Super User *Hootie Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 I'd use the brands that paid me the most because that's how the business works. Knowledge and decisions making catch fish not tackle brands. And the wise man speaks again. I believe Mike could explain the theory of relativity so we could all understand it. Great answer Mike.

paulrobinson318 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Daiwa for reels, Abu for rods. I used to be only a lews guy for reels until I tried the tatula out. I was blown away after the first fish. Almost all of my combos, other than my swimbait setups are a tatula on a veritas. 1 Quote

Super User Felix77 Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 I tend to use all Abu Garcia setups. Why change now. Wouldn't hurt to be sponsored by Hooters. For their wings of course. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 I'd use the brands that paid me the most because that's how the business works. Knowledge and decisions making catch fish not tackle brands. You don't have to look very closely at what the pros have on deck, or listen very closely to what they say to understand the truth of what Mike said. Pros know that at long as the gear meets their minimum standards the rest is up to them. KVD could be sponsored by most tackle manufacturers. He uses Quantum, Strike King, and BPS gear because they give him the best deal. If I were a pro I would make my best deal just like the rest of them. Above a certain level gear becomes about many things including enjoyment and ego. For the pros it is the tools of the trade. Quote
bass raider Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Shimano for reels and duckett, powell, or daiwa for rods(own all 3& like all 3) and power pro or Hi-seas for line.2 spinning & 5 or 6 casting set ups. Quote
