Right now, it has to be my Abu Garcia 5600 C4 reel (approximately $90), its just beautiful in my mind, with the dark blue body with deep gold accents. It has a fast retrieve that i prefer with my jigs and worms, and I have it attached to a $50 dollar Castaway MH rod. The rod has great backbone but a quick tip for sensitivity which I really like when jigging and worming. A combined total of $140 bucks, which is nothing for some people but was a lot for me at the time, and it handles better than many other much more expensive combos that I have held. I really love the round reel look, much more classic to me.
