Just seeing what everyone's favorite setup is. Mine happens to be a Shimano Chronarch 100SF matched with a 2001 G. Loomis IMX MBR783 with the Wiebe reel seat. This combo usually is matched with 12lb. test line and is used for just about anything under the sun. What do all of you use for favorite combo for? Hopefully, alot of responses will stem from this post. Thanks and good fishing.
Right now my favorite is a Powell 704 with a Chronarch 100B.
Tough question, because it changes all the time. Right now it's a 6' GLX CR722 with a Shimano Curado 100 (which might just get changed to a Chronarch 50mg).

Ask me this question tomorrow and you may get a different answer, but right now I'm loving my St Croix Legend Elite 6'6" MHF. Teamed with a modified Daiwa sol.
Beautiful balance and it's perfect for the fat ika's, weighted tubes, and, horney toads I'm tossing these days.
