So these are the rods I picked up -

MBR844 GLX

BCFR894 GLX

MBR783 GLX

Got a great deal on them new, shipped, no tax.

I also picked up a new Revo SX HS for a smokin' deal on ebay for my new flippin' stick.

I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Great sticks there! Interested to know how that 894 works for you. I am looking at getting a longer rod for flipping and not sure what to get. Enjoy them all.

I actually wanted the 7'6 Flippin Stick, but they were all out. So I settled for the 7'5.  I will definitely let you know after this weekend.

Here are the three rods I think will serve you well:

GLX BSR852 - This think is an amazing spinning rod and can handle all finesse techniques (shakyhead, drop shot, flukes, smaller senkos, etc). Out of all the G Loomis spinning rods I have owned, this one is the most versatile. (I would suggest a Pflueger Supreme Spinning Reel as the reel you are going to pick up later).

GLX MBR783C - This rod can handle all your topwater, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, crankbaits, smaller soft plastics, and senkos. I would match your Revo SX up with this one.

GLX MBR844C - This rod can handle all your heavy cover applications like frogs, jigs, & soft plastics. You cold also use this for small swimbaits. I would match this up with your Calcutta.

if i could only keep 3 of my rods, it would be these 3.

the bcr803 is also a great rod for 3/8oz jigs and soft plastics

I am going to pick up the GLX BSR852 for Christmas.

Great choice!  You picked some fine sticks there...  Congrats

Hey if it wasn't for you guys, I couldn't have finer suggestions.

Others have addressed the rod issue. So I will mention line. Gradually I have switched to fluoro for all under water presentations except Crigging where I use braid with a fluoro leader. For surface and shallow presentations I use mono which I will use on spinner baits from time to time.

The lakes I fish are very clear with little cover except for rocks.

Hey thanks for that suggestions, I have had multiple people tell me that, so I guess it does hold true. Can't wait to test my rods tomorrow!
