I have 3 Rods that I have 5 reels that could go onto them. Applications needed is a D10 setup, Mag Dawg/possibly Pounder Setup, and just a "anything smaller" setup.

Rods are: St. Croix Legend Split The Jerk
St. Croix Legend Split Big Nasty
St. Croix Legend Full Long Ranger

Reels are: Shimano Calcutta 400 D
Shimano Calcutta 400 B (2 of these)
Shimano Curado 300 E
Shimano Curado 300 EJ

Thanks for the help!

I was in a somewhat similiar situation with 4 rods and reels (jerk, pounder, bucktail, buddy rod), i didnt use them all personally and ended up keeping my big nasty for everything except really big baits (i know people who have used the nasty for big rubber) I went with a big dawg, both have nacl 5.4 but might try a hs for the rubber rod. The nasty is a very well rounded rod imo. Not sure how much this randomness helps.. the rod I have for my wife or a buddy is a gloomis steel 25, which might be my favorite bucktail rod I've used. It is suppose to be close a long ranger blank from what Lonnie told me when I was looking for another similar blank since gloomis doesn't sell them anymore.

St croix jerk + 300E
St croix long ranger + 300EJ (up to double 8s)
St croix nasty + 400D

I'd probably go with...

400d on the big nasty- 10's, plastics and just about everything else
400b on the jerk- jerkbaits, walk the dogs, plastics
300ej on long ranger- smaller stuff and top waters

if you did this you'd be set up to immed seamlessly switch in a 400b or a curado if your rod reel had even a miner problemo. couple of duplicate spare reels pretty handy, keep you on the water, fishing the way your fishing, presentation etc.
