“Making the most” of my gear

Featured Replies

Hey all, I current have 5 rods/reels and am looking for tips on line/lure setups to best optimize everything. I’m not likely to buy more equipment anytime soon since all these I got just this last year or 2. Currently, because I like to select only 2-3 Rods per trip I have them all spooled the same way for versatility; light braid (15-20 lb) to a flouro or mono leader. Sometimes using 25ft leader for stretch when I want to crank. But I realize this is not so great. 

I mainly fish either from the bank or in a pontoon float tube.

 

Spinning;

1. *** 7’1” MLxF paired with diawa exceler 2000 (straight 8” fluorocarbon on this one). Use mainly weightless or split shot rigs. 

2. g-rods game changer 7” Mf paired with Daiwa BG 2500 (braid to 10” flouro) Use for shakiehead, t-rigs and smaller spinnerbaits. 

 

Baitcasting:

1: g-rods game changer 7” MHf with 8:1:1 tatula ct100x (braid to 15 lb mono or flouro) For heavy (.75-1.5oz) topwater and lipless cranks, jigs and C-rigs. 

2. Tatula 6’10” Mxf With another 8:1:1 tatula (sv TW) with braid to flouro or mean green hybrid mono [or my Revo Rocket 9:1:1, rairly] for pretty much everything 1oz or less eg lighter topwaters, Spinners, t and c rigs, jigging spoons small cranks (on a slower reel). Often switch to a slower reel (8:1, still too fast, but it’s what I’ve got)

3. Tatula 7”3’ MHR (my only real cranking rod, which I end up rarely using because it’s less versatile) paired to one of the 8:1:1 tatulas with braid to mono (15-25 ft leader). For spinners and cranks (wish I had gotten a 6:3:1 but wasn’t thinking straight I guess). 

 

Suggestions? Line choice in particular but any thoughts would be appreciated!

 

thanks

Josh
