bronzeback01 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 If you could have only one spinning rod & reel setup what would it be & why ? brand, action, length, etc. Quote
Lon Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I really like that Loomis has specific length and actions for different techniques....I just picked up the 6'10 shakey head rod. And paired that up with a Pflueger Supreme spinning reel.... If I had to chose only one rod though it would be the 7'4 bronzeback series rod. It would be perfect for tubes, which is what I plan to buy it for, but also for lots of other soft plastics. I may even pick up two of them one for tubes, and one for drop shotting... The Pflueger Supreme has the best combination of bearings, smoothness, drag, low weight, and line pick up than any other spinning reel out there. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 9, 2008 Super User Posted March 9, 2008 These are my thoughts on "Getting Started" http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1196114229 Good luck! 8-) Quote

Skips tubes great too. for me it would be the 2500 Stella on a 7'1 mag bass GLX. Quote
Super User David P Posted March 9, 2008 Super User Posted March 9, 2008 Dobnys 702S ML / Stradic 2500 If I could have only 1 rod and reel all together, this would be it. Quote

Branuss04 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I am in love with my Shimano Crucial 7'2" M. Daiwa Tierra 2000. It's a good combo around $200. I"m sure there are better combo's out there, but I have no complaints with this one. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted March 10, 2008 Super User Posted March 10, 2008 I am partial to my Loomis DSR820S GLX and Shimano Stella 1000FB. Ronnie Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 10, 2008 Super User Posted March 10, 2008 The spinning tackle listed below is a "mid-end outfit", but to upgrade the quailty by 50% would probably cost about 100% more.

Super User FishTank Posted March 10, 2008 Super User Posted March 10, 2008 Shimano Sustain 2500 and a St.Croix Avid 6'8'' M x-fast. I fish mostly soft plastic now and this is about the easiest set up I have to use. Quote

Bass XL Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Shimano Stella on a Loomis Shakey Head rod....those Stella's are soooooooooooooooo nice. At one tackle shop, the guy wouldnt let me touch it! He said, "Give me your credit card for collateral, and I'll let you try it out." Well I had no credit card, so it ended their. Quote

alger319 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 the reel would be the new stradic and the rod would be a 6-9 medium Deep South rod-> it's new on the market. very sensitive and light Quote
Chad. Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'd do the megabass destroyer 68x with a bridged butt and a custom exist steez with sunline braid. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 11, 2008 Super User Posted March 11, 2008 Only one? Shimano Stella on a Loomis. Quote
kms399 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 6'6 med-hvy avid shimano symetre 2500 20 LB power pro. I use this for skipping docks mostly which is probably 75% of my fishing early in the season. if I could have anything i would probably go with 6'6 med-hvy g-loomis GLX shimano sustain 2500 20 LB power pro problem is you can buy two of my setups for the cost of my "dream" setup.
