Planning on sticking with using 3 setups all the time. 2 baitcasters and a spinning like the Rod Selection sticky suggested. 

 

7ft St Croix Triumph MF with a kastking 3000 sharky III -Spinning

7ft Berkley lightning Rod MHF with Daiwa Tatula CT 7:3:1 

7ft Fenwick HMG MM with ??

 

What type of gear ratio would I want with this third option? Would I want something faster than 7:31 or slower? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you're going with a moderate action rod, that suggests to me treble lures - crank and jerkbaits mainly.

So I'd go with a 6-ratio reel

 

My crank-rig is a Diawa Fuego CT in 6.3:1 on a Dobyns Fury 705CB MH/M

Thanks for the response! The sticky suggested a moderate action rod in the 3 rod arsenal so I figured id go with it. Does it matter if it is moderate fast or moderate slow?

There's not a huge difference between those - it's kind of like degrees...though I'd personally lean towards the Ms side than the Mf side.

Awesome. I hike too much to fishing spots to be able to carry more than 3 setups and a net lol.
