rods and lure selection

[muskiemike]

How many rods do you have rigged in your boat, and with what types of lures for spring, summer, and fall? Thanks a bunch.

I have more rods rigged today then when I first started but that's a matter of convenience not of necessity. I think that one could get by depending on the depth of the lake with 2, 1 trolling 1 casting.

I carry 3 rods rigged and ready.
6'9" St, Croix rod,6500 C3 loaded with 65lb.test Tuff line [I think].
I use this rod for jerkbaits and deep diving crankbaits.
6'3" Bass Pro Shots rod,6500 C4 with 50# Cortland Spectra.
I use this outfot for small jerkbait, spinnerbaits, shallow[smaller] crankbaits and topwaters.
7'6" Bass Pro Shops heavy action flipping stick,5500 C3 with 30# Spectre
I use this with lighter minnow baits, lighter buzz baits, and lighter spinnerbaits. It's just a nice rod for throwing lures like a Super Shad Rap or 1oz. Mepps. Works good with as a twitch bait rod.

Generally three poles ready to go .
One for throwin' Hair/cranks , the next for jerks/glides and a
third rigged with a small minnow/twitch or a topwater.
The lures will change - time of year/lake/location/weather and
light level,all factors in lure type but , three are always loaded.
