The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 I have been trying to build up my collection of rods and reels here lately and I just thought I would share some pics. From left to right they are: Curado on a BPS crankin' stick Airy red Pixy on a BPS Johnny Morris rod Daiwa TDZ on a Kistler Helium LTX rod Shimano Metanium XT on a custom G Blanks rod with spiral wrapped guides Shimano Mg50 with ZPI carbon fiber handle on a Shimano Crucial rod Abu Revo SX on a Berkley Bionic rod I know there are some other tackle addicts on the board ;D Lets see your gear!

The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 This is still my most favorite reel in my collection! Don't have a rod for it yet, but I will soon.. Quote
Guest avid Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Yo Muddy, Show us your gear 8-) (straight line) Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 25, 2007 Super User Posted April 25, 2007 Very nice gear. I love that TD Ito reel. Do you know where I can get my hands ona new one? Quote
Super User islandbass Posted April 25, 2007 Super User Posted April 25, 2007 If you looked up the word sweetness in the dictionary, there would be a picture of your gear there! 8-) BTW, where did you buy your Pixy? Me wants one. Quote
The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 Thanks for the kind words guys! Robert, the NIB Ito's are getting harder and harder to find. I just lucked into mine being at the right place at the right time. www.japantackle.com has some pretty nice ones from time to time, but you have to be quick to get them! On the Pixy, the best place I have found to get them is at Brooklyn Bills. http://www.brooklynbillstackleshop.com/ Quote
Laineisbosshog Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 all that gear and you still cant fish a lick, sad really sad Quote

The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 all that gear and you still cant fish a lick, sad really sad Maybe someday I will be able to catch big fish like laine does! ;D Quote
The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 This more like what i usually catch... man, how did we get so far off topic! Lets see some sweet rods and reels! Quote
Captain Chaos II Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Dude, sweet combos. I like that you have mixed it up rather than sticking to one brand. That is my approach to gear too. Why not?? But, don't see a Loomis anywhere. I'd probably get a high end rod for your Ito.. Loomis, Steez, Megabass, oh my. Quote

The Dude Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 Dude....sweeeet. Monkey is very agitated.......Does the standard Destroyer III come with the cork or foam grip?? The pic at the link has both. It has both. The grip you hold is cork, and the rear grip is foam. Did you also notice the jade reel seat? Very cool.. 8-) Quote

Lucky Craft Man Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 I'm waiting for Redlinerobert, The_Natural, and Raul to weigh in here. If you want to see gear, these guys will put anyone to shame. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 One Quantum pt. One on a St Croix crank rod. One quantum pt on a gander mountin spinner bait rod. One Quantum tempo on St. Croix rod fliping rod. One Quantum Acurrist on a St. Croix jig/frog rod. One Shimano Curado on a Quantum jerk bait rod. I know thats like puting a chevy engine in a ford. But intill I can get a St. Croix rod it will have to do. Quote

I've been watching his site like a hawk, but he's out of stock for lefties and righties. :-[ He seems to have the cheapest non ebay price. Quote
