I went a little overboard getting into the hobby and now I have way too many things lol..

I have:

3 ultralight reels and rods:

Whuppin stick light combo – love the rod esp bc it's 2 piece, reel kinda trash… They say it's light and don't sell an ultralight but it's UL rated.. 6lb mono

Shakespeare ultralight 5' 6" 1 piece with a shimano 1000 and 8lb braid

South bend 4' 6" ultralight with a shimano 500 and 8lb braid.. my personal fav that's caught my PB smallmouth I posted a pic of

2 baitcaster setups:

Abu Garcia vengeance 7' rod with a vengeance baitcaster and 30lb braid

6'9" vengeance rod with an old quantum ps401cx (sometimes I put it on my 8' casting rod) but I don't know if I just suck or if these reels suck.. I never use them bc after an hour or two I''ll nest bad and definitely can't use them with gloves on

4 medium rods:

Ugly Stik gx2 6'6" combo with the ugly stik 4 bearing reel (doesn't feel bad, never lined though)

Ozark Trail OTX spinning combo 7ft. Honestly this rod and reel feel amazing but I haven't spooled it up yet. The 3000 reel however feels incredibly smooth and it's my favorite, I just hate mismatching combos and it would be hard to move in my car

Ugly Stik gx2 7' combo with a lews American hero 300.. reel feels okay, not sure as this is my newest setup

Ugly Stik lite pro 6' 8-17lb rating with a pflueger summit xt 4000 and 15 lb braid… Haven't used much, was gonna be my pier rod until I got the below.. reel was my favorite and used to be on a medium 7' whuppin stick

Berkley catfish big game rod 8' and a shimano 4000dd quickfire II and 50lb braid.. this is my pier rod, have only had it out once but it felt great.

A 6' shakespeare excursion with a quantum kt20 PTiB and 10lb braid

Rods only:

Whuppin stick 7' medium

Old ugly stik with no ratings on them due to rubbing off, seem to be 7'..

Another old gx2 6' 6" USSP662M

What would you guys be putting together or taking out most often with these?? I feel so bad that most don't really get used, haha..

My understanding is the gx2 and the american hero or the ugly stik lite pro and the pflueger are my best setups, but I'm genuinely unsure. Thanks for the help!!
