BrASSmonkey Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 It would be a toss up. I love the feel of my 6'6" Browning Midas/Fuego combo. It is exteremely well balanced (just below the foregrip, and light. But I have a soft spot for a modified Abu Garcia 4600 c3 (now a c6) on a 7' St. Croix Premier MHM. The bg round reel casts great, and is just so much fun to wield. BrASS monkey Quote
Incheon Basser Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Love? Bucoo 7' MH /CitcaE I have 3 dobyns rods but have not had them long enough to call it love Quote
Red Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Mine is easily my 6'6" Allstar 785 custom, made by me with the help of flechero, it was my first build. I use it for flippin/pitchin heavy cover with t-rigs and jigs. A Revo S-L is on it spooled with 50lb Power Pro. With this setup I have no issues pulling fish from the thick cover I normally fish. Wouldn't trade it for anything! Caught my PB (avatar pic) with it. Pulled that baby right in! Quote
DaveT63 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Favorite right now is my spinning setup, Avid 6'8"MXF with a Stradic CI4 2500. Trying to get better with baitcasters, and of the ones I have, my fave is my Legend Elite 6'6" with a Curado 201E7. Quote
Captain Chaos II Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Daiwa Steez on a Mattman Custom GLX Loomis .. it's pretty much a dream to fish with. Quote

heavy M Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I really like my Falcon Lowrider LFC-5-168S "Angler of the Year" rod paired a Citica 200E and 10# 100% Berkley Flourocarbon. I have used this rod and reel for spinnerbaits, texas rigs, jigs, and square billed crankbaits and it seems to work great with all of them. Quote

flippin and pitchin Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 That's a difficult question because the set up for large mouth vs. small mouth are so different. The set up I use the most, month in and month out is a Lamiglas Certified Pro XFT764 and I just updated them from Revo SX's to Revo Premiers. I always carry two, one with a creature bait and one with a jig. Line is YoZuri Hybrid 20 LB. Quote

Nebraska Bassin Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Spinning: Shimano Symetre 2500 with 14# Trilene XL low-viz green on an All-Star Titanium 6'6" M/F rod. Cheap combo, but it works great. The reel's the smoothest I've ever used and the rod is plenty sensitive for throwing plastic. Casting: I only have one rig right now, it's even cheaper than my spinning rig. ;D Daiwa ProCaster Rojo 100HL with 17# Trilene XL on a Shimano Sojourn 6'6" M/F rod. I'm impressed with the reel so far, it casts a mile if I need it to but works well for flipping as well. The rod seems decent for such a cheap rod, but right now I'm just using the rod mainly as something I can use while I'm getting my baitcasting mojo back, and once I really get into using my baitcaster again I'll get a better rod and use the Shimano as a spare. My dad has a G.Loomis Bronzeback casting rod that he hasn't taken out of the package since he bought it a couple years ago, and I'm trying to talk him out of it, but so far he doesn't want to sell it.
