Over the years I whittled down my arsenal to only those I know I will need, given the way I like to fish and the waters I’m fishing. 
 

I have a deep diving composite combo that I only bring if fishing a tournament out of state.

I haven't taken the ML spinning rig, and the drop shot rig out of the basement yet this year.

Combos intended for bass, yes. All of my rod/reel combos, no. It'd look pretty silly fishing for bass with a 12' surf rod though. 

Yes. I only have 6 combos, though. 

I've caught bass on all 3 of my combos, as well as my wife's combo too.  

I have a new to me, big bait swimbait combo that's wearing the skunk.  I'm throwing it in the mix though, either starting or ending a location with some big fish optimism.  I'm doing my best to ignore it till the fall.
