The Best set up?

[Ash]

hey all,

Ive just been drooli- Im mean reading the latest Shimano catolgue. The question that kept coming up in my mind was \"If money was not a problem, what sort of set up would i get?\"

So i thought i throw the question out to the rest of you all.

Doesnt matter the brand, because as millionaires you can choose what you want!

[shortie]

that would totally depend on what you want to use it for.

[jeff f]

ian miller 15-24kg bwb tcurve rod and a

torsa 40 would do me out of the shimano catalogue

oh all ready got the rod

also want the full catalogue of van staahl reels

some avets

an accurate or two

then i'd have to go looking for rods to put them on

[kevinchen19870316]

freshwater: abu ZPI AE47 + MEGABASS DESTROYER 3 6'6

estuary: daiwa alphas 103 + daiwa steez 7'

i am not lucky enough to stay OK on an offshore boat...

[Ash]

good stuff indeed. All we need is to win the lottery.

Shortie, doesnt matter, list them all!

Your allowed more then 1 rod

[kevinchen19870316]

If you went often enough you'd get over it. When I was a kid and my parents fist bought a 20 footer that could go offshore I used to get sick a fair bit. Especially when tying knots, pulling up the anchor etc. After a while I learnt to just ignore it and eventually it went away completely. Mind over matter. That said, I'd probably need some practice to get my sea legs back.

[kevinchen19870316]

yeah, but i'd rather believe i cannot overcome it before i can afford a boat and some serious offshore tackle. hehe

[Cowfish13]

I would probably get a 2 piece, 7' 2-4kg Tcurve matched with either a Stella:D, Aspire, that new reel (the red one, I can't remember what it is called now) or a Twin Power.

Hopefully with christmas coming up, I may be able to afford the Twin Power and Tcurve combo. But a more reasonable one would be the Twin Power with either a Raider rod or Starlo Stix of the same weight.

Thats for light fishing, With heavy fishing, I'd like a Torsa with some sort of Tcurve. But not much chance of that happening:(

I'm not really sure, not really a prima donna when it comes to gear, as long as it works it'll do me!

I'm with you Feral. As long as it all works I dont care.

But I would by a nice tinny to hit the outside reefs.

hey cowfish were you thinking of the new fire blood reel? its a great looking reel im pretty sure they go for about 600 bukkaroonies

[Angus]

Yeah they are Blood fires.

I think the money Twin Powers and bloody great. Less than half the price of a Stella but far from half as good. Same goes for teh Stradic, they are a fantastic reel for the price. And the new Stadic looks great. Match that with a 1 peice or two peice Starlo Stick or one of the ones by Ian Miller, great setup for your bass, bream flathead etc.

That's why I want a Twin Power. With a Drag capacity of 15lb's on the 2500, I'll be able to use it for Bream (with 2-4lb braid) and then Snapper (with 10lb braid). And it looks awesome.

Yep was thinking of the Fireblood.

[shortie]

give me the diawa sol over the stradic or twin power.

i believe a 2500 siz reel is to big for bream. either 1500 or 2000.

Ordered another sol and a diawa exist 2004 today

[Cowfish13]

I'm using roughly a 2500 reel now and I can cast a long way with light lures. The drag on the 1500 Twin Power is only 7lb and it has a small line capacity. I'll be using it for both Bream and Snapper, so I want an inbetween reel. Not dedicated enough to spend that much money for a reel I can only use for specific sized species:). The 2500 Twin Power is small enough in physical size for confortable casting as well. Alot smaller than some other reels of the same size (2500)

[James W]

now now ash..if you had all that money wouldnt you give it all away to various charities to make the world a better place?..spend it on fishing gear?...tsk tsk:P .......id get the entire ian miller range for a start i reckon

[MichaelJ]

this is intirely differant but if i won lotto id get house on canals then by fishing gear lol heaps of fish live in canals round here lol probly get a 1 or 2000 size daiwa sol cause they look cool and reel is really smooth and any good rod lol

[Ash]

Jimmy, you bet i would! I was of course meaning after all those donations!

Well, its $10 million this Thurs, so good luck to all!

(not too much luck though as I am buying a ticket and i dont like to share!)
