How many do you take and what lures?
I`m talking about rods/lures. like I`m not happy unless I`ve got 8-10
rods lined up and ready to go. More rods in the rod locker, just in case.
Where I go, lakes or the St John`s river as it`s close to my house, really
dictates what hangs on the end of my line. Shallow /deep water.
Relative terms to say the least. Plus lots of grass/pads/ downed trees
and the ever present gator.
One of the reason I take as many rods as I do is because I don`t want to have to "tie" something on as the area/shore line changes. I just p/u a rod already to go and keep on chucking.
Some of the rods are for flipping/pitching. Some have floating worms with different colors. Some with shallow diving crank baits. The always present top -water bait. A Pop-R for sure. A couple of spinning rods. One always has a gay-blade hanging on it. The other with some sort plastic on it. At least 3 rods have spinner baits and of course braided line. Those I fish deep back in the pads/grass as this is the time of year the big girls are there and you need to be able to control and stay conected plus withstand the pad stems. Braided line will do just that.
One other set up that is really important for here, as else-where I`m sure is the Carolina rig. Don`t leave home with out one.
I know that different regions and types of water dictate different lure/rod combo`s so how do you guys gear up?
