OK yall,

Im fishing the  "BFL"  this year and I want to pair my rods down to 5 rods as the Co-angler... Please help me with what rods i should take and what i can use them for.... I getting a headache from thinking about this and really need some other opinions..... please give all the help you can!!!!

Here are my thoughts::

7'MH Diawa - Pitchin plastics/Jigs

7'M Bionic Blade - Spinnerbaits/Topwater

7'MH Diawa - Carolina rig/Frogs

6'6"M Crankinstick - Cranks/Flukes/Lipless

6'6"MH . Spinning Combo - Shakey/Senko's/Wacky

  :-? :-? :-?

I have fished the BFL as a co-angler and I think you got it about what I carried.  One thing I did though, was to take up to 10 rods and all my plastic boxes with me.  Then after meeting your boater go back to the room that night and sort through what you'll need the next day based on what your boater is going to do.  Your boater will determine whether you fish deep, shallow, fast, slow, etc.  Get it down to one tackle bag and don't forget things like your terminal tackle, line, sunscreen, pliers, scissors, and even your hand held scales.  You never know when your boater will have an equipment malfunction.

You've got the whole water column covered and the right rods to do the job.   Thats what I'd bring.

Good luck
