Ok follow me on this (I might be doing it wrong) -
3 combos -
1 spinning for finess and crappie/bream (need length and line weight)
1 current setup (6'6 MH, 6:4:1) for spinnerbait and soft plastics?
1 more for heavy cover?

I prefer medium action for spinnerbaits and crankbaits medium heavy for jigs and Texas rigs . Medium light for rogues and finesse fishing . 12 to 14 pound test mono on cranks spinners and rogues . 17 pound fluoro on jigs and worms . I cheat with light action rigs and put 30 pound braid with a 15 pound fluoro leader .

These are my suggestions, your preferences may be different
1 spinning for finess and crappie/bream 7' med/hvy graphite rod, 8#flouro
current setup (6'6 MH, 6:4:1) for spinnerbait,topwaters and Crankbaits using 12-15# monofilament
1 more for heavy cover and texas rigs 7' or longer heavy graphite,6.4 or faster reel(if fish takes bait and swims toward the boat) with braided line
1 spinning for finess and crappie/bream 7' med/hvy graphite rod, 8#flouro
current setup (6'6 MH, 6:4:1) for spinnerbait,topwaters and Crankbaits using 12-15# monofilament
1 more for heavy cover and texas rigs 7' or longer heavy graphite,6.4 or faster reel(if fish takes bait and swims toward the boat) with braided line

7' M or MH, I wouldn't put anything heavier than 10, 8 is better.

Yes, will probably work for cranking/ lipless cranks also.

heavy cover?
7'-7'6" heavy fast tip, your choice of line, lots of love in here for braid, I like fluro.
I like a 7:1 reel on my worming rod, lets me take up slack faster.
ETA: if you want a line for general/ utility use, just go with Berkley Big Game in 12-15 lb test.
Not for the spinning set up though, even if you use mono, stay under 10.

I would go with 4 combos:
1. 6'6" ML/Fast w/ 12lb nanofil or 8# flouro spinning set-up for finesse and sac-au-lait
2. 7' MH/Fast w/ 30lb Power Pro baitcast set-up for heavier plastics, frogs, jigs, etc...
3. 6'6"-7' MH/Slow w/ 14lb flouro baitcast set-up for crankbaits/treble hook baits
4. Current set-up for plastics/spinnerbaits & buzzbaits
ETA: This is for kayak fishing. If I were fishing out of a bass boat this list would be longer and more technique specific. You don't have that luxury in a yak. Every rod needs to be able to do at least two things. I like versatility in my set-ups. Maybe go a little heavier on the braid on the #2 set-up

if you want just one more for this scenario i would recommend a rod over 7' hvy to xhvy with a 7.0:1 ratio reel. this would be ideal for topwater hollowbody frogs w/ braid along with a good setup for flipping/punching heavy cover/vegetation
