My Combos- Is there a better way?

[Kurt P]

OK so being a young Bass Fishermen(23 years old) my budget is a little tight. I have been expanding my gear list slowly but so far I have 5 combos and this is how I have them rigged up/uses. let me know if you think i might be able to do it a better way.

Combo 1- (Flippin Stick) 7'6 Heavy Rod with 6:4:1 gear ratio BPS extreme Rod/Reel Combo with 50 LB Braid
Combo 2- (Heavy Texas Rig/ Current Deep Diving Crank Combo as well) 7'0 Med-Heavy Rod with 6:4:1 gear Ratio BPS Extreme Rod/Reel Combo with 20 LB Flouro
Combo 3-(Crank Bait/SwimBait) 7'0 Med Action Rod with 7:1 gear ratio BPS extreme Rod/Reel Combo with 15 LB Fluoro
Combo 4- (Spinner Bait/Buzz Bait) 7'0 Med St Croix Triumph with 7:1 Revo ST reel and 12 LB Fluoro.
Combo 5- (Finnesse Combo)6'6 Med Light St Croix triumph spinning rod with Pflueger President spinning reel

I flip flop the reels on combo 1 and 2 in the summer depending on the body of water I am fishing essentially creating another 2 combos possibilities
Combo 6- (CLEAR WATER Flippin Stick) 7'6 Heavy Rod with 6:4:1 gear ratio BPS extreme Rod/Reel Combo with 20 LB Flouro
Combo 7- (Frog Combo) 7'0 Med-Heavy Rod with 6:4:1 gear Ratio BPS Extreme Rod/Reel Combo with 50 LB Braid

I am looking for another combo (Probably one for Deep Diving Cranks Probably a Med-Heavy Rod with a Low Gear Ratio Real 4.7 or 5.4)

If anyone has any suggestions of how to differently rig my combos or any suggestions of what my next one should be let me know. I prefer diversity because I am not the type of fishermen to fall back on one thing. I am trying to learn how to fish different techniques so I have them in my arsenal come tournament time.
