That was 20 years ago!!!the new glass hybrids like the 2021 Megabass Tomahawk are the kings of deep cranking.

Makes perfect sense

Yes sir it is....Simply made a comment on how much I DONT use my crankbait rods.

Im a Chatterbait / Carolina / Texas rig guy 99% of the time

Your SoCal like me! I fly to Texas for tournaments.....have yet to fish a California lake

USMC 1992-1996 Assaultman 0351

I use the .... Megabass tachyon shaft Megabass Super destroyer And a couple of Zbones

I have many Zbones and the "feel and reel" for chatterbaits....I own the Megabass "Madbull" and the Megabass Tomahawk F4-71T 2021 "ultimate cranking rod" for my cranking applications.

I got the zbone rods at 300 each. Some of these rods will stay in California....some will stay at my sisters Lake Fork home....I am looking at a Feel n Reel for chatterbait. Thanks for the input!

Nope...but the OP states that I want to have fun with my new rod and reel collection and am interested in the matchup opinions of other anglers......I have 35 years bass fishing experience with rods, reels and lures.But never had more than 2 combos at any given time. I Have never put together technique specific combos to cover a pro style series of fishing. You are correct though in your statement. Thanks

I have 2 spools each of seagaur Tatsu 8# and 12#. And 2 spools each of 20 and 40# Smackdown already. I will order the other #.....Thank you so much for your help. I was thinking the same thing.....perfect

Thank you....very stressfull to try and go high end on your first outing.

Thanks brother...I only paid 300 each for the Zbones......and full price for the rest. I am excited to have this opportunity. I have enough time before Memorial weekend to figure out the basic setups for that week. Then evolve from there.

Im sorry for late response...24 hour shifts at work. I am from Texas and reside in So Cal (for now)...I have new gear and started a new more informative post. In the forums

Long time shore bass fisherman fishing my first bass tournament at Lake Fork in Late May as a co-angler on my brother-in-laws boat who is an avid tournament angler. (He has made his opinion known on gear choices) I have aquired some equip over the last few months to start my multi-combo journey. Let me know how you would pair up this equip that I have purchased and use it in the tournament and make recommendations on pairing and usage. (I still need a few reels and am open to rod changeouts) I am a blue collar guy that has saved some pennies and has found a love for enthusiast level gear. This is just a fun topic to learn something and make some new fishing friends. Thank you in advance.
