Below is the type of rods I want to have setup 100% of the time. So I am looking for your thoughts on what length they should be and if they should be h,mh,m,etc. I plan on buying these 17 new rods. If you think I am missing a setup that I should also always have setup, please add your input
1. Frog
2. Topwater ( Zara spook, ribbit, skinny dipper, buzz bait, etc)
3. Spinnerbait/chatterbait
4. Jerkbait
5. Senko
6. Swim jig
7. Squarebill
8. Carolina rig
9. Texas rig
10. Flipping pitching jig
11. Wacky worm (spinning rod)
12. Fluke ( spinning rod)
13. Shakey head ( spinning? or baitcaster?)
14. Punching
15. Rattletrap
16. 5xd 6xd crank baits
17. Drop shot (spinning)


Take this list to Ron @ Reel time Rods @ Lake Fork (Popes Landing) and let him build you the rods. He makes the best ever drop shot rod. You will be able to use the same rod for some of the techniques you listed but you still will need several to cover all the techniques you listed.

Ron made me 2 of the most beautiful custom rods I could ever ask for: BOOMER & SOONER !!!!!!
he will make you whatever you want & to your specifications

True but who wants to keep tying on different baits all day long. I certainly do not, plus one rod will not work effectively for all the techniques he has listed.

To the people that responded thank you very much I appreciate your input. I am also open to hear more people's thoughts to the question!
I will look into the st croix website also, thanks.
As far as less rods, no thanks I don't like to dig and tie different things up when out.
As far as budget, it doesn't make sense to me why that was brought up. Just looking for everyone's thoughts on length and action.
To the ones that answered, thanks again. I really do appreciate it.
Please don't waste time referring people/brands/budget. I am not looking for any of that.

Now all you have to worry about is how many different rods you need to cover the color spectrum when the green fish get finicky.
