3'3" pushbutton, Mickey Mouse Limited Edition for all technigues.

So, how are you liking that MMLE? I've been using a Snoopy for a few years now and have been thinking about stepping up to the MMLE next season, or maybe even a JDM Pokemon setup...if I can save up another $5.

I'm still waiting on TackleTour to do a high-end bobber shootout.

I've seen a few threads on topics where people post their setup in a thread about a given technique and other threads asking if their equipment can cover every technique, etc., but no comprehensive list of what everyone uses.

Let's hear your rod/reel/line setup for:

1) Flipping

2) Carolina rig

3) Spinnerbait

4) Frogging

5) Drop shotting

6) Shaky head

7) Swimbait

8) Crankbait

9) Weightless plasics

10) Jig fishing

11) Texas rig

For each, specify your:

1) Rod length and power

2) Reel model & manufacturer

3) Line type, test, & manufacturer[/shimano

I fish everything on 30lb PowerPro braid.  Yes, even crankbaits!  I also switch the reels and rods in and out depending if I am fishing a pond or the river and the conditions.

Chronarch 50 MG on a 6' 3 M Johnny Morris Elite-Weightless plastics such as senkos.

Shimano Chronarch 50 MG on a 6' 6 MH Johnny Morris Elite-weighted plastics

Shimano Curado 200E7 on a 6' 8 MH Johnny Morris Elite-Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, frogs

Shimano Curado 100D on a 6' 6 ML BPS Pro Finesse-Crankbaits

Shimano Curado 100D on a 6' 6 M BPS Pro Finesse-really light weightless plastics

Shimano Chronarch 50 MG on a 6'6 M BPS Pro Finesse-This one has a broken tip and is only about 6'3 now with a new tip and performs more like a MH rod.  Therfore I throw weighted plastics with it in the small river that I fish in.

Abu Garcia Revo Inshore on a 6'6 M Carbonlite-This rod doesn't match this reel well at all but it works ok for light tackle shore fishing at the beach.  I bought it to fish with the revo for light inshore and to swap out and fish crankbaits on some also.  It pulls double duty sometimes.

I don't fish jigs because they get hung up too much and don't catch half the fish a weighted plastic worm does in the river I fish.  I don't fish a drop shot because the deepest water I fish all year long is probably 15 feet deep with the majority being 10 ft. or less.  I don't flip or pitch because I have never really needed to.  Casting works fine in the situations that I fish.  There is no need to throw a Carolina rig in the situations I described above.  I have never tried shakey head fishing, the fish bite weighted finesse worms just fine but I may give it a try in late winter when the fish are less aggressive.

1st off, awesome post...I will always take time from work to organize my rigs hahaha.

1. Pitching Stick: 7'0 MH Daiwa Procyon. Shimano Curado 200E7. 65# braid. Jigs and T-rigged craws

2. Frog Rod: 7'0 MH Daiwa Procyon. Shimano Citica 200E. 50# braid. Buzzfrog, spro frog, or swim jig depending on the conditions.

3. Worm Rod: 6'10 Fenwick HMG. Shimano Cruxis 200. 17# Fluoro. 10" worms or spinnerbait depending on the conditions (and if I bring my crappy Spinnerbait rig).

4. Cranking Stick: 7'0 MH American Rodsmith David Fritts Glass. 12-15# Fluoro. All kinds of crankbaits.

5. Spinnerbait Rod: 6'6 MH Berkley something or rather with a crappy bass pro reel that has lasted forever and will not give up. 15# mono. (I've won tournaments with this rig haha I can't believe it).

6. Spinning Rig: 6'10 MH Rapala R-Type. Shimano Sahara. 15-20# braid with 12# fluoro leader. Senkos or finesse worms.

7. Spinning Rig2: 6'6 M Shimano Sojourn. Shimano Sahara. 15# braid with 8-12# fluoro leader. Drop Shot.

I've got enough to cover my bases....but I still spend $$ upgrading hahaha.

My setup is pretty simple:

G Loomis BCR803 GLX / Shimano Curado 51E / 12# 100% Fluoro for weightless plastics, small jigs, small top water & jerkbaits

St. Croix Avid AVC70MHF / Shimano Curado 201E7 / 55# Daiwa Samurai braid for all larger plastics, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swim jigs, traps, large topwater and frogs

Powell Glass Crankbait rod 703CB-Glass / Revo Winch / 40# Daiwa Samurai with whatever type of leader I need for my crank bait arsenal.

Shimano Compre CPS-66MHB / Pflueger Arbor / 20# fireline general purpose spinning applications but mostly tubes or really windy shore fishing.

I have several other rods including backups and reels but these are my goto setups.

1)Don't flip, but I do pitch jigs and plastics a lot with my jig setup and weightless plastics setup

2)Daiwa Cielo 7' Heavy Fast, Shimano Calcutta 200 TE DC, P-Line CXX Copolymer 12# Test

3)Falcon 6'8" Med. Heavy XFast, Shimano Curado 100D, YoZuri Hybrid Ultrasoft Copolymer 12# Test

6)G.Loomis BCR Mossyback 7' Medium Fast, Shimano Conquest 50S, YoZuri Hybrid Copolymer 8# Test

7)None yet, hoping to get something soon

8)Dobyns Champion 705CB 7' Medium Moderate Fast, Daiwa Alphas Ito 103-Ai, P-Line Halo Fluorocarbon 10# Test

9)Berkley Bionix 6'6" Medium Heavy Fast, Daiwa Alphas Ito 103-Ai, YoZuri Hybrid Copolymer 10# Test

10)Daiwa Cielo 6'6" Medium Heavy Fast, Daiwa Alphas Ito 103-Ai, P-Line CXX Copolymer 10# Test

11)Same as #10 - I typically have a jig and a weightless plastic setup and switch between the two, and use my jig setup to throw weighted texposed rigs when jigs aren't working well

Probably close to the order I use them ...

Custom (Otterods) NFC 7' MH Fast w/ Shimano Curado 50e - Jigs & T-rigs - 12lbs Invisx

Custom (DG Rodworks) G. Loomis 844 IMX w/ Shimano Curado 100D - Jigs & T-rigs - 12 lbs Invisx

St Croix Legend Tournament 6'8" M xfast w/ Shimano Scorpion Mg - This is my "spinning set up", Finesse applications with 6 lbs Invisx

Shimano Compre Crankbait Rod 7' MH w/ Team Daiwa Advantage 150P - Lipless & Medium to Deep Crankbaits - 12 lbs Invisx

Abu Garcia Veritas 7' H w/ Shimano Citica 200e - Braid applications - 50 lbs Sufix braid

Abu Garcia Veritas 7' MH w/ Shimano Citica 200e - Heavy cover jigs & Trigs 20 lbs Abrazx

Okuma Swimbait rod 7'6" w/ Shimano Cardiff 400 - Swimbaits - 20 lbs Sufix Siege

Coming soon .....

Shimano Cumara 7' M Xfast w/ Shimano Stradic Ci4 - Deep water vertical presentations - 6lbs Invisx

TBD 6' to 6'6" w/ Shimano Curado 50e - Topwaters & jerkbaits - 12 lbs Yo-Zuri hybrid

Posted

I don't have enough gear to fill out the whole list. I don't really use all of those techniques anyway.

7' M Garcia Veritas/BPS Pro Qualifier Tournament -spinnerbaits/squarebills 15# Vicious fc

6'6" M Daiwa TDS Crankin/Spinnerbait/BPS Carbonlite - topwater/lipless cranks 14# mono (undecided which brand I like better)

7' M Garcia Veritas/Daiwa Fuego 5:1 - med/deep cranks 12# YoZuri Hybrid

7' MH Daiwa Steez/BPS Pro Qualifier Tournament -plastics & finesse jigs 15# Vicious fc

7'1" H Steez/BPS Pro Qualifier Tournament - jigs/heavy plastics & c-rigs (when I have no other choice) 15# Vicious fc

6'9" ML Daiwa Fuego/Daiwa Sol 2000 - dropshot/shaky 8# Berkley 100%

I have a few other things, but my rod box really won't hold much more than this comfortably. It's probably for the best anyways. Most days I probably keep one of the Steez rods in my hands 90% of the time. The rest is there just so I can feel like I'm a versatile fisherman! ;D
