This is for all you tackle-ho's. I've been spending the last year assembling what I feel is the "Ultimate" bass rod and reel arsenal, but I want to know what you guys feel are the best for:

All around best combo:

Light Worming/Finesse:

Senkos/Creatures:

Jigging:

Crankbaits:

Topwater/Popping:

Swimbaits:

Spinnerbaits:

Drop Shotting/Split Shotting:


My current "ultimate" setups include:
IMX MBR783 / Calais CL200
GL3 CR723 / Calais 100A
GL3 SJR783 / Capricorn 2000 (should probably upgrade to a stella =)
MBR 783 / CT200GT
GUSA 66ULXF / TD-Z 105H
GUSA 70MXF / TD-X 100HSF
GUSA 70HXF / CT300te
GUSA 80XF / CT400te

LOL Loomis you wont find the ultimate bass combos in the US you will have to get it all from japan

HLZ611mhrb paired w/ tdz103hl-R

hlz66ulfs drop shot rod (guides cost more than a loomis) w/ td arir meatal 1500

There is 1200.00 for one combo who has one better?

i usea zebco push button rod and reel combo with the line they put on there.the only pain is getting them to throw swimbaits,and the plastic packaging they put them in.

My all time favorite set-up is my K-mart special with snoopy on the rod and a spin cast reel. I have put a ton of fish in the boat with that...I recommend it to every one:7
