post your pride and joy (reel & rod)

[MichaelJ]

wana see what every1s favorite rod and reel combo from any type of fishing

mines a torsa 16 with 30lb braid and a gary howard 10-15kg custom job has caught me lots of good fish:woohoo:

[Cowfish13]

That is a hard question.

Probably would be my Twin Power 2500 with 4lb nitlon braid. On a 2-4kg T-curve Tournament:)

[Mozza]

Mines an Abu Garcia Revo STX with 20lb platypus Super braid on a Berkley 4-8kg Dropshot

[Leighton]

Hard decision but for balance and fish stopping ability

Egrell S10

Daiwa Certate 3500HD [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/mack_tuna__egrell_AFO.jpg

I had a play with a Megabass at Fishead the other day Kev, it was a 2-4kg number. A really nice bit of gear, plenty of power in the butt and a forearm support

[kevinchen19870316]

yeah, i love my MB as well. if i hadn't lost that many fish on wednesday, i'd write megabass fullhouse 3-11lb + caldia kix 2000 instead of that BC combo.

[MichaelJ]

k so heres mine

My favrouite at the moment because I havent done much other fising is my bream rod it is a 1-2kg Shikari Gary Howard Custom built rod with a 1000 Shimano Stradic with 4lb platipus superbraid.

[fishyman]

atm it would be my custom 1-2kg stick and 1000 stradic,

BUT soon it will be 08 Twinpower 2000 and new custom 1-3kg

[Angus]

My Two Twin Powers.

Twin Power 100FB & Twin Power 2500FB.

Not in this photo, but both now matched with starlo sticks.

Currently it's one of those latest Stradics 2500 on a TD Sol rod

I plan to buy a TD Sol for the Sol rod, (or maybe an 08 twin power) and put the stradic on antoher rod

we can match terry , i should be ordering mine any day now so when it arrives your more than welcome to have a feel mate if you want.

[Gazza]

Rods I have had heaps and still have heaps but as far as reels go the most used and loved would be my Old swedish built ABU 7000 it fishes Surf LBG boat bottom bashing jigging lures the list goes on the most versatile reel I've owned by far

Gaz

[Cowfish13]

Yeah, the old swedish built Abu's are indestructible:)

[pinkey]

Team Daiwa Tierra 1500, 4lb crystal and 2lb stren microfuse. Matched with a Shimano Raider bream finesse.. With a modified fly guide tip thing

[Cando]

For me it's my loomis dsr8200 2-6lb with a sol 2000 on... Love the rod that much I now have 2 of them

[Dan23]

Great rod Kev.

I just got a TD A3000 to match my 10-17lb Advantage.

Also love my TP2500 but not that happy with my rack raider.

Soon I'll be purchasing and Alphas 103L and then a nice BC rod to match.

Once that's done I'll get an UL combo for casting weightless plastics. Maybe a Daiwa InFeet??

So much tackle to little time.

[kevinchen19870316]

haha, same here. i want another BC combo

[Beefa]

Mine is my Loomis Mossy Back 6-12lb with a Twin Power 2500

haha, better yet

if I buy a sol for the sol, a twin power for a custom rod I want to get made, and then put the stradic on this little asian brand rod I want to get.....

Then everything would be sweet:)

[Dan23]

Righto here's my new combo I just tried out today. Feels great and will get an absolute flogging in the coming weeks. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/combo.jpg

[Cowfish13]

I did say it was hard, but this is my Twin Power T-curve combo:)

Bit of a dodgy pic tho:dry:

1 month 2 weeks before i get mine i cant wait!

[Cowfish13]

And a Symetre with 15lb Platypus superbraid on a Pfluegar Trion rod. My favourite combo to use out in the bay:) [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Trion___Symetre_AFO.jpg

[Dan23]

They're a good mix of outfits there Cowfish:)

Looks like your reels on backwards.:laugh:

[fishyman]

i agree

for a second there i thought the pick of the symetre was mounted backwards on the rod lol

[Cowfish13]

Nah, one of those extended butt section rods(like Dan's, just not as expensive). Really good for casting:)

Yeah plus they lock in under your armpit perfectly when fighting a fish to take some pressure off your arm.

[Confused]

well i'm stimply blown away by the feel of my fireblood combo, 1-2kg + 2500, First cast with a sx40 landed me a 40cm cod at the shultz [img size=320]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/fireblood_combo-efb01be0c1cef32dfe521bcc9481adcd.jpg

[Angus]

Confused I like the handle on that fireblood.

Very nice.

Angus

[ellicat]

My favourite is a Wilson Live Fibre 15-24kg with a Daiwa SLD3 2 Speed which I spool with 15kg mono for the beach sharks. When using in the boat I top it up with braid. Usually 30lb but currently 50lb as I was hopeful of something exciting on the recent charter.

The tip's sensitive enough to detect a 6inch flattie in 30/40 metres of water but the butts strong enough to tackle some larger creatures from the deep.

[jeff f]

ian miller t-curve 15-24kg bluewater baticaster with a calcutta700 loaded with 40lbs braid

great for bottom bashing and casts a mile

the colors match perfectly

[Brian D]

Mine would have to be the blacksheep 250 loaded with 50lb whiplash on a 7'2" custom ugly. Why - because it won me a profish;) [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/P3290069_AFO.jpg
