I Gotcha Wolf.....I understand what your saying. I personely like to fish or try and fish every avenue there is, including bottom fish and I know many of us do. I would have alot more combo's then I do now if I thought I realy needed them.

For many years I fished with off the shelf rods that did the job time and time again, as I learned more I found my tools wheren't as affective as the guy next to me, so I had to change. But from what I see there are many blanks and reels that can handle several jobs good enough that I feel confident with those set- ups. Knowing everyone can't afford top on the line tackle, if you could, I think you could get away with even less amount of set-ups.

Sounds like you understand the big picture with rod building, its an always learning hobbie but it doesn't have to be complicated. Like others have told me and I beleive, " We don't have to be the AL Goldbergs of the world"...or better yet..."fish don't read books"

I personely like glass rod for eels......throw me jail.
