So I decided to sell off some pieces of my arsenal to try and "unclutter" my fishing addiction.I saw myself going nuts to build technique specific setups.The problem I found was being a bank fisherman.I have rods I want to use but cant,since I really don't want to carry 7 rods with me.To start I sold off my Gen 2 Black topwater rod to upgrade my beat up frog/pitching rod.I figured my 6'8" XF Mojo spinning rod would take care of the same presentations as the 6'7" MF caster.I have it down to 4 rods and carry no more than 3 at a time.

 

7'2" HF for frogs/pitching

7'1" MHF for jigs

6'8" MXF spinning for worms/topwater

7' MM for cranks

 

I'm sure I can use a couple of them to throw spinners/chatterbaits as well.Anyone else feel the need to downsize the arsenal?? Oh and be on the lookout,as my 8.1:1 reel from you know who and my 7.1:1 PQ1 may be hitting the for sale thread soon.

If you're a bank fishermen exclusively, you're already covered. 

I have 1 spinning setup, and 1 casting setup. I plan to add another budget mh/f, probably a moderate like a lightning shock for my treble hook baits and a kastking reel. 

Your fine unless you are trying to throw heavy top waters, swimmers and cranks.

If they are heavy, I use a heavier CB rod to handle such issues and pass on the M....

When I'm bank fishing, I'm moving around a lot, I usually only bring 1 or 2 rods. Less IS more.

I went from 15 combos To less than half that. 5 casting and 1 spinning. I can cover all my bases no matter if I'm on the bank,in my yak, or on a boat.
