IF YOU COULD HAVE ONLY ONE SPINNING ROD & REEL 2025

bronzeback01 reply :

If you could have only one spinning rod & reel setup

what would it be & why ? brand, action, length, etc.

Lon reply :

I really like that Loomis has specific length and actions for different techniques....I just picked up the 6'10 shakey head rod. And paired that up with a Pflueger Supreme spinning reel....

If I had to chose only one rod though it would be the 7'4 bronzeback series rod. It would be perfect for tubes, which is what I plan to buy it for, but also for lots of other soft plastics.

I may even pick up two of them one for tubes, and one for drop shotting...

The Pflueger Supreme has the best combination of bearings, smoothness, drag, low weight, and line pick up than any other spinning reel out there.

I have the very rod you speak of, and I love it... Skips tubes great too.

for me it would be the 2500 Stella on a 7'1 mag bass GLX.

Dobnys 702S ML / Stradic 2500

If I could have only 1 rod and reel all together, this would be it.

x2...I love this rod. I have it paired with a Pflueger President (great reel for the money)

Branuss04 reply :

I am in love with my Shimano Crucial 7'2" M. Daiwa Tierra 2000. It's a good combo around $200. I"m sure there are better combo's out there, but I have no complaints with this one.

Alpster reply :

I am partial to my Loomis DSR820S GLX and Shimano Stella 1000FB.

Shimano Stella on a Loomis Shakey Head rod....those Stella's are soooooooooooooooo nice. At one tackle shop, the guy wouldnt let me touch it! He said, "Give me your credit card for collateral, and I'll let you try it out." Well I had no credit card, so it ended their.

alger319 reply :

the reel would be the new stradic and the rod would be a 6-9 medium Deep South rod-> it's new on the market. very sensitive and light

Chad. reply :

I'd do the megabass destroyer 68x with a bridged butt and a custom exist steez with sunline braid.

burleytog reply :

Only one?

Shimano Stella on a Loomis.

kms399 reply :

6'6 med-hvy avid

shimano symetre 2500

20 LB power pro.

I use this for skipping docks mostly which is probably 75% of my fishing early in the season. if I could have anything i would probably go with

6'6 med-hvy g-loomis GLX

shimano sustain 2500

20 LB power pro

problem is you can buy two of my setups for the cost of my "dream" setup.

Ballpark Frank reply :

My dream spinning setup is a Shimano Sustain 2500 on a G.Loomis BSR803 GLX. I am saving up and working alot of overtime in the next 2 months to get this and a new kayak. Right now my favorite is my Shimano Convergence 6'6" Med and Shimano Symetre 2500, which I am finding hard to beat.

Sol 2500 and Legend Elite 7ft mhf.

Madhouse27 reply :

Since money's no object I'm going with the G Loomis Bronzeback GLX 6'10" (SMR822S-SP-GLX) and a Shimano Stella 1000FB. While we're at it can I put together a new boat package too?

Kodiak Zach reply :

Not to sound cliche', but I'd also take a Stella 3000FD on a 7'1 M GLX. I mean for a little over $1k, how could you possibly be any happier?

sal669 reply :

Only one spinning combo ! would be a 6-6 to 7ft med/fast or xf.

Presently using an Avid 68MXF with a Daiwa Capricorn (the old, silver one) spooled with Tectan Premium 0.25mm, second spool Power Pro 15lb...

I don't feel any need to upgrade !

danyak reply :

Lamiglas XPS 702X and Team Diawa Advantage 2000A

(6'8)Steez SVC 681 ML Spinning w/ 2500 Steez Reel......I love this set-up ...I can feel a fish fart with this rod!!!

Jake P reply :

If were talking what i own then i would say Abu Garcia Cardinal 503 ALB and Fenwick HMG 7' M/F. If were talking ANYTHING i would say Abu Garcia Cardinal 802 and probably a G Loomis mossy back 6'8 M/F.
