If you could have only one rod, one reel, one type of line, and one bait what would it be.
I thought it'd be kind of fun to see, what others peoples favorite fishing rig would be.
Mine would be
rod: st croix legend tournament 6'6" MH
reel: revo stx
line:power pro 15LB
bait:yamamoto tubes
A little out of the ordinary but mine is a finesse rig. Liberto Pixy with 6 lb. fluorocarbon on a Kistler Helium LTA 7' medium action. I love that setup for light cranks and dropshotting. Just plain fun to fish with until you get four pounder or larger, then it's a blast to fish with. ;D

I don't have a go-to rig per say, but if I could catch bass any way I wanted to; I'd use my Lamiglas XMG50 (it's a medium) paired with a TDZ 105h. Berkley Trielene 100% fluorocarbon in 10lb is the line, and a Lucky Craft Fat CB BDS 1 is the bait. A moonsault cb100 is a close second for the crankbait I chose, but the bds1 generally gets better quality fish.
thanks everyone for sharing. This turned out better than I expected.

My boat ? ...... there it is in all it 's glory, "LATINASESINA", 12 ft of pure mean aluminum powered by 6.5 ponies. That 's all I need to ride and catch me some fish.
That 's how it looked, now I added a couple of seats for more comfort and artificial turf to the benches and deck ( burned my butt a couple of times when sitting on the bare aluminum and it ain 't pretty )

3/16oz Karu Finesse Jig or Baby Boo Bug jig (black blue or green pumpin) w/baby paca craw trailer. For over a year this has been my year round constant. Only thing that changes is the presentation.
Simple choice for me. Since 50+% of my time is fishing smallies, I'd go with a one piece 7' medium fast action spinning rod with 1500 series Shimano Sahara. Load the reel with 8# test Trilene XL and tie on a 1/8 oz. jig head trailing a 3" curly tail.
This would also do for Senko fishing and topwaters for LM bass in a pinch.

Go to rig - when nothing else is working:
