Okay, I've been looking at the photo archives and reading the Best of the Best stickie and I have some questions that I didn't really find answers for. I realize the answers lean a lot toward personal preference but I'd appreciate input anyway.
I notice that many of you carry multiple rods on your rides and I would like to know what you carry and what you use them for. I'm interested in rod type and length, action and power, type of reel, and what fish you use it for. Right now I have a fast light 6'6" graphite spinning rod and reel that is great for the small streams I have been fishing but doesn't really work that well for longer casts on ponds and lakes, and I suspect is not adequate for larger fish. I also have and use a 9 ft. 5 wt. fly rod but for this post, I'm more interested in the bait/hardware side of things.
So what do you use?
Thanks for your input.
