DaveT63 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Yep G Loomis MBR842C with a Daiwa PX68L St Croix Legend Xtreme 7'1" MHXF with a Core 51Mg7 Quote
robster80 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 nope. i like what i have and not sure what my dream combo is but probably an NRX or Lamiglas Infinity paired with a Core 50MG7 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted April 15, 2015 Super User Posted April 15, 2015 My dream combo would be too much money for me to justify spending for one setup. However I'm fishing a combo that I wanted to own so at one time I guess it was a dream combo for me. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted April 15, 2015 Super User Posted April 15, 2015 Meh, just put a fish on it and I'm happy. 2 Quote
olegs Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I got 3 my dream combos: NRX 853C with Core 51Mg GLX 854C with Chronarch 151 CI4 NRX 852S with Stradic CI4 Quote
long island basser Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Im not sure what my dream combo would be. Quote
bass1980 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I don't think I'm willing to fork out money to buy my dream combo (MB Super Leggera) but I do have one that I feel like it will be the best combo I will get a chance to fish. The only problem is......I haven't fish it yet either lol. Ice just melted, bass season is open yet, I just got back from a long vacation. Now itching to use it! BTW it color matches!!! Let the hating begin. 6 Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted April 15, 2015 Super User Posted April 15, 2015 This is a tough question to answer. I got serious about bait cast fishing again only 3 years ago, so I'm still learning the basics. I own a BPS, Lews, Diawa, Shimano (Core 50 & 100 Mgs, CI4), *** and Abu Garcia reels ranging from $99 to $350+. My rod collection consists of Diawa, St. Croix, ***, Abu Garcia, BPS, and Fenwick. Currently my favorites are my Core and Concept reels mixed and matched with Veritas and *** rods. I'd love to say my ultimate rig would be a top shelf Dobyns, or custom rod and a Shimano reel made of unobtainium, but reality is my daughter starts college in 3 years and I have this crazy idea of paying off my mortgage within the next ten years, which puts a bass rig that potentially north of $1,000 pretty far down my priority list. Yeah, I'd just have to say my dream combo would be one mentioned above, just with a 12+ pound LM attached to it..... Quote

I'm just fishing out of a little beat up bass tracker. I can afford a $35k boat right now, but my wife said no boat until the baby. I had to sell all my 12 setups to step it up to high end gears. It's just a tool in the end, but I like my tools a certain way. I don't knock people with starter setups, we all started somewhere. It doesn't help me catch more fish, but I can honestly say I do enjoy my fishing time more with the gears I really want. 1 Quote

My wife and I are both college educated and have great jobs, but reality is that houses in the Boston area start at $350,000 for something livable and a bachelor's degree at a state school is $100,000. If we can give our daughter as big a head start in life as possible, the better off she'll be. The boss, er, wife, and I have our retirement in good order already. OK, enough hijacking... got to get back to work figuring out which of my dream combos I'm going to catch that 12+ pound LM with! Thanks for your comment. Quote
madweazl Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I just got my first bait caster and I've been so impressed. It's a cheap combo but the difference between it and the spincasters I've been using the last 30 years is insane. I dont even want to think about how nice a quality setup is but for now, this really is a dream. I've had a blast just practicing out in the driveway and cant wait to get out on the water. Quote
I.rar Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 No. well not really. I have my stradic 1000 ci4 on a Fenwick river runner that I absolutely love to fish with. A better rod would be nice but it's the best I could afford at the moment. Any fish I catch with it is a good time and in the end, that's what matters. Quote
ABW Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 My dream combo is the one that has a DD bass hooked up. Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I couldn't even afford a combo $300 less than my dream combo... Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 To be honest, every rod & reel combo I have for each technique would be my "dream" combo for that technique, because if it wasn't, it would be traded in or sold. 1 Quote
travis23 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 At one point in time I drooled over a DX paired with some high end Daiwa or Shimano. I've got that and more, so I guess yes I do own my "dream" combo lol Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 16, 2015 Super User Posted April 16, 2015 I don't dream about gear, just big fish. I don't even fish for big fish anymore, 50# tarpon makes me pretty happy and pretty d**n tired. I was having a ton of fun catching sub 1# mayans the other day, I went to target them. Caught a 3# bass and I was disappointed, lol. Quote
LunkerFisher Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 My dream combo would have a 10 pounder on the end of it. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted April 16, 2015 Super User Posted April 16, 2015 I just fish my fav combo ....a 5'6" pistol grip uglystiik and a 4600c3 Quote
