Trying to effectively pair some of my stuff to specific techniques those being: Ned rig Trig bladed jig/lipless cranks/spinner I don’t fish swimbaits or top water much but like to carry 4-5 combos so not opposed to hearing any advice on said things. Aird MF 7 1/4-3/4 (current Ned Rod) Aird MHF 7 1/4-1oz Dobyns fury MHF 7 FR703C 1/4-3/4 Duckett Micro Magic Pro 7MHC Lews Mach 1 Speed stick MHF 7’2 3/16-1oz Silver max Medium 6’6 1/4-5/8 Promax 7.1:1 Tatula 100 6.3:1 Mach 1 7.5:1 Tatula SV 7.1:1 Plan to be Ned Reel Silver max 6.4:1

Looking at upgrading/exploring new products. The current arsenal: All Baitcasting Mach 1 combo (Jigs and worms) mach 2 rod w/ Mach 1 reel (chatter baits/cranks) Pro max with Daiwa Aird X (Using for Ned rigs currently) And have a Tatula 100 6.3 reel that I need a rod for. Looking to pick up 1-2 reels and 2-3 more rods. Looking to be under/around $500 Preferably no one item at or above $200 primarily throw Texas rigged baits and Ned rigs. Don’t throw cranks to often but do throw chatter baits. Not really brand specific but as far as reels go think I’d like to stay in the Daiwa/Lews/Shimano group. Been looking at the LFS more Tatulas and Shimano all I hear is good things but have no idea what I’m looking at with them. Hearing good things about the SLX Rods I like the Aird X so far maybe bc the price is good but been intrigued by duckett and hear Dobyns mentioned a lot...but open to advice. The skeet Reese McGill stuff is on the cheaper end on some sites right now but don’t know anything about it
