As far as location lets keep it local to where you live to help make the choice a bit easier. I live in WI so I am assuming it would be different for me compared to most!
I'm in Ohio, so we will be pretty close. I'd bring the most versatile rods I have...

LC Fat Mini - cranks, spinnerbaits
MB WP - bit topwater, cranks, swimbaits...moving baits too big for the LC
Custom Lami XMG50 LMB864 for contact baits

I like this thread. Thanks to whoever revived it.

1.) NRX 852C/Steez 105 LTD (my favorite combo)
2.) NRX843/Aldebaran
3.) NRX 854/ metanium (I got this instead of the 894 because I'm a short guy, those long rods are too much for me)
