Which 2 rods and reels are you guys going to mainly use this season?
Re: Which 2 rods and reels are you guys going to mainly use this season?
conquest 101 with zodias 7'6'' glass for cranking and met 13 xg with dobyns champion 734 for 4.8" keitechs are the two most used combos when i'm out fishing...i bring a total of 6 setups with me each time but find i use these two the most all day...
Re: Which 2 rods and reels are you guys going to mainly use this season?
Hey everyone, as for me, I cant decide at all...use both of them)))
Re: Which 2 rods and reels are you guys going to mainly use this season?
Well I think I went way past the buy 2 limit of this thread and not sure if I can narrow it down to using just 2 but I’d say I’ve been using the loomis imx pro 884 twfr paired with the chronarch mgl for frogs, and the kistler helium lta medium heavy fast paired with another chronarch mgl. I believe the next rod will be a glx or nrx in the 893 or 894!

Wow...this changed.ccass wrote:It usually varies by season for me but overall I'd say:
1. 7' M Steez Fle-X-Lite paired with Steez SV TW 7.1
2. Custom punch rod (Phenix K2 765, extended to 8'9") with a Zillion TWS 9.1. If the rod doesn't have the power to punch than I will most likely either build another custom or I will just get the 8' Archangel.
Last year, top combos were:
7' M Steez Fle-X-Lite with a T31016 (SV Spool) for spring and fall.
Archangel 7'2" MH with a T3 AIR (SV custom) 8.6.
This year:
1. K2 714 custom with Steez SV TW
2. 9'3" St Croix Legend Glass (custom) with 12 Antares
1. So versatile.
2. Getting addicted to deep cranking

To start this spring I will be using a Conquest rod and Stella FJ for local rivers.
After that I will be using all other rods from boat
super excited for the snow and ice to go away even though I love ice fishing...

Overall:
1. Daiwa Silver Creek AGS 52L with Daiwa Alphas AIR Stream Custom
2. Phenix K2 714 custom with Daiwa Steez CT SV TW 8.1
1. Plan on doing a lot of trout fishing. Panfish as well
2. Will use this for everything...bass, walleye...whatever.

Which two?? That does not compute.
If I had to throw all but two Fargo style into a wood chipper, I suppose I'd...
Christ, I don't know! I'd probably just dive in head first to avoid trying to make that impossible decision.

Re: Which 2 rods and reels are you guys going to mainly use this season?
Hmm this year I think I'll start with
Steez 701MH racing design + steez A or steez 105ltd or steez CT sv
Steez 761mmlfs ags + tatula LT silver
UPS update says my RD arrives by the end of the day today, but I'm 16h drive away from my house for the whole week so I won't even be there to take delivery, hopefully my wife doesn't look at the invoice
