Who Got New Combos Over The Winter?

[slonezp]

Gen 3 STX w/ 7' Fenwick HMG MH/F

Ardent F500 w/ 7'6" Fenwick HMG Flippin Stick

[Preytorien]

Yes! I did.....

 

Got a new Shimano Curado (7.1:1) + Shimano Crucial combo (6'8" MH-Xfast)

 

We'll be on top of ice for quite a while more here in Indiana, so I'm itching to get out there and rock and roll with this baby!

[Preytorien]

I picked up a revo sx 30 and a BPS carbonlite rod to go with it during the classic sale. My wife got me a revo sx baitcaster for our anniversary at the end of October (if that counts as winter), which I paired with another carbonlite rod.

 

Those Carbonlite rods are amazing rods. I have one that i use with the Carbonlite baitcaster. Man is that rod sensitive!

[new2BC4bass]

Well, winter has arrived again so plenty of time to add a few more combos.  So far I picked up a used Fuego 6'10"MXF spinning rod to go with a Supreme XT that needed a companion.  Got my first rod designated for crankbaits...a 7' ML Crankin Stick, and will be putting a Carbonlite on it that had been sitting alone.

 

Also have a replacement coming for the Falcon Expert 7' M that I fell and broke a few years ago.  Have a spare Patriarch XT that may go on this rod.

 

Looking forward to a couple more items if finances allow: Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10" MH Med-Fast, Kovert 6'9" MH Spinnerbait and a Tatula reel...possibly the Type R.

 

EDIT:  Have been reading great things about the Tatula rods as well.  Who knows, may add one of those to my arsenal.

Ive got a new Dobyns 805CB w/Diawa Tatula, a Powell Squarebill rod w/Pflueger Patriarch, Powell 705CEF w/Diawa Zillion Type R, and a Powell TW Jerkbait rod.

[Superdumper]

Recently got a Powell Endurance 714 c paired up with a Quantum Smoke 151. Super light weight, gonna be in the fifties this weekend so hoping to give it a good test run.

[michael68w]

This guy! Diawa tatula type R and matched it with a Falcon Cara Amistad.

No Combos yet but did grab 2 more Omens

Was really hoping hookuptackle was gonna have their deal on Chronarchs again but they didnt this year. HopefullyI'll get 2 Chronarch CI4s before season starts.

Been doing some air travel to my fishing destination recently.

 

Accordingly, I've started the St Croix Tidemaster Inshore Travel Rod Collection. 

 

The M, M/H & H casting rods and most recently the M spinning model.

 

Very nice.

I picked up a 6'10 medium light cumulus for dropshots & flickshake. An Aldebaran mg for crankin, and a bfs xg for topwater & jerkbaits.

In the market for a good crankin rod.

[ColdSVT]

No combos for me yet...did get another *** 7'3MH and I have an *** 7'3MH on order

Still in the fence for reels

Lews TP/Dobyns DX744c

Lews TSS/Dobyns 735c

Lews TP/Dobyns 705CB

Daiwa Tierra 2500/Dobyns DX742SF

When I bought my first Lews, about 3 years ago, I mounted all of them on Dobyns rods. Seems Lews and Dobyns, go together like biscuits and gravy.

not a new combo per se but this will create a new combination when my rocket is saddled up on my pitchin stick...

Go easy on the first few fish - other wise they may smack you in face on the way in . . .

The Wife--------> <------you when she finds out about all the new toys your buying yourself....

It's a good thing that's the PG version you posted.

My Tatula 100HL was waiting for me when I got home today. This reel is incredibly smooth right out of the box. When I pulled the reel out I was really surprised with its size. It is not a big reel at all. fits perfect in my hands which is the one thing I was worried after only being able to handle a RH one. Once I got it dialed in, this thing can really cast and it can cast with ease. I didn't get too long playing with it outside. 15 degree weather and a light freezing mist doesn't agree /w mono or my cold hands.  This is going to be a long 4-5 months

[Jaheff]

I purchased a Okuma Komodo a couple months ago, and a Phenix M1 over Thanksgiving sales. Really impressed with the reel after a complete teardown.

My judgement on the rod is still out. The trigger is closer to the reel then what i'm use to.

[Silas]

No your not!!!

 

Hard to believe, but I've gone for several months without buying a single piece of fishing gear!  Gasp!

 

But......I HAVE spent about $3000 on motorcycle gear for my new BMW F650GS. 

 

I tend to favor one hobby at a time......at this moment it's riding my motorcycle.  Fishing has to wait until conditions get right......all these fronts coming has upset fishing down here!
