I think you list is pretty good, here is my opinion:

 

705cb....... pretty spot on here, and don't forget you can do jerkbaits too

 

734c...... spinnerbaits are a great choice. I would also throw buzzbaits on this one too. and trigs. I would have a buzzbait tied on in the morning and when topwater dies, tie on the spinnerbait or anything else you want.

 

735c.... frogs are great, but don't forget hollowbody swimbaits, jigs, 10in worms ect on this rod.... DO NOT throw deepdivers on this rod, it is going to wear you out if you do..... your 705cb is going to work , but you would really need to consider adding a deep diver stick in the future IMO

 

743dx....looks great and you can do rage rigs, splitshot stuff, flukes, and bunch of stuff really

 

744dx- anything 3/8th oz works good here... I would do the buzzbait on the 734 though

 

745dx....... the perfect 3/4oz jig rod..... big Trigs too!

 

766c..... big stick here..... punching, true flipping of grass mats, big trigs, jigs in heavy knarely cover.

TY for your input. As always i feel when i read info you & a few others share i can learn from it.. Thanks for your time.  As far as my mess of reels go do you have any suggestions or am i being to picky?

reels are reels......looks like you have quality ones so it is really whatever you want to do there.

 

I would however, make sure you put one of your Cores on the 743dx. It makes a fabulous combo and makes throwing the senkos an absolute delight!

TY Hopefully i can catch some bass like the ones in your picture.. I just noticed your from AR i go down there every year for a family reuinion my GPA was born and raised there. Have been going since i was born. Its actually were i fished for the first time.. When i was around 4 or 5 caught a catfish The family lives a little outside Pocahontas, AR. Anyway Thanks for the advice have a good night..
