Many beginner fishermen try to utilize one rod and reel combo for all Fishing situations. This is not a good idea. There are an unlimited whole of scenarios that corollary the permissible rod, reel, and Fishing line choice. Below we will discuss two common situations that characterize to freshwater Fishing.
Different types of lures want specific tool combinations. Lipped crank baits that dive deep would be the excellent opportunity for a long 7 foot + heavy action rod in order to give the essential resistance and hook setting power needed when you get a bite. A crank bait is best when fished with a baitcast reel because of their stamina and high speed retrieval. When fishing a crank bait it is also a good idea to use a heavier test rated fishing line. Many fishermen use 20-25 lb test monofilament line, and some use even higher when you average in braided line which has a higher breaking drive with a smaller diameter.

If you are fishing a soft plastic bait, like a Texas rigged worm, it is a good idea to used a medium action rod with a medium weight fishing line. A medium weight fishing line would be a line with a breaking drive of in the middle of 14-20 lb. The imagine for this is because any type of soft plastic lure in this kind is a form of finesse fishing. When fishing a Texas rigged plastic worm you need to be able to feel the fish as it bites the lure. With the lighter fishing line it tends to be more sensitive and you feel every microscopic bump. The imagine for the medium action rod is to give you enough drive to drive the point of the hook into the fishes mouth while at the same time having enough flexibility so you don't pull the lure clean out of the fishes mouth. A medium action rod gives you a good feel when finesse fishing and enough backbone to horse that big bass out of the grass or brush and get him in the livewell.
These are just a merge of the situations the might arise that would want a fisherman to have more than one rod and reel combo in the boat. So, before you head out on your next fishing trip think about what type of fishing you plan on doing then make your rod, reel, and fishing line selection according to the type of fish you are targeting.
