The Rod/Reel setup you are happiest with 2024
Lard_Bass reply :
So, I was fishing this weekend and caught a bunch of bass on a particular setup. One of my Avids broke at the end of last season and I upgraded to the Legend Tournament Finesse Spinning Rod (LTBS68MXF). I paired this up with a Shimano CI4 which I reviewed last summer but now spooled with Fireline Braid. OMG, this setup is so sensitive. This setup alone accounted for 10 out of 13 bass I caught in a heavily pressured weekend (lots of pre and post tournaments on the lake I was on). I fished in areas where I saw other boats come and go with no bass being landed (I watched from a distance and waited for those areas/coves to clear out). I went in and felt the tiniest of bites on a shakey head setup. I was amazed.
This is my new favorite setup. What's yours? One rod / reel/line/ application. The search for one.
Lucky Craft Man reply :
hmmm...good question. I would say my G Loomis SMR814C-CB paired with a Abu Garcia Revo Premier and 12 Fluorocarbon Line. This is a great jerkbait set-up.
Raul reply :
Tough choice, I like all my setups, however that tennis elbow case made me fish with spinning gear I acquired this strong taste for this set-up which I originally purchased for the foot patrol:
GraphiteLeader Bosco GLBS602ML/Daiwa Revros 2004/6lbs YoZuri Hybrid.
Been using it every week for over a year and a half for practically evreything except for the largest/heaviest baits.
Tennis elbow sucks bigtime ! >
KYntucky Warmouth reply :
My favorite setup is probably my 7'M Daiwa Zillion/Daiwa Alphas 103/12lb XPS Flourocarbon. I find it a versatile setup fishing shakey heads, tubes, jerkbaits, weightless plastics, dropshot, and small jigs. It's terribly light, sensitive, extremely balanced, and has plenty of power to handle big fish.
adclem reply :
Loomis IMX MBR844C, Revo Premier, Seguar InvizX 15lbs test and I love this combo for fishing all types of jigs, especially swim jigs.
Later,
J Francho reply :
I'm pretty happy with all my gear.
One I really like would be my pre IPC Avid AC62MXF saddled with an Alphas Ito Ai and 8 lb. P-line CXX. This rod is great for topwaters, jerkbaits, short target "sniper" spinnerbaits, even makes a great tight quarter light worming rod.
Another would be my LTBC70MF "Teaser" with a Daiwa Zillion 7.1 and 12 lb. P-line CXX. This rod can literally cover about 85% of my fishing, if needed. The same can be said for next rod up in power for that line, the Sweeper, LTB70MHF.
Lard_Bass reply :
J Francho,
What do you use your Teaser for? I have the Tube (LTBS70MF - I upgraded my other Avid as well). I talked to a couple techs at St. Croix who said it's pretty much the same rod as the Teaser. They recommended "anything." I have tossing Spinnerbaits with it, topwater, and cranks because that's what I used my old comparable Avid for.

Shimano Stradic CI4 2500 on a Cumara 7'2" and 8lb mono. This and binder of Zoom Trick Worms and Im happy. Take it flats fishing with a 20# leader and a Fluke bait. Would like to have gotten the 6'8" rod though....
steezy reply :
G.Loomis MBR842C 7' MedFast Rod w/ Steez 100SHA Reel.
Its not the best looking rod but its the best all around fishing rod.
K_Mac reply :
My favorite combo is a 6.4:1 BPS Pro Qualifier reel on a 7' MXF PQ rod, spooled with 12# YoZuri Hybrid. Like J. Franco's LTB/Zillion, this combo will handle a high percentage of my fishing needs. I also have have a 7.1:1 PQ reel on a 7' MHF Carbonlite rod, spooled with 15# CXX that I like very much.
ChiCityBasser reply :
My favorite combo Spinning is my: Quantum Catalyst PTI-B20 on a old Daiwa D-Force Fiberglass rod with 6# Vicious Flouro. The rod matches the reel perfectly for aesthetics and it's my setup for shallow to medium diving cranks and has really produced for me this year.

jeb2 reply :
My Loomis GLX BCR803's are my favorite rods as I fish C-rigs and plastics quite a bit. I like my Calais 200DC on one of them a lot! Such a versatile reel/setup. But I have a 2010 Premier on one too, and that's a great setup as well. Hard to pick a favorite between them for baitcasting.
skunked_again reply :
Daiwa Sol/Falcon Cara T7 CCB-4-17MR. 7' MS
great lipless cranking setup.
I.rar reply :
i dont have nicer gear like alot of you guys do , but the setup i use the most is an Abu Garcia Cardinal 801 with 6lb suffix seige on a 6'6" L/F Shimano Clarus. my personal bests were caught on it.
TourPT reply :
Tough choice.
Rod = G.Loomis MBR844c for worms and such, also works well for frogs in open to sparse cover, or the Quantum Tour PT PT6107F, best dang rod for casting and working Jig's that I have ever owned. To tough to call for I love them both, actually I love all my Loomis and Quantum PT rods, however I could not chose between the two mentioned for there both my favorite that I am taking to the grave with me.
Reel = Quantum Tour PT
Line = Braid was Super Braid till it got discontinued, have not found a replacement yet. Mono= Vicious Ultimate. Flouro = No Favorite, still trying them all one at a time.

latley its been my frog rod...im using a powell 7ft hvy with a citica and 50lb power pro
soon im goin to get one of the powell frog rods
but noone around here has the balls to throw frogs in some places
on a really pressured river i fish ive started to skip them under trees others look past and fish them just about everywhere and when its on its on. it doesnt allways work but sunday was a tough day we had rising water and the river was up about 3 or 4 feet and one team brought in a limit...i found three fish and won. the big fish have hardly ever seen this before and i think thats why it works in fact i have caught more big ones in the last 2 weeks than i have in a year on this river......o wait this is a rod thread haha
War Party reply :
I'm easy to please. I have a Berkley 5'6" pistol grip that's possibly 15 years old with a plane-jane red Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500C that I spool every couple of months with fresh Trilene XL 14lb mono. This setup gets more fishing time than several other more expensive rod/reel combo's that I own.
Dockhead reply :
I have been switching a lot of combos up lately, and have a new favorite.
7' MH Okuma C3/Citica E/50 lb braid or 15 lb Big Game (have tried and enjoyed both lines, depending on cover)

I have 2 combos I love both finesse combos.
1-Gloomis MBR782/Daiwa Pixilla spooled with 8lb invisx.

My favorite setup is also one of my most versatile.
7' Medium-Heavy Fast St. Croix Legend X. paired with a LH 7.0:1 Quantum Tour Edition PT spooled with 30-lb. Sufix Performance Braid.
I traded up to get this rod as my primary spinnerbait rod. It works great for spinnerbaits and has filled in nicely as my top-water buzzbait or frog rod.

My nicest and favorite combo is a G.Loomis GLX MBR842C with a BPS Carbonlite reel and 10lb mono. For my fishing, a 7' medium-power rod is a great "all-around" tool...
Stasher1 reply :
It's not my most expensive or "flashiest" setup, but I'd have to say my favorite combo is my spinnerbait rig.
6'10" MH/MF Quantum Tour Edition PT (PTC6106FKV) paired with a Curado 200e7, spooled with 17# XPS fluoro or 12# Sufix Elite.
To be fair, this would be my favorite combo regardless which reel I use. The rod is just that good. I use this setup for all of my spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and lipless cranks.

QuoteJ Francho,What do you use your Teaser for? I have the Tube (LTBS70MF - I upgraded my other Avid as well). I talked to a couple techs at St. Croix who said it's pretty much the same rod as the Teaser. They recommended "anything." I have tossing Spinnerbaits with it, topwater, and cranks because that's what I used my old comparable Avid for.
Pretty much everything within its rating. It really excels at light contact baits, though it does the sissy size soft swimbaits, vibe baits in weeds, spinners, buzzers, even shallow cover banging cranks very well.
I've played with the tube, while the specs are similar, its not the same blank.

Currently it is my Gander Mountain Titanium Casting rod. 6'6" Medium - Fast Action rod with 2009 Revo Premier. The combo is so light. I use 10lb XPS fluorocarbon. I love throwing flukes or caffeine shads with it.
Hot n Tot reply :
I have 4 GLX casting rods and it seems to be whichever one I'm using at the time. My CR722 with a Daiwa Steez 103HA feels the best in hand. But the MBR783 might just be more versatile and therefore my fav? I also love my MBR842 and my BCR803.

I saw those specs and when I asked the guys at St. Croix, their response was in the construction between spinning and casting gear and with balance points / capabilities of those reels. The guys I talked to were at the HQ/factory location who both said the same blank was used to construct both rods. Just wanted to share my discussion and my impression was the two rods are very close (differences do exist but they said very subtle in overall feel and application). I haven't felt a Teaser so I wouldn't know the feel difference.
Regardless, both are good rods. And, back on track, I am still the happiest with the LTBS68MXF.

Those specs are for the blanks themselves. No way the same blank starts out with a different weight, tip size and butt diameter, just because its for a spinning rod. The spinning rod feels a bit slower and flexes easier. A very good rod, but not made on the same blank as the casting rod. There isn't anything to argue.

If it's in my hands I am happiest, because it's the only one in the line up that is going to catch my fish.
BrASSmonkey reply :
It would be a toss up. I love the feel of my 6'6" Browning Midas/Fuego combo. It is exteremely well balanced (just below the foregrip, and light. But I have a soft spot for a modified Abu Garcia 4600 c3 (now a c6) on a 7' St. Croix Premier MHM. The bg round reel casts great, and is just so much fun to wield.

Spinning: Shimano Symetre 2500 with 14# Trilene XL low-viz green on an All-Star Titanium 6'6" M/F rod. Cheap combo, but it works great. The reel's the smoothest I've ever used and the rod is plenty sensitive for throwing plastic.
Casting: I only have one rig right now, it's even cheaper than my spinning rig. ;D Daiwa ProCaster Rojo 100HL with 17# Trilene XL on a Shimano Sojourn 6'6" M/F rod. I'm impressed with the reel so far, it casts a mile if I need it to but works well for flipping as well. The rod seems decent for such a cheap rod, but right now I'm just using the rod mainly as something I can use while I'm getting my baitcasting mojo back, and once I really get into using my baitcaster again I'll get a better rod and use the Shimano as a spare. My dad has a G.Loomis Bronzeback casting rod that he hasn't taken out of the package since he bought it a couple years ago, and I'm trying to talk him out of it, but so far he doesn't want to sell it.
