I am planning on becoming more versitile and efficient. I am looking to purchase up to four more rods and three more reels. I really would like to have a dedicated frog rod that I might could use for flipping as well. A rod for topwater poppers and spooks. Of course a really good texas rig/jig rod is a must. And last but not least something that will work on cranks and spinnerbaits. I would like to get the best trig/jig rod I can afford. I have limited space since I fish from a kayak and carry two fly rods everywhere I go as well. My budget is going to be anywhere around $1500. I say only three reels because I have a spare STX laying around to utilize on one of the rods. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I have spent countless hours on TW switching items up in my shopping cart.

T-rig/ jig rod: BCR854 or MBR844C.

Both rods will match up perfectly

with your STX.

Topwater, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits:

St. Croix Avid AVC66MF

Crankbaits: Avid AVC70MM

The St. Croix Avid series is wonderful for the price. If you are going to purchase from Tackle Warehouse I would suggest waiting a couple of weeks as I have a feeling they will run a 15% off sale at some point. I have several St Croix Legends and several Avids, and for the money you can not beat the Avid (they also have a lifetime warranty)
