I use shimano reels for everything. All Curado's and one Castaic for flipping. For line I use Berkley big game for 15lb and stronger and triple fish for anything lighter. The only exception is when drop-shotting I like to use clear line so I use Trilene XT or P-line.

This talk about line brings up a question I have for Rob. When using triple fish, do you tie to any certain color depending on water clarity. I'm color blind anyway so it's hard to tell, but it just seems like the color coming right off the bait could possibly make a difference.
