A 7 foot medium light spinning rod for popping corks. 30 lb braid. Fast action tip to pop all day.

7 foot medium casting rod for 1/16-1/4 oz jigheads tight line, rattle traps, mirrolures, small cranks and top waters. 12 lb mono. Smooth parabolic action to keep those trout lips whole.

7 foot medium heavy casting rod for big topwaters, spoons, rattle traps, mirrolures, 3/8 or 1/2 oz jigheads. 15 lb mono. A little heavier for those larger lures.

8 foot medium spinning rod for sliding corks and bottom fishing. 40lb braid ( so i can outcast and annoy my partner lol)

i've since added a dedicated crankbait rod bc i love cranking reds but in all honesty i could make do without it. It's more of a convience thing having everything already tied up and not having to stop and retie.

great post!
