If you made a bet to go into a random lake blind, with only having 3 rods at your disposal, which ones would you take? What style fishing would you put your money on?
Light plastics on light jig heads...(3" sluggos on 1/16 oz non-lead jig heads) only need 1 medium light spinning rod.
7mhf jig rod, 7mf plastics rod, 7mhmf cranking rod
My senkos, with light line
A jig on braid
A lipless on floro.
I really would be the most dependant on my senko
Spinning rod. 7ft med.
Squarebill rod 6'6"medheavy.
Jig rod 7ft. Medheavy.
Put money on beating the bank cover with the squarebill or jig. Maybe go off shore a bit with a carolina rig. I feel I can fish any style or any lake with these rods.
7'10 jig and tube rod- medium, 7'6 flippin stick-heavy, 7'2 finesse spinning rod- med light extra fast. Tubes, shakey heads, dropshot, and jigs!
I'd bring my:
7'2" mh/xf for jigs,hollow body frogs, weighted plastics.
7' mh/mf for squarebill cranks and soft plastics.
6'9" mh/f for spinnerbaits and small swimbaits.
Going in blind I'd pound any and all shallow water cover I can find.
If you only had one arm but three legs and it was Saturday, but the third Saturday of the month, on your birthday and you only had half a rod and no lure what sunscreen would you use?

In the spring (pre-spawn), my choices would be a jerk-bait, lipless crankbait/spinnerbait and a jig. Using the same rods during post spawn through fall, A tube jig/stick worm, crankbait/topwater and a jig. In the fall it would be a soft plastic jerk bait/tube jig, spinnerbait/buzzbait and a jig. There was a time back in the day when I only used one rod, but as my selection of baits and presentations grew, I found it easier and more beneficial to have my gear a little better matched.

Blind?
I guess the first rod would be a white one with a red tip! Almost sure that neither of the others would have a bobber.

Shimano Crucial 7'0 with a shakey head, Helios with a worm or a light craw, and gotta take something for a spinnerbait probably a st Croix med action 7+ footer. But come on who only takes 3 rods?!?!?
1 7'3" MH/f jigs and plastics
1 7' M/M for cranking
1 7' M/F for finesse
My three st croix rods. Ml fast m fast and mh extra fast. Soft plastics, jigs, anything with a treble hook. Depending on the time of yeary bet would be on soft plastics. First worms, then flukes and finally craw fish. I bump or sink worms. Swim and jerk flukes doodle craw fish. That would be the three techniques I would bet you can catch fish on any water on this country with if I had to choose one setup to use.
7'MHF St.Croix Avid for all my bottom contact baits and some moving baits, a 7'MHM St.Croix Avid for cranks, and a 6'10ML St.Croix Legend spinning rod for finesse work.
