Seventy five percent of my fishing is for bass and stripers out of the boat. Not that I wouldn't prefer to fish for trout and steelhead but this is what is readily available and I need to fish. When bass fishing I've got a bunch of rods similar to a bass master, all with different lines (floating, sinktip, fullsink) and flies. tha way I don't have to bother with switching lines or flies. Just throw the rod off to the side grab another one and start casting. Because of that I may use 6 different rods in a day. So thsi is what it looks like for me...
Bass, stripers, carp, salt.
Sage XP 9' 10 weight
Sage XI2 9' 8 weight
Sage RPL+ 9' 8 weight
Sage Bass 7'11" 290 grain
Loomis crosscurrent 9' 7 weight
Loomis xperiance 9' 6 weight
Crappie, bluegill
Berkley Phazer 8' 5 weight
Glenn Wicks 8' 4 weight
steelhead
Orvis Helios switch 11'6'' 6 weight (I only catch small steelhead)
Trout
Sage XP 9' 5 weight
Sage RPL+ 9' 4 weight (my personal favorite)
Locals
Winston IM6 7' 2 weight (second favorite)
After writing all this down I realized I used every rod I own this year and have pretty much every year I have had them. I do throw some 12 weights for Tarpon and 7 weights for steelhead but those are borrowed rods. Someday...

By the way Dr. I still don't have enough for a down payment on a truck, gotta keep the old one till it hits 500.
