Hi Guys,

I need your expertise and opinions. In the two weeks I've been a member I realize there are no shortage of either on this site. I'm grateful I found it, I've really learned how much I don't know.

My question is this, help me match up, sale off, or add to my rod/reels for the proper application. Here's what I have and intend to use them for, please give feedback for what you do or not do. Thanks in advance.

All Star Emerad 6'6: Med Heavy/Fast/ Shimano Curado 200 dhsv 7:0:1 ratio Plastics/Jig/Spinner

Cabela's Fish Eagle II 6' GCII 602/Abu Garcia Revo S 6:2:1 ratio            Not Sure

All Star Emerald 7', Moderate/Medium/Quantam Baitcaster 5:0:1 ratio       Crankbaits

Cabela's Fish Eagle II 6'6" GCII 663/ Shimano Citica 6:2:1 ratio             Plastic/Jigs/Spinner

Scheels IM6 6'6" Medium Spinning/Scheels Spinning Reel                        Drop Shoting

Thanks for your help, heading for Lake Fork in two weeks and will appreciate your help.

Combo #1 will be a good set-up for jigs, plastics and most spinnerbaits.

Combo #2 looks to be a 2 power 6' rod.  Sounds like an excellent topwater, hard jerkbait and small crankbait rod.

Combo #3 will be fine for crankbaits.

Combo #4 looks to be a 3 power, so it should be fine for casting jigs, soft plastics and smaller spinnerbaits.

Your spinning combo will be very versatile with small plastics, tubes and finesse jigs.

The only rod I would reccomend adding is a 7' heavy for Carolina rigging, frog fishing or flipping.

Am I trying to make a rod do something it was not built for.  Do I need to replace any piece?
