I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

[SaltyDog]

Here's my current arsenal. I know it's not as vast as most, but it does a pretty nice job in the pinch. Still would like an 8' Tica for casting hardware, but might have to wait until Santa shows up in his Boston Whaler.

9' Tica/Daiwa BG20 - flings from 2-6 oz. Great combo! I use it primarily for hardware.

10' Tica/Okuma ST-50 - flings 2-8 oz. Great all-purpose rig.

10' Tzunami/Penn CV6000 - 3-6 0z. My wife's fav. She says it just looks good. BTW, works good too.

12' OM/Daiwa BG60 - 6-12 oz. New, but hoping it's going to cast its advertized weight and handle the bigger fish.

Now . . . what's everyone else's preferred rod/reel combos??????????????

[OldBay]

My Saltwater Quiver holds 6 rods currently.

8' redwolf ocean city $20 special with matching reel.
9' tica 1-3 oz, with Fin-Nor S500.
9' Sage RPLXi 8wt, with Ross Cimaron reel.
10.5' tica 2-8 oz, with Shimano Stradic 6000 .
12' Tica 2-10oz, with Okuma Epixor EB65 .
12' Okuma Solaris 2-8, with with Okuma Epixor EB65.

I have 17# stren on all 5 reels spinning reels, and bonefish taper fly line on the sage/ross combo. The solaris is currently out of commission, but a replacement is on the way. I like them all for a specific purpose, but my favorite is the 10.5' tica and the stradic 6000. That combo got a nice workout this spring.

[Bassboy]

well heres my stuff, I switch up a few of the reels as needed but this is basicly what youll see me with...

6.5' Ugly Sitck lite/Shimano Sahara 4000FB- 12# on this on used for throwin gotchas and the lighter stuff.

5.5' Jarvis Walker Tough Tip/Shimano TLD Star 20/40S-25# with a 50# shock leader my "new" cobia setup,this rod replaces my 6/0, planning on gettin a TLD 20 for this rod within the next week.

10' Custom made heaver/ Shimano TLD Star 20/40S-Same reel as on the Tough Tip but took it off here to use on that as a boat rod.Throws 6-12 oz pretty good.

6.5' Shakespheare Intrepid/ Abu Garcia 6500-used mainly to catch bait.12# on this one and a "power handle" just for kicks.

Usally only take 3-4 rods fishing local but have as many as 10 down at hatteras. Each is rigged and ready for just about anything. :D

For Spanish Allstar Spanish buster with Daiwa 1600 ss 20 lb power pro. Stripers Zziplex Power tex bass with 6500 mag elite and 17 lb gami for lures. for bait 525 mag penn on a 350-3 Purglas. For long range Stripers a Zziplex Primo Synchro and a 6500 mag elite. For drum and cobia I use two rods a Zziplex straight 8 with a Daiwa slosh 20 with 15 lb yozuri and a 400-4 Purglas cut to 12.6 with a 975 cs penn international and 18 lb cuda. For sharks a 10 ft heavy ugly stick with a penn 555 or a Squider.This is what I have chosen for each application after many years of fishing. Price is not a factor. If I thought there was a better outfit for the way I fish I would buy it. This is what works for me. I have others but this is what I use.

Yep, I remind the wife she can't have enough shoes. I don't think 30 rods something is toooo many.

Good point TA and Orest, but the good thing about living in the country is we look out for each other out here. Plus my neighbors don't pick up a phone when they see something shady going on, they pick up their guns! :eek: :D

[OldBay]

Thrifty, I guess I left Benelli Nova Super Magnum 12 ga. off the list. I live in a secure building. I think is is safe to assume that most of the people on the board have some fishing rods. Come and get 'em.

[Wilber]

Ya know, I guess I'm just a trusting soul. I never think about folks stealing my stuff. I guess I'll get burned someday. But, that will just give me an excuse to buy more tackle.

Besides, if someone comes in the yard the "Attack Dog" will get'em. For any of you who has seen my dog you will understand the threat.

[Orest]

What kinda dog do you have?

I have a mixed Giant Schnauze and Chinese Shae-Pei and 2 Border Collie mixes.

If my gear was worth stealing I wouldn't have been able to afford it in the first place. ;)

[Orest]

Do not lock your dog in a crate or room when away.

Or even at night. My wife told me about a couple who were robbed at night, while sleeping upstairs, with their closed and their dog locked in the bedroom with them. Now the lady is missing 2 purses and jewelry from her mothers estate and $ from her back account. Sounds like an inside job. Some one knew what was going on in their life and that they kept the dog locked in the bedroom at night.

[Wilber]

My "Attack Dog" is a 13" Beagle named Maggie. The only thing she would harm is a rabbit.

Is that 13 inches or pounds? Either way look out. :eek:

[Wilber]

Little tiny doggy, not even a full 12 inch yet. I'll say one thing for her, when a deer comes through the marsh she sure does have a pretty Bray. Loooong and sweet as a clear blue morning.
