Super User Goose52 Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 The only time I noticed color when putting together a combo - I had this PX Type R first and needed a light-power rod to go with it. The Recon fit the bill performance-wise and I noticed that the red accent on the rod would match the reel. Black on black, red and red - looks OK. Core 50 Mg on a new Cumara or Chronarch E series on Crucials. Core 50 / Cumara A Any gold (Conquest comes to mind) or orange reel, matched on the brown Legend Elites look fantastic. Gold reel on a blue LTB looks OK too! 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 Goose, you are one bad man! That is some good bling and performance in those outfits! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 The bling is OK - but at the end of the day, as you said, it's the performance...especially the end result. Speaking of end results - here's the best color match: silver reel and big green bass... 5 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 That is a great fish! My reels are still being serviced at the moment, otherwise I would post pics. Sadly most of my reels match the rods!!! Quote

elkriverangler Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I like that Recon and SX. I tend to like the Darker colors better than the bright colors. My Favorite Outfit based on Color is my SX on a Falcon Bucoo Rod. Quote
RyneB Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Recon2 and SX, LTB and Patriarch. that Patriarch looks awesome the way the lights hitting it. Quote
Dylan.747 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Once my revo sx gets here, I post a picture of it on a new vendetta. Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 25, 2013 Super User Posted February 25, 2013 I like a classic look. Calcutta on an older GLX rod with the full cork. I had a fishing buddy (hes dead now) but he had several calcutta and GLX combos and those to me just stick in my mind as "classic" Quote

Super User Teal Posted February 25, 2013 Super User Posted February 25, 2013 I LOVE IT! Old school looks and a really a deadly combo !! Quote
mnbassman23 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I've got a gen2 SX with one of my Recons, gotta love the blacked out look. I have the same set up. BA looking combo for sure. Quote
KevO Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I love my core 100mg on my original cumara. it looks awesome! Quote
JunkYard814 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I put a lot of thought in picking rods and reels to go together. I'd be lying if I said I have never turned away from some rods simply because it didn't match the color of my reel. Best: I have a Shimano Catalyst PT (orange) mounted on a Berkley Lightning Rod Shock and that looks pretty smooth. Also I have Lews TSS on a Powell Diesel that looks nice. Worst: Shimano Curado E on St. Croix Mojo. Purple, black and green just looks horrible. Quote
38 Super Fan Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 that Patriarch looks awesome the way the lights hitting it. Thanks! I'm no great photographer, but that one did turn out nice. Quote
thehooligan Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Im diggin my chronarch 51e on my cumara... Quote
cbass12 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Don't have one yet, but I think a Shimano Symetre would look outstanding on my Compre spinning rod. Both being dark green, that would be a fine pair. 1 Quote
ChrisAW Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I know I've posted this before, but I'll do it again. 7' ML CS Wild with an Okuma Trio High Speed that I swapped gears on to make it a low speed. I'm not one to really "match" colors, but these were both clearanced and I was able to get a discount of top of that for them both. Couldn't pass it up. Quote
thehooligan Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 My core 51 came in today, i dont have much line in stock, i found a spool of 8lb transoptic and threw it on. All i can say is wow. Core/cumulus combo is amazing... 1 Quote
coak Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hooligan that is a crisp setup you have there!!!!! 1 Quote
BradGuenette Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 there are alot of choice! but one of my favorites has got to be my Stradic Ci4/ Cumara drop shot rod combo. It's like they were made for eachother <3 1 Quote
BiteMe73 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Doesn't look like no one has mentioned this combo but a Revo MGXtreme paired up with an Airrus Nano Fusion. Hawt! I got a Revo SX a couple of weeks ago and waiting for my Airrus Co-Matrix 2.0 to arrive tomorrow. I think that will also be a good look together. Hopefully this combo will have me pulling hawgs outta th slop in the near future. Yup it wasn't the first requirement but it didn't hurt that both combos are black accented by red. Quote
down4ttown Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Shimano Curado 50e on Dobyn's 744 CH Extreme. Glistens in the sun. Quote
