Interesting. Here's my Fort Lauderdale routine, for good weather fishing:
1. 7' live bait rod with 30-40lb for fishing deep baits off a downrigger.
2. 7' live bait rod with 20-30lb for surface baits
3. 7.5' semi-collapsable live bait/sabiki rod -- usually with a sabiki on it all day.
4. 7' knife jigging rod with 40-50lb braid
5. 7' knife jigging/slow pitch rod 30lb braid
6. 7' knife jigging rod with 80-100lb braid for pulling groupers and big AJ's away from wrecks.
Although Pilchards(an anchovy sized fish) are usually available, I typically focus of fishing 8"-16" baits such as goggle eyes, Blue runners, Speedos and Little Tunnies. If I get sufficient bait in the morning, rods 1-5 are always used. Rod 6 requires a slack current and a larger bait and is often left out if I don't think the right conditions will be present.
