I don't. I use all 3600 and was considering moving to a 3700 bag for non-boater tournaments.

I looked at this a bit ago and realized that it doesn't appear to come with any boxes. It's still a good deal, but once you fill it with boxes, it's not nearly as good.

Thanks for the responses. I guess what I was hoping for was a deeper dive into how you'd divide out the various reels. What would you spool them with to make each one work with a handful of different bait types? Do you bring extra reels/spools for different situations? Do you expect to cut and/or tie leaders on the boat when switching baits? Aside from preferring a 6' rod for top water (mostly spooks and poppers), I agree with the 4 other choices in principle. I recognize, however, that a 6' rod is good for walking spooks, but maybe not as good for using frogs over pads. In that regard, "top water" is a little ambiguous. Furthermore, maybe straight braid works for frogs in pads, but braid with a mono leader is preferred for spooks. In the end, I will definitely have to make decisions based on situation, as Delaware Valley Tackle suggested. But I also need to be as versatile as possible, given the uncertainty of each lake, boater, etc. Cheers. JB

OK, here's the deal. I've got a pile of rods, reels and gear available to me. The problem is that I will be fishing tournaments and can only bring 4-5 setups (depending on the boater). I'll fish any type of technique, but I don't prefer to use weightless plastics on a baitcaster. For rod length reference, I'm about 5'8". I would like (4) main setups and (1) "bonus" setup. I'll use straight braid, braid with leaders, fluoro only, etc. Please give me your best 5 setups, including techniques and line/leader setups*. Thanks.
