Default Fishing Poles.....

St. Croix TWS68MXF (or AS68MXF)
St. Croix TBC68MXF
St. Croix TBC70MHF
St. Croix TBC70MHM

It's probably obvious that I like the St. Croix Tournament series of rods,
but I do like the Avid spinning rods too. I don't care much for the Avid
casting rods; I don't like the grip. The two 7 foot rods would be general
purpose rods, the spinning rod for drop-shotting and any other spinning
applications and the 6'8" casting rod for lighter plastics. I'd cap the
casting rods with Shimano Curado reels; 201s for the 7' rods and a 101 for
the 6'8" rod. I'd put a Stradic on the spinning rod.

Now....how bout that. When was the last time you heard any reference a
rod as a fishing pole. However, I am a transplanted Georgia redneck that
can never forget my roots.......

A serious question now. If you were limited to only four rods (or poles)
on your boat and were strictly fishing for bass, What would those rods be.
Please try to be as specific as possible. For example: For plastics -
G-Loomis GL2 spinning rod 6' 6" ML.

I ask because I intend to try something different this year on the ABA
draw trail. Being a non-boater, I want to try to expand my experience
fishing with a limited but well thought out selection of hardware. I know
there will probably be folks that say this is the wrong approach and I
should have the hardware necessary to adapt to any circumstances, but I
want to test my ability to adapt and catch fish with only four poles
(there....I said it again).

P.S. Of course, I will still need a fork lift to put my tackle bag in the
boat....... Thanks in advance for your guidance...
