If money was no object and you could only have one combo, what would it be? and why?

Posted

I'd probably take a MH G Loomis NRX with Fast action, super light weight, super reliable, super sensitive, super expensive. As far as reel, there is so many different directions to go. I love the Shimano Core, I find it difficult personally to actually enjoy the more expensive reel setups in comparison. It's just a quality product, so I would most likely go with the 101 lefty core.

I believe I already have it.

A med 8/17 spinning rod (Redbone) size 20 reel (Soron) with 15# braid, been catching bass for years with it, although I mainly fish ponds with lighter gear for bass.  I catch snook, jacks and array of other inshore species on this set up, it's good multi purpose outfit.  Only 1 combo, this would be it.

Man after my own heart. I had the rod, and reel but at different times. Unfortunately one is at the bottom of Lake Michigan, the other disappeared one day.

Ouch! I'd probably take a Megabass Destroyer Phase 3 with a Shimano Antares on it.

Probably one of these 3 combos....

 

Poison Adrena / Antares

 

Stella / G Loomis NRX

 

Croix Legend Extreme / Abu Revo MGXtreme

 

Any one of those would make my day :)

Dobyns 867/ Calcutta 401TE. Have the rod, looking to upgrade the reel.

 

Why? I can fish everything from the 6" to 10" baits on it. Pretty versatile rod.

I'd love to have an Abu Garcia MGXtreme on a my St. Croix Legend Xtreme that would be my dream combo.

Well, if money were no object, I'd probably 

have a Shimano Stella 1000.

 

For a rod, not sure. Crazy as it may sound, I 

love my new white Carbonlite, and if there

were one as light as that but more sensitive,

probably that one.

 

Otherwise, I'm quite happy with my Stradics,

Chronarch 50e reels, and Carbonlite rods.

He said it better than I was trying to state.

TD-ito 103hl, upgraded drag/bearings, and an SV spool as a 2nd spool. One with braid, the other Sunline Defier. Custom Rod built on an Nfc blank with Fuji titanium torzites. Built by savacs. Don't know if you guys have seen any of his work, but it's incredible.

I have a couple reels that someone could consider "the one" but for fun's sake I'll keep it hypothetical (and sub $1000).

 

Zillion Type R on an X4 Destruction. I figure I could do everything with that, get some style points while I'm at it, and find another just like it if I dropped it in the lake or the Terrier Army got hold of it.

Money is a problem, but I still didn't stop with one combo.  :teeth:

 

Money no object I'd be looking at a Megabass rod.  Why?  Because I have heard they are extremely versatile.  Reel?  Man.  Tough.    Have too many favorites.  No experience with expensive reels, however.  Unlike Tom.  :eyebrows:

Daiwa ss 1300, st.croix legend elite 7'm/f. Versatile,light,sensitive, and super reliable.

If money were no object I'd build a private 100 acre pond stocked with trophy sized fish. I'd use a kiddie Shakespeare spiderman rod and have the time of my life.

Well, I have the rod already, Dobyns Extreme DX745, pair it up with a Lew's Team Pro Speed Spool.
