Help with my set up

Featured Replies

Only been into bass fishing about a year, and with work don't go near as often as I'd like.  Early on I went out and bought a bunch of equipment, mostly inexspensive stuff.  Would you all mind letting me know what I'm missing, what baits you would use with each set up, and what I shouldn't be living with out?  

Current set up:  

3 Baitcasters: 2 6'6 MH (one 5.1:1 reel rat & other 6.3:1)  1 6'0 M with 6.3:1 reel ratio

2 spins:  Both 6'6 M action

Only thing I can think to would be a 7'0 cranking set up.......again, I'm pretty green so open to ALL suggestions!  

:o

Without knowing where and how you fish thats a pretty hard question to answer. You have the basics covered pretty well. Why not just fish for a while and figure out how to expand you equipment. The bait monkey will get you regardless

If you dont go every weekend and twice during the week I think that you have more than enough poles.  Looks to me like you are a fishing pole junkie.  Just go fish and have fun.  Last year I was invited to go fishing with a friend in his two person kayak.  We could only fit one pole per person and a small plano each for tackle.  I started putting all of my favorite lures in.  By the time the box was half full I had run out of favorite lures and didnt need anything else.  I guess what I am saying is I realised less is sometimes more.  (and I dont mind not carring around soo much stuff anymore.)  Have fun!
