I guess it depends where - and what - I'm fishing for!

These were the most used last year:

• BCR 893 GLX - t-rigged senkos
• NRX 893 JWR - wacky-rigged senkos (4" & 5"), cranks, light spinnerbaits (1/8 oz. - 3/8 oz.)

I'm waiting on the GLX 855 CBR which will take over cranking, and I now need a spinnerbait rod for 1/2 oz. blades. Maybe the 855 will work???? If it does, I'll remove the 893 GLX and add a drop shot / finesse spinning setup.

Three setups for my kind of fishing which is usually man made river run impoundments:

Dobyns DX795/CU100 B/65lb Sunline Braid - Flip/Punch/Frog/A-Rig/Small Swimbait

Dobyns DX784ML/CH100MG/25lb Tatsu Fluoro - Jigs, Texas Rigs, Spoons, Flukes, Riggin, Senko, Shaky head, skinny dipper

Dobyns 765CB Glass/CH100MG/15lb Tatsu - Spinnerbaits, Crankbaits, jerkbaits, lipless baits

If I only had 3 for natural, deep/clear water impoundments, I would substitute the Dobyns DX742S for the DX795 with 15lb braid/10lb Tatsu leader - shaky head, flick shake, 4" senko, dropshot, split shot, neko, etc.
