Super User Jeff H Posted July 17, 2009 Super User Posted July 17, 2009 I have Shimano,Daiwa,ABU Garcia and Pflueger reels. :-/ I have St. Croix,Shimano,Daiwa,G Loomis,Berkley and 3 customs from Reel Mech for rods. ALL my reels have Berkley XT on them, so except for the line, I guess I'm a brand whoore. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted July 17, 2009 Super User Posted July 17, 2009 I was a Shimano guy many moons ago. Now I'm a Flooger dude. Don't bother asking why, it don't matter. A few years from now it may be different. I own rods by St. Croix, Daiwa and BPS. The St. Croix is my first high falutin' rod and I'm happy with it. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Powell rod guy Abu Garcia Revo guy And the occasional red headed step Kistler.......................... ;D Quote
Super User cart7t Posted July 17, 2009 Super User Posted July 17, 2009 Flooger reel guy with a couple Garcia's thrown in. All Star rods all the way. Quote
Joe Boss Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 My prefered Brands are: Pflueger, Quantum and Daiwa reels in that order. St. Croix and All Star Rods. Stren line. Quote
Chris W Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I was a 100% Shimano Guy until all of this Daiwa has rubbed off on me. So now I am a Shimano/Daiwa Guy and a 90% Loomis GLX guy although I do own Kistlers, Falcon's (love their cranking rods) and Castaways and just bought a G Blanks Custom that seems to be a really good rod.

Has there been a posting about next year's road trip? If so, direct me to the thread, oh wise moderator. Nevermind. How did I miss that. It had so many posts I just assumed it was for last year's road trip. Quote

Teal101 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Shimano/quantum for reels. Shimano rods Rapala Cranks all the way Other than that not very brand specific. I tend to lean towards Yamamoto and Strike king though... Quote
fishinflip415 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Shimano reels, dobyns or powell rods, seagur line, GYM plastics, lucky craft hard baits. Oh and mattlures, huddleston,and 3:16 Swimbaits. 8-) Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I'd normally would say that Muddy had it right but amazingly enough no one has taken a pot shot at any one's choices How about a big BassResource.com round of applause? On topic: Reels spinning Pflueger (3) Gander Mountain ( 2 or 3 ) ( Pflueger knockoffs ) Shimano (1) Mitchell (1) Casting Shimano (2) Pflueger (1) Quantum (1) Rods Spinning St Croix (1) Fenwick (1) Gander Mountain (2) Berkley Lighting (1) Casting Gander Mountain BPS Fly 1 no name fly reel 3 no name fly rods Quote
guitarkid Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Depends on the reviews I read here. Reels- Reviews are good and the price is right, I will get anything. I have a flooger spinning reel, and was looking at a shimano baitcaster. Ended up with a diawa. Rods- Once again reviews, I heard the falcons were pretty good, so I bought a falcon. I heard St. Croix's are good so I bought a St. croix. So, I guess I am a Zoom, Gammy, Diawa, Flooger, Falcon, St. Croix, trilene, Rebel, Strike king, Booyah, etc... etc.. I just like a good deal. -gk Quote
fatmanslim247 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I own a little bit of everything... i am also a deal ***** Reels:abu/quantum.... I just don't have the money to buy more abu's Rods: Carrot sticks/kistler... but still searching my options Mono: Sufix. Flouro: Seaguar/cabelas Plastics: Rage Tail/tiki/Berkley Crankbaits: I hate them, but lucky crafts when I have too Spinnerbaits: Terminator/booyah Underwear: hanes boxers Quote
Stingray23 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Quantum rods and reels. Strike King Zoom Berkley Stuff has worked for me for a long time. Quote
pk Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 10 years ago I was Abu Garcia/Shimano guy. Last year I went all Revo reels and BPS Pro Qualifier rods. I'm dumping my Revos now and I'm thinking about going all Shimano after trying out a 2009 Curado. Quote
