Your favorite rod and reel?

[killinmammals]

Mine would have to be my diawa viento reel/Quantum KVD 7' hvy worm rod(fiberglass). I love my viento, that twitchin bar comes in handy for more than just twitchin your bait. Its my favorite all around combo. Of course it's got some 14lb stren mono on it...I've been thinking about trying some of the newer braids for the summer. Any body know of some good braids that act like a mono?

I don't know of any "braids" that act like mono, but I'd try some Berkley Fireline if I were going to try a super line. They are awesome for jigging and Super Flukes.

My favorite combo is a cork/foam handled IM-7 Abu Garcia Rod (yes Rod, from the early 90's) and a Quantum Energy E-2 with 14# Fireline.

BPS Xtreme new models... 6''6 falcoln original casting rod with 12 lb yo zuri lline.

I prefer cane poles myself. ;)

No braid is going to act like mono, as they're totally different materials designed for different applications. But, if you're wanting the advantages of braid in a fairly easy-handling line, I'd look at FireLine Crystal. It's a little smoother than regular FireLine, especially once it's "broken in" a little bit. Awesome line.

Fireline is great, as far as combo I'll take my Team Diawa X 103 on a Loomis GLX 7'0 or GL3 844.

abu Garcia 6000-7000 Shakespear 6'6' Sturdy Stick Boat rods. Spooled with 40lb. Berkley Big Game- aint nothin' tuffer for big river blues and flatheads. I prefer Tiger rods for drift fishing both rivers and lakes.

7' Cabelas Fish Eagle II with ABU 4600.

[drakeshooter]

Pflueger Supreme on a G. Loomis IMX, strung with any Stren brand line.

Give me a cheap Akuno spinning reel with the proper two piece Johnny Morris spinning rod and Im happy......Ive got several high dollar bait casting reels and Ive found that a spinning reel is alot easier to fish especially with light line..........

[piebald buster]

Shimano reel with a 6'6" black beauty rod is one of my favorites.

[dipits]

G Lumas 6 ft. ultra light with 4 lb. line

[C.L.Button]

Fenwick one piece 6 1/2 ft light spinning rod, Shakesp reel with 4lb clear Stren. Great all around light outfit. ;)

[Harold]

My favorite combo would be my Abu-Garica C-5 6600/ G-Loomis GL2 Med-Heavy 7"0.

[trust me]

Daiwa Pro-Lite 100, 1982 vintage, on a Berkley graphite. Followed closely by a 1972 Ambassadeur 5000 on a heavy 6 ft. fiberglass Lew's. With a big spinnerbait it casts like a sniper rifle.

My favorite spinning reel was a Garcia 408 on a mystery brand graphite 1 piece 5.5 ft rod. This one fell victim to a 3 year old but it sure wore a bunch of smallmouth out in its time.

[Foam Steak]

My favorite is the one in my hand! Seriously, I guess my favorite would have to be my big Penn saltwater rig, because when I am using that rod I am on vacation and having a good time catching some monster fish.

[kybowhunter64]

Zebco 33. Thats the best set up out there.

[Auk1124]

An old Ryobi V-Mag 4 that I bought second hand for 20 bucks back in the mid 80's. If I ever wear that sucker out I'll cry.
