My favorite rod/reel combo is my Quantum Baitcaster Reels with a Shimano Convengence 10'6" Rod OR 7' Stafford Pig Stick.

I know I'm going against the game with naming two rods, but with the variety of fish rod length if everything.

Regardless, the reels are crisp, have unbelievable line intake rates, and super smooth drags. The rods can flip docks or run cranks for bass, float skien or run thundersticks for salmon and steelhead. Just thinking about it gets me pumped up!!!!

Only downside is each rod is quite heavy. Still looking for the wonder of a lite flippin' stick.
