What's your rod and reel combo???

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Multi Species: e21 Carrot Stix Gold 7' Spinning one-piece with an Abu Garcia Soron STX40 reel.

That's like spitting in the face of a non-sponsored angler :(

Great description of the gear... the Froggin' rod has me interested.

Don't be fooled by anyone Kovy....I paid for all my gear so I can never be accused of that.....just ask Birdee... :lol:

I just can't give up that Frog rod yet....it's a goodie.

Hey RJ. You use these rods for carp too?

Nice rod selection RJ.


Every year I upgrade a couple of my all purpose combos. I need a few more but they'll have to wait for Carp next spring.
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

Please feel free to stand in front of them!!!

I will be trying my luck at LS Sunday and Monday.
Nice gear collection by the way. I actually learned a thing or two about technique just looking at them :-)

I currently use a 6'6" shimano Compre med/heavy with a Curado caster for any non-carp fishing. The kids use cheaper spinning gear. I think Shimano Soujourn is the rod name.

Holy gear RJ...whatever happened to rod...reel...lure...cast...curse...tangle....tear....throw in lake! I have about 6 rods and reels but they all do the same job...Catch fish. That could be why I am an amature fisherman and not a pro!
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.

nice rod covers RJ

Post by C5 »

RJ I too like the gear... but that is an impressive display.. especially the rod covers coloured matched to the Ranger! I am interested to note the overall length of all your rods.. Hmmm.

I use a 4 rod system.. but have just sent this pic off to my wife:) Pro or not, hate to be out geared:)

Craig converted me to use a Shimano FX-4000 combo for EVERYTHING.

It's a bit small on the downrigger, just can't fish as deep.
I'm interested to see how it performs this winter on the ice.
:shock: :lol: :lol:
