I was checking out the XXX rattle viper, but I thought of using it for smaller moving baits.

I have a lot of unfished gear currently...but right now my "fun factor" setup would be a Steez SV TW (6.3:1) on a '16 Megabass Destroyer F3-610X Hein w/13# Sunline Defier Armilo. Seriously an awesome looking/feeling setup and so fun to fish.

Different line, same combo, amazing, the fun factor is high with this one. They look and feel like they were made for each other :big grin:

Got quite a few. Down here if you fish most places you need some heavy equipment. I have figured out that I really dont need more than 3 "heavy" setups for a day on Lake Okeechobee. So that being said, I decided to get back to what really was fun for me, and that was getting out and fishing with lighter setups. Now, light down here is M or MH outfits with 10-12lb mono or 30lb braid. So, I revamped my setups to this. My Curado50E has 30lb braid on a MH F Phenix Lee Smith Custom rod for small swim jigs. Scorpion XT1000 with 30lb braid on a M F Point Blank Lee Smith Custom rod for light T rigs with 1/8oz weight. Aldebaran MG with 20lb Seaguar Senshi on a MH F Crucial for T rigs with 1/4oz weight. Pixy PX68R with 10lb Seaguar Senshi on a M F Defy for T rigs with 1/16oz weight. I do have another reel on the way that I will be able to use for lighter baits as well. I have a few spare rods laying around, so I will see which one it fits better on. I will probably spool it with 20lb Senshi, and use it for pitching heavier T rig baits or worms.

As for pure fun factor, I would pick my Grey's 3wt with an Echo Solo 2/3. For my conventional setup my "BFS" Daiwa Fuego and my 13 Gen 1 Omen 6'10" ML casting rod.

for shim combos: ulitma or glorious 6'2" w/ ktf ald50bfs. for daiwa: skyray 6'3" w/ is73 or f-spec 7'1" w/ 103sha. honorable mentions: cumulus 6'5" w/ ktf alde50 (7.2oz total with line), eg stingray ss 6'3" w/ sv105xh, mb super eiger w/ is73. in the queue yet to fish: steez rd 6'4" w/ sv103h-tn, it should be fun as well :D

The funnest for me is throwing hollow bodies in the rice, reeds, pads with a Tatula 7'4"H and Tatula 7:1 reel.

Boy. Any of my setups is fun whenever the fishing is good. And any of my setups is "whatever" when I'm getting skunked, LOl.
