What’s your favorite rod and spinning reel?

[MUSLENUTZ]

Curious to what people are using now a days. What do you use for your go to rod and spinning reel?

[Mikeltee]

Shimano Stradic CI4 with Dobyns Champion 702-705 ftw. $400 package. I don't use spinning anymore since I got a finesse baitcasting setup. It throws a 3/8 just fine. Anything lighter is for a fly rod imo.

I have a few but this spring I added a couple of Daiwa Tatula Elite AGS Spinning Rods.

Neko Rig & Drop Shot.

Matched them with a pair of Daiwa Tatula Limited Edition LT SS 3000-CXH reels.

Very Sweet.

St. Croix Avid X 6’9 ML XF paired with a Daiwa Procyon 2500.  Love the combo.  Typically this is the only spinning setup I take with me unless it is some sort of odd occasion.

My favorite spinning set up at the moment is a St. Croix ML/F 6',6" rod Paired with a size 100 Lew's Mach II reel.

 

I also like my Kastking Sharky III paired with a Denali AttaX 7' M/F rod while kayak fishing.

 

When bank fishing I like to carry a spare spinning set-up. My go to is a Lew's Carbon Fire size 200 reel on a 6'10" Lew's Carbon Fire ML/F rod (DSG exclusive)

Don't know yet.  Either Major Craft Benkei/BG 1500 or Fantasista Regista/2000 Procyon.  MC been out once.  Regista not at all yet.

[tkunk]

My favorite is the NRX drop shot rod with a Stradic 2500. In summer and fall, I catch 75+% of my bass drop shotting, so I figured I'd splurge. My previous drop shot rod was a flipping stick, so it was a big upgrade!

[flyfisher]

Right now my favorite is my stradic CI4 and a 6'10" MXF shimano curado.  

[J Francho]

SC Avid AVS62MLXF, OG CI4 2500, 6# Tatsu:
