What Is Your Dream Combo?

[outdoorsman110]

Mine would be a Shimano Core 100MG7 on a G-Loomis Topwater Cast Rod 7'2" Heavy Action. Topwater Paradise.

What's your dream set up?

Baitcasting, Spinning, and Fly.

[Goose52]

The one with a 23lb LMB on the end of the line...

[jerzeeD]

Spinning... St Croix legend tournament 6'8" M/F with a 35 size Pflueger Patriarch for the reel.

[jerzeeD]

Actually , make that tip x-fast.

[NorcalBassin]

My personal favorite in an 893 NRX with a Chronarch 50e. Fishes like a dream.

[tomustang]

A combo that weighed 1oz, unbreakable, and could do every technique perfectly

[thehooligan]

A 6'8 medium shimano cumara with a stella 1000 would suit me just fine

[*Hootie]

Actually, my dream combo will always be the one I am currently using,

Right now, that happens to be a Duckett micro magic, 6.6 med. Heavy

and a Lews SS tournament, 6.4 1 reel.

[LgMouthGambler]

My 50E on my Clarus. It doesnt get any better than that for me.

[j.bruno]

Shimano CORE MG50 with a Shimano Cumara 7ft MH

[loodkop]

I'm currently saving up for a Cumara shakey head rod and Stradic 2500 reel.

[ww2farmer]

I have them. St. Croix 7" MH/fast and 7' M/fast Legend Tournaments with Curado 51e's.

[roadwarrior]

MBR842C/ Core 50MG

BCR893/ Curado 50E supertuned

PR844S/ Stella 2500FE

[Jacob34]

I got half of my dream set up with my C.F Burkheimer 2 WT. All I need now is a Hardy Flyweight, or a Hardy Bougle MK VII to pair with it.

[Mike__D]

Team Daiwa TD-Ito (the chameleon color ones) in both spinning and casting paired with Daiwa Compile-X rods (only reason why I did not put down another JDM product like a megabass or evergreen rod is because I do not know enough about them to select one over the other).

Mike D

Love the looks of those Ito's!!!

[J Francho]

I've got a couple dozen "dream combos." Every time I buy my dream setup, I dream up another that I need.

[S Hovanec]

Currently fishing my 'dream' spinning set-up. Custom SCV 6'9" ML/XF with a CI4 2500. But like J Francho said, I have another dream rod on the brain. It's gonna be a SCV 6'10" M/XF extended to 7'2" and I'm gonna put a new Sustain on it.

I don't really know what I'd like for a dream casting set-up.

Fly? You can keep 'em, don't do that.

Center-pin. Currently have a 13' Talon ITM with a silver Islander. I dream of a 15' CTS with a Paine Falls 5" DeMarco in green or olive drab.

Guess what? I believe I have the same sickness as you....

Depends on the application,

under 3/8oz finess rig would be my St Croix L.E. 6'3 MXF with my Stradic 1000 MgFB 10# F.L. Chrystal, with 6'-8' 8# Flouro leader joined by a Blood Knott, the total weight of outfit 10.1oz

for 1/4 to 1/2 oz finess rigging, and some lighter smaller cranks and inline spinners or (bucktails) St Croix Avid 6'9" MLXF with my Lews Tounament Pro 7:1 w/20# F.L.Tracer Braid with 6'-8' 8# flouro leader joined by a Blood Knott, the total weight of this outfit 11.4 OZ

Both of these outfits used to be my Lake Erie Walleye rigging rods for drifting for Walleye or casting for Smallies,

for most other crankin and spining and deep heavier rigging, my St. Croix Avid 7" MF with a Lews Team 6.4:1w/20# F.L. Tracer Braid and 6' 12# Floro leader joined by a Blood Knott, the total weight of this outfit is 12.1oz

then for heavy salad and timber areas heavy rigging, flipping and such, my St Croix 6'10 Tele. MHF with a Lews Tournament w/30LB F.L. Braid and 25LB Flouro, or 20# Big Game, 4'-6' leader joined with a blood knott. a club at 14.6oz

I do love bass on the fly rod, I mainly use a weedless mouse, on my "you geussed it" St. Croix Legend Ultra 9' 7wt. with a 7-8 weight Reddington LA reel.

I ran my own Charter service on Erie for Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Smallmouth for 32 years, so I was fortunate that now at 58 years old I think I have my dream rigs and don't see anything changing! I retired from Chartering and am now getting back into Bass and Walley on inland lakes with a little Pike and Muskie fishing now and then.

[steezy]

Steez reel on a Steez rod with a 23# LMB hanging on it.

[PineappleWater]

LOL +1 for a Steez set-up but I already have a 7'1 Compile-X on a Steez 103HA! Funny thing is my dream set-up would be the new Zillion J-Dream 7.9 ratio on a Steez 7'4 SBD frog rod and a 23# LMB hanging on all of it! haha

[SirSnookalot]

I'm pretty well set right now. I went into BPS the other day with every intention of buying something. Looking around at rods and reels, thought to myself, I like what I have and I'm already catching great fish, I don't need or want anything, left with a few bucktails. When the need or desire arises I'm sure I'll buy something, most of my equipment is bought on a whim at the moment.

[Lucky Craft Man]

A Custom rod built on a G Loomis NRX JWR 894 with a Shimano Core 100MgFV. That would quite a dream there.

[Stasher1]

My dream combo? Jamie Eason and a cabin in the mountains.

As far as fishing gear goes, I'm with SirSnookalot. I'm comfortable with what I have, and with the exception of replacing my travel outfit due to breakage, I've pretty much stopped looking at new gear.

[tomustang]

Come on guys you can at least 1UP goose by making it a 24#
