has more practical uses like swimming jigs, stickbaits, soft paddle swimbaits and heavy swimbaits.

How's your club managing? How many members do yall have? The website looks great!

Shoooweeee, yall drop some bucks.

Hey anglers. I picked up fishing about 2 months ago and do my fishing in either the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area or around Richmond. I'm looking to buy a boat soon - I love it so much. --VaTech

Hah yes, perhaps it is. Might be better to parse the techniques into separate topics of their own.

I've seen a few threads on topics where people post their setup in a thread about a given technique and other threads asking if their equipment can cover every technique, etc., but no comprehensive list of what everyone uses. Let's hear your rod/reel/line setup for: 1) Flipping 2) Carolina rig 3) Spinnerbait 4) Frogging 5) Drop shotting 6) Shaky head 7) Swimbait 8) Crankbait 9) Weightless plasics 10) Jig fishing 11) Texas rig For each, specify your: 1) Rod length and power 2) Reel model & manufacturer 3) Line type, test, & manufacturer
