What is your preferred choice for a set up when it comes to bass fishing?

Most of my rods are BPS rod/reel combos. 6 1/2 to 7 foot medium heavy action.
And cant forget the trusty old abu spinning reel for light line baits.

Bought a Pinnacle Solene from Wally World a couple weeks ago for $50. Seems like a good reel for the price. Put it on a 6 1/2 foot Abu Conolon medium action rod. Seems like a good setup so far but I've only used it 3 times. Other than that, I've got some 10 year old Quantum baitcasters I've kept working like a dream with reel magic. I always keep a light spinning rod rigged for crappie in the boat too. I mainly fish minnow swim baits and flukes for bass so when I catch the occasional crappie I've got my crappie rig ready and waiting because where theres one crappie, there's usually about 50 more.

Very True Josh, I liked that one because it was thin enough to still fit down into the boat compartment.But big enough to hold all my gear.I didn't want it out in the boat....I couldn't even find one I liked at BPS or anywhere else I looked. It might have been because I need a certain size...
