KTSAdventures Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Hello all! I have some rods and reels I use and was wondering how you would pair them to make a combo for maximum effectiveness. I know this will require a long answer so I will number the reels and use letters for the rods so you can use those instead of the model numbers. A. Shimano Antares DC 7:1 B. Lews BB-1 7:1 C. Alderbaren 7:1 D. Quantum Smoke Spin 2500 type E. Shimano 2500 Spin CI4 F. *** 7:1 G. Metanium D.C. 7:1 Rods 1. Dobyn's 701 Spinning 2. Dobyn's 734CH 3. Dobyns 735CH 4. Powell Max 3D 753 5. Shimano Crucial 6'6" 6. G Loomis 6'6" jw.. What reel goes best w each rod in your opinion? Make a single combo like E1 or do all or none I'm trying to tweek my tools here. Line etc is also sweet. Thanks in advance. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted May 29, 2017 Super User Posted May 29, 2017 Gee. I don't know. Never heard of a Shimano Antares DC rod or Dobyns 701 spinning reel. EDIT: Sorry, but had to bust your chops. I couldn't give any advice because I don't own any of those rods or reels. Like the old adage says, "There is more than one way to skin a cat." I seriously doubt there is a wrong way to pair your gear. 1 Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted May 29, 2017 Super User Posted May 29, 2017 A. Shimano Antares DC 7:1 – Powell 3D Max – Spinnerbait/Bladed Baits B. Lews BB-1 7:1 – Dobyns 735CH – Pitching/Flipping C. Alderbaren 7:1 – Loomis 6’6” JWR – Assuming MH, Topwater, Jerkbaits E. CI4 Spinning or Quantum Spinning paired with Dobyns 701 – Finesse, light line techniques F. *** 7:1 – Shimano – Crucial – Sniping with spinnerbaits/bladed baits. G. Metanium D.C. 7:1 – Dobyns 734CH – Jigs/Plastics This is what I'd do, if these were mine. 1 Quote
KTSAdventures Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks. Interesting pair. I like it. I know that took a lot of thinking and time. I'm gonna try that out. I need to change some line out. Quote
