[Jacob Krahenbil]

A 7.1:1 gear ration with a 7'6 heavy action lined up with 50lb power pro braid. Flippin and pitchin heavy cover and froggin

[bassinbrian]

[FrogTosser88]

Funny thing about that is.... Since I started fishing.. The 29.99 shakespear on an ugly stick from wallmart. Fishing a bobber and a worm (night crawler)... has caught me more fish than anything else.. Including a 5lb largemouth... which until last month was my largest bass...... so go figure

Now that I "know what I'm doing".. I have more confidence fishing a fluke on a med spinning reel setup than anything else..

Just got a baitcaster as an early Fathers Day gift and I'm practicing

[Jon G]

Powell Endurance 714 

Shimano Chronarch 200e7

#17 Abrazx

Is this a setup we own or a setup we wish to own?

1/4 tungsten weight and 3/0 ewg hook

Sk rage lobster

Setup of my choice

Megabass rod

Megabass reel

#15 Tatsu fc

1/4 tungsten weight and 3/0 hook

[John G]

A combo that I own is a Loomis MBR844IMX and Shimano Antares HG for T-Rigged worms and craws.

A combo that I want is either a NRX854 or MBR844GLX and an Antares HG for T-Rigs.

[jason41987]

my abu garcia ambassadeur 5600C4 is my all purpose reel, add some inline weights onto the leaders and smaller stuff can be casted.. i use a medium heavy rod now but to be honest i would drop it down a power or to as 99% of what i catch doesnt require a medium heavy

[Tywithay]

Antares HG on Orochi XX Extreme Mission....any technique, basically. I can pitch a 1/8oz microjig or cast a 3/4oz spinnerbait with this combo, without even adjusting the brakes.

[Frenchman83]

Lews Tournament Pro 7.1 on a 7'1" MH *** Black with 40# PowerPro. Fish bottom jigs, swimjigs, chatterbaits, frogs, buzz baits.

[Arv]

One tactic... I don't have the rod now but I'd probably throw senkos on a dx 743c Haha. I guess I'd just keep my lews tp in it. Line, braid to fc leader.

[new2BC4bass]

That would depend on where I was fishing........but I never understand why these "If you could only have one....." posts come up a couple times a month.  I doubt any of us would actually limit ourselves to 'one' of anything.

I agree. A 7' MXF rod and a 6.something baitcast reel with a 26-28 IPT and 12# FC would work for most of my fishing. On some lakes it would not work so well though...

[Ern]

Shimano Curado 200E7

Shimano Cumura 63M

Stren high Impact 10lb

Throwing Heddon Tiny Torpedos (or any topwater) to river smallies.

[nascar2428]

A 6'6" medium/fast spinning rod, 2500 size spinning reel, 20lb high vis yellow power pro with 12lb Flouro leader. Weightless Senkos, all day!!

[Catt]

Actually this time of I'm using only 2 setups & techniques that are identical except for lures.

Calcutta 100A gear ratio: 5.8:1

Crucial CRC-X610MH 6' 10" MH Xtra Fast

Berkley Big Game 15#

1/4 oz lead bullet weight black

H2O 4/0 straight shank round bend

Rage Tail Recon Worm Falcon Lake Craw

Terry Oldham's 3/8 oz Screwlok Jig

Black/Blue with a Rage Tail Lobster

[SirSnookalot]

If you had to choose one setup with one tactic what would it be?

Don't know why I'd want to, that would be limiting myself.  Even if I only targeted 1 species on one body of water, the vegetation isn't the same ever day.

I'll play along and this I have done quite a few times.  Fishing a mh 7' spinning rod with a 4000 reel using 20# braid and 1/2 oz hair jig I'll start off fishing a sea wall for snook and juvenile tarpon.  At sunrise move over to the beach and fish for jack crevelles and bluefish.  Leave the ocean and head inland, stop by a pond and do some peacock fishing, then hit a canal for LMB.  I actually did all of that this morning, but I had 3 rods and changed lures.

[Raul]

I own a boat but that doesn´t mean every single time I go out I fish from it, on the contrary, most of the times I fish from shore and I carry only one setup:

 

GLoomis SJR782 rod

Shimano Sahara 2500 FB or Daiwa Exceler 2000 TSH reel

 

With that I can fish practically everything with the exception of the heavy weight baits.

[Fish Murderer 71]

7.1/8.0:1 MH/F WITH 15# ABRAZX - I can throw almost any plastic or jig or jerkbait or live bait.

[OntarioFishingGuy]

Avid 7' ML spinning rod w/ Daiwa Ballistic 2500 spinning reel and 8lb Fireline braid. Dropshot, and light shaky head.

[RippinLips4]

Evergreen rod

daiwa Steez reel
