Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

 

It's sort of hard to tell exactly what's on your list there.  Looks like perhaps 4 rods & reels ?

Matching them up will depend on what type of cover you're fishing in FLA and what baits you're presenting.

Your line choice will also depend on this as well.

 

So what type of water (cover wise) are you routinely fishing and what baits do you fish the most?

The info you gave on the rods is a little lacking.  A Jay had the first question correct. What water conditions do you usually encounter * clear, cloudy, dark), do you fish shallow lures, mid depth and deep lures.  As for the rods there are 3 that say roughly the same 7 foot to 7 and a half foot medium heavy.  Are any of them moderate tapered ( If you bend the rod it bends to say 1/3 to 1/2 the way down the blank)?  Are any of them med fast *bend say the top 12 inches, or any that are xf meaning a short part of the rod is soft with lots of beef that ot transitions to.   If any are the xf tipped I might put the 8-1 metanium on it and try to throw frogs and pitch with it. So frogs, figs and even punch rigs here.  If none of the 3 mh are like that then the 8-1 Metanium would go on my heavy rod and I would pitch and flip with that rod. The rest does not matter except if you do have a medium moderate action rod because I would install the 7-1 on it and try to throw cranks with it. I prefer a 6-3 for small to mid sized cranks and a 5-1 for big deep ones. It seems like you may have too many identical rods. perhaps your next rods might be something you can throw jerkbaits, traps and cranks on.
