As most of you i assume just like me usually have 6-7 rods on deck at all time.. What all is tied on?

 For me its, texas rig, jig, spinner bait, crank bait, top water, shakey head, swimbait.

3) wacky

this year it will be

1) jig
2) chatterbait
3) frog
4) big swimbait
5) medium crank
6) wacky/shakey

1. Chatterbait
2. Squarebill/DT6
3. DT10
4. Texas rig/jig
5. Topwater (buzzbait)
 

Even though I usually always have 8-10 rods with me, those 5 are always tied up and ready to go. 

regardless of the mix, there's always 1 jig rod and 1 t rig rod ready to roll

Always some type of crankbait, a spinnerbait or chatterbait, and a Ned Rig.

I carry 6 rods with me on the boat, and depending on the season and or conditions this is what will be tied on each one:

Casting:

7'3" H power/fast action: Flipping and  big football jigs, Punch rigs, T-rigs , C-rigs

7' H/F: Frogs, swim jig, or chatter bait

7'3" MH/F (with a soft tip): Blade bait (silver buddy) squarebills, lipless cranks, mid-deep cranks.

7' MH/F: Power wacky, bubba shot, jigs/T-rigs around light cover

Spinning:

6'8" M/XF: Wacky rigs, shaky heads, jerkbaits, tubes/grubs, weightless plastics

6'10" ML/XF: Drop shot, flick shake, split shot rigs, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It depends on what lake I am fishing or what pond...Often I have softbaits and jigs on all my rods at times....

Ok. So time for my real answer. I always have a wacky rigged senko, a spinner bait, a square bill, a flipplin jig, and texas rig on. I usually have 14+ rods tied up, so  the other 9 or so rods change with the season. For example, early in the season I have multiple sizes, colors, rattles, no rattle lip less cranks on. 

This provides me with the ability to have my bread butter lures on that I can catch a fish on any day, any time of year. But also get pattern, season specific. It is my plan A and plan B. 

7 rods:

1. Squarebill
2. DT6
3. C-rig
4. Spinnerbait
5. Spook Jr.
6. Senko
7. Jig

7 is ENOUGH. If they won't bite THOSE 7 - they won't bite.

1. Jig for pitching and swimming

2. T-rig with beaver or craw

3. Spinnerbait 

4. Square bill 

5. Frog

6. Drop shot roboworm or wacky senko

1. Jig with a craw

2. T-rig for the bottom

3. Spinnerbait / Bladed Jig

4. Weightless Fluke or Senko

5. Crankbait / Rat-L-Trap
