If you were limited to only 3 rods/lures

[Oldfart9999]

You've got to be kidding, 3 outfits, really? I carry 4 for perch fishing for the crying out loud.
!. cranking stick for cranks, jerks, heavier soft jerks, spinnerbaits
2. jig/worm/tube/creature
1&2 are baitcasters
3. spinning outfit for finesse, soft jerks, lite jerks and cranks
I would certainly have a lot more room on my deck.
