Well, now that's the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks!
Now, is there anything you'd change about your rod choices?

I dont use a different rod to toss lipless versus lipped crankbaits,med or med heavy moderate slow action tip
crig med hvy moderate action tip
fast tip or moderate fast tip for topwater and med mostly
fluke same moderate fast tip and a med heavy
and the length of the rod also plays a role the longer the more limber generally
thus a 6 ft med in a moderate action can be the equal of a med heavy 7 ft 3 in moderate action
and what suitable for 6fter to toss from texas isnt for a 5ft

Ok, I see the list, but what power and action are each of the rods???
For many, the rod they use for crankbaiting is different than what they use for Texas-Rigging. And what gets used for frogging is totally different than the first two.
So if you've got those different rods, what power and action are they?
Awww hell I dunno.
Flipping stick is a broom stick Heavy and heavy
C'rig is moderate fast heavy
lipless crankbaits and fluke rods are extra fast -moderate
Crankbait rod 7' 6″ is a 9.99 Academy special – I can tie in a knott hard to cast though.
Other crankbait rod is the o'l David Fritts Browing model
One jig rod is medium fast – medium
Other jig rod is extra fast medium heavy
Spook rod is custom made spinning rod extra fast – medium heavy
Pop'R rod is fast – medium light
That there whut ya' lookin' for????

Ill go one farther its not only action of the rod but tip action as well.
frog rod med hvy or hvy moderate fast tip,crankbait rod meduim slow action tip
The same action even in same name brand of rods with different tip actions they do different things.
example medium with a medium or med hvy med fast tip spinnerbaits same medium rod with slower tip crankbaits
using the wrong rod often results in no hookset or a proper one
even topwater there are differences the horney toad wants a faster tip than say a floater due to the hookset immeadiately like a buzzbait and the floater one must wait and sidesweep

I got thinking about all the different rods that I carry whenever I go fishing and it got me thinking.
What rods do you carry for fishing?
Topwater lures
Frogging
Plastic worm fishing
Carolina Rigging
Swimbaits
Jigging (for walleye)
Jigging (for bass)
Spinnerbaiting
Crankbaits
Jerkbaits
I'm not talking brand names of rods, but am more interested in knowing what power and actions everyone carries.
