I don't really have set combos, partly because I have more rods than reels, but this is what I have:

Casting Rods:

St Croix Avid 6'6" MHF

St Croix Mojo Bass 7' MHF

Fenwick Goldenwing IM7 6'6" M-no action rating on this, but I would call it fast

Acadia Sports F series 7'MH-again no action rating, but I would call it fast

Ugly Stik 6'M

Casting Reels:

Curado E5 spooled with 12lb Triplefish camo mono

Abu Garcia C4 4600 with 15lb Big game

Daiwa Advantage 150H with 30lb stren super braid

Spinning Rods:

Ugly Stik Lite Pro 2 pc 7'M

Acadia F series 2 pc 6'6" M

Spinning reels:

Pflueger Trion 4730

Gander MTN. Guide series Metal 20

both spinning reels have 10lb spiderwire stealth on one spool and either 6 or 8lb trilene xl on the other. Which I use depends on which rod I'm putting it on, the technique I plan on using, and water clarity.

(hopefully) coming soon

Casting rod

7'medium moderate for cranks (so far I've looked at BPS carbonlite, BPS crankin stick, and carrot stix wild)

Casting reels:

I need at least 2 more, 3 more when I get the cranking rod I want. I plan on getting a BPS carbonlite at the reel trade in sale this weekend which will take care of the first one. For the other two, I'm considering one of the new Lew's speed spools and an Ardent c400.

I'll give it a shot since my setups most of the time serve multiple duties.

Crankbait: Berkeley Amp 7ft Medium Power

            Quantum Kinetic PTI-B20

            Yo-Zure Ultra Soft, 6# test

           

Spinnerbait,Shakey Head,Weightless Plastics & Jig Fishing: Cabelas Mag Touch 6'6" Medium Power. Reel:Quantum Catalyst PTI-A20

                                          Line: P-Line CXX Blue, 6lb Test

Frogging: Cabelas XMLTi 6'6" Meduim Heavy

            Quantum Energy BC/LH

            Trilene 12# Mono (For now but switching to 30lb braid)

Guess that's it for me but I do have other setups I use as well

Things have really changed since we originally started this list and my setups have changed as well.

My Crankbait setups:

Casting=Kistler Mag TS 7'M/MF, Daiwa Exceler 6.3:1 spooled with Cabelas 12# Flouro.

Spinning=Cabelas Prodigy 7' M/F,Quantum Catalyst PTi-B20 spooled with Cabelas 6# Flouro

My Spinnerbait setup:

Spinning=Cabelas Mag Touch 6'6" M, Quantum Catalyst PTi-A20 spooled with Power Pro 30# braid.

Flipping,Frogging,Jig setup:

Casting=Cabelas XML 6'6" H/F, Quantum Accurist spooled with Power Pro 30# braid.

Drop Shot setup:

Spinning=Cabelas Mag Touch MGTS69DS 6'9" M/F, Rainbow BM 1000 spooled with Power Pro 30# braid.

I'll add my other setups later

Casting:

Dobyns 704 - Shimano Citica w/12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid -- Texas rigs, jigs, bottom contact

Dobyns 733 - Shimano Citica w/12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid -- Cranks, lipless cranks, small spinnerbaits

Dobyns 734 - Shimano Citica w/15lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid -- Spinnerbaits, senkos, plastics in moderate cover

Shimano Crucial CRCX76MH - Shimano Citica w/50lb Power Pro -- Heavy cover, frogs, flippin

Pinnacle 762CAMH - Shimano Cardiff w/40lb Power Pro -- Swimbaits, horny toads, buzzbaits, jigs

Spinning:

Shimano Crucial CRSDX72M - Shimano Sahara w/20lb Power Pro + leader -- Drop Shot, lightweight texas rigs, giggy heads

Going to give the Yo-Zuri a thorough testing for the next few months now that I've got some different rods to play around with. So far so good. If I end up not liking it, I'll probably switch the three rods that have it back over to braid with a leader.
