Whats your setup??

[ryan808]

I'm curious to see what type of gear you got.... What setups...

I'll start my line up:
(All my sticks are wrapped by your truly)

Jig Stick (Caster): St. Croix SCVI MH with a Daiwa Zillion
Drop Shot Rod (spinning): St. Croix SCIV ML with a Diawa Advantage
Finesse Stick (Caster): Lami XMG50 ML strapped with a Daiwa SOL
Crank Rod (Caster): MHX M with a Daiwa Aggrest

My favorite: my sons little spiderman pole, its a blast seeing that pole bend over backwards and hearing the reel scream.

Whats in your bag?

Spinning: Eagle Claw "Water Eagle" combo spooled with 6 lb utility mono, purchased for $7 to fish with my 5 yr old niece (I also purchased a tiny Barbi spincast combo to serve the same end, but I usually let her use that one).

Since you posted this in the Bass fishing section, I'm assuming your just looking for bass setups?
Casting rods:
Lamiglas Competitor 703 with a Abu Garcia Revo S
St. Croix PC60MF with a Daiwa Exceler 100H
Lamiglas Rock Creek A704 with a old Daiwa Magforce
Quantum 6' with a Lew's speed spool
My first casting rod & reel. An LCI composites (Loomis, I think?) 6' with a Abu 4600cb that's just as old. 24 years or so?

Spinning:
Berkley Series One SOS701M with a Pflueger Trion 4735 GX
Berkley Tactix TXS661MF with a Shimano Sahara 1500
St. Croix Triumph TRS60MF with a Diawa Exceler 1500
Shakespeare Axiom 7MH with a Shimano Sonora 2500

I've read a lot of posts on other bass fishing forums saying the 1500 series spinning reels are too small. I've never had a problem with them and they balance really nice on a lightweight 6'-6'6" rod.

Browning, between the Sahara and the Exceler, which one is smoother and better drag? I was thinking about getting a smaller spinning reel for an ultralight setup Im building right now.

 

[Browning]

If I HAD to choose between the two I'd go with the Sahara. I picked up the Daiwa on clearance, and i've been very happy with it. But all the rest of my spinning reels except for two Pfluegers are Shimanos. I also have a Sahara 2500 on my steelhead spinning rod. For the price, I really dont think you can beat the Saharas.

Bass all-in-one combo
Lamiglas Competitor Shimano Sahara2500

Its sure is fun, makes all bass fun to catch, even the dinks

 

[ryan808]

Great sharing guys, I see the majority of the gear out here is Lamiglas and Im surprised no one mentioned Loomis.

Steelhead.... lamiglas xmg 50 9 1/2' topped with a abu garcia revo sx.

Salmon rods are all lamiglas topped with shimmano reels.
