J Francho reply : 

LOL, I fixed the title.

I am not brand loyal, though I have favorite models. Daiwa Alphas/Sol are probably my all time favorite low pro reels. Anything Saint Croix ML/XF is special. CXX in 10, 12, and 15 is some the most used line for me. I have a lot of 6# Tatsu spooled up as well. Love that stuff.

new2BC4bass reply : 

I've never been able to select just one brand for rods or reels.

 

Reels:  Just about anything.    However, slightly over half are Daiwas so I guess you could say I am a fan of Daiwa, but I am just as fond of my Shimanos, Abus (both round and LP) and Pfluegers.

Rods:  Fenwick and Falcon. a couple Daiwas, Black Cumara and believe it or not I enjoy using a couple 6'10" HF Quantums.

Line:  Sufix mono and braid

Stren/Berkley Line: Affordable, reliable, XL, XL Fluoro, and Performance braid cast and handle great
