tell us about your best combo and WHY
My best combo is not my most expensive...but I have one rod and reel that is my confidence outfit..
It's a 50.00 Team Diawa 6 1/2 foot spinning medium heavy one piece rod..
I like the black rod and gold trim..My reel has gold trim so it looks top shelf..
The rod is sturdy and very sensitive yet the tip is fast enough to fish a Rooster tail inline spinner..It's my main rod no matter what lure I'm fising..all my other rods take the 2nd spot
The reel..a Symetre Shimano ...6.1 ratio
Very attractive reel...nice gold trim matching the rod
6.1 your totallly in control
very smooth..
It has 2 spools..when I use spinnrbaits..I use the 12 pound mono spool.
For worming / nightfishing I use the 20 pound braid..no backlashes at night and cast a country mile.
Yes sir..been fishing for 50 years..this is the BEST rod and reel outfit I've ever had.
backbone..yep..I have no worries..small fish are fun and big ones even in weeds..just put her in 4 wheel drive..she's a muscle rod..that is semi light and very sensitive...feel? like a 200.00 tennis racket..totally balanced like it's part of your arm.{ -;
