Dobyn's Extreme 744C full handle.
Dobyn's Champion 736C

Megabass F4.5-70X4 Black Elseil
Megabass F5-68X4 Super Orochi

OR

Loomis MBR 844 GLX
Loomis MBR 843 GLX

I have no experience with Megabass...but the "Brothers Three" in the 7'0" MBR GLX series are absolutely proven.

[bronzefly]

Megabass F6-72X4 Destruction

Megabass F5-68X4 Super Orochi

OR

Loomis MBR 844 GLX
Loomis MBR 843 GLX
Loomis MBR 842 GLX

No NRX?

If I can ONLY have 3 rods, I want each of them to be as versatile as possible... I'm a big fan of the NRX rods but they excel at bottom contact stuff - the CRR 873 and the JWR 893 are my two favorites in the casting series. I almost picked the Evergreen Super Stallion, Megabass Slant Bridge Diablo, and the Megabass Slant Bridge Jabberwock.

I have no experience with Megabass...

We still have to fix that soon Van

I was able to handle Phiten's Destruction last week...it was very nice, but I am not so sure on the handle length and overall length...I am sure that the way it fishes will overcome any "shortcoming" of the overall length.

It would be nice to be able to fish both a PX Type R for jigs in the 5/16oz + trailer weight range (although I think this will be too light), 1.5 oz spinnerbaits, buzzjets and swimjigs, etc.

[phiten]

f6 69x superdestroyer
f5 70x superbandersnatch
f4 68xrc jabberwock

why these 3.
super destroyer for bottoms
super bandersnatch - for slightly heavier versatiles up to 1 oz
jabberwock - for smaller presentation up to 3/4 oz

[pharmboy]

SC LTB 7'8" big cranker MHM
SC Legend Xtreme 7' MF for finesse/swim jig
SC LTB 7' MHF for frogs/flippin/pitching

Where am I fishing? What time of year is it? And what type of cover is there?

That's a very good point.

Assuming we narrow this to our most likely lake and a general three that can be on the boat year round this is what I'd carry. My general body of water would be the Big O once I get that boat I've been searching for. Lol Right now I walk the banks and one rod does it all. Mostly the Cumara 711MHXF

Dobyns 867 - can throw lots of big wake baits or drag the rim canal with a Hudd 8 ROF 12 & 16
Cumara 711MHXF - can throw 1/2 oz spinnerbaits upto Hudd 68 ROF 12 (could also Punch & possibly Frog)
XBD Frog - can Frog and Punch (would prefer the Cumara 77H for Punchin)

I rarely throw anything lighter then 3/8 oz or use line thinner then 20# mono or 65# Braid so Finesse is not needed. Big lake for big girls with big sticks and big baits. Get bit big or go skunked, it's all good since I'm only chasing big individual fish versus big bag limits. Trophy hunting is simpler then tournament minded.

[USA-RET]

Megabass F6-72X4 Destruction
Megabass F5-68X4 Super Orochi
Megabass F4.5-70X4 Black Elseil

I like this selection.

[KlingerNOK]

Flip a coin between a Lamiglas MB841E and a Rich Forhan 726 for #1
An IMX 843 for #2
A Phenix UMBX 707H for #3

A few of you have wondered where you were fishing, time of year, etc. Lets play it as a mystery lake with a variety of cover, structure, and depths. As far as location lets keep it local to where you live to help make the choice a bit easier. I live in WI so I am assuming it would be different for me compared to most!
