My other combo for the season.
This one will get a lot of use.

How's the Centurion rod? Never actually used one.

I really like it.
Seems to have the perfect power and action for treble swimbaits in the 2-3.5oz range. Haven't tried anything below or above 2-3.5oz.

I would love to eventually add a Paradox to the arsenal. Beauty setup!!

Very nice! Here's my weapon of choice for swimbaits in that 2-8oz range.

Rod: Deps Huge Custom
Reel: Megabass Lin Origin 10 with the Drt 95mm Handle
Lure: Drt Tiny Klash

Which rod model do you have? I really like the H3S-76RF AND THE H3S-81RF
The H2S-75RF is a completely different animal....

I'm using the 76rf. Thinking about getting another rod though. Something that would be better at tossing 8oz baits and higher.

[MardukFIN]

There's my "big baits" setups.

Croix LT Musky casts ~2-10oz
Rainshadow Eternity 1-2oz.

All others something between that.

Looks like you got me to Willy Wonka's candy room Mar Duke

Here’s the current favorite combo. Evergreen Grand Stallion GTX with Conquest 200DC.

That's my kind of set up..sweet!

[Houndfish]

I feel very out of the loop, I have not heard of most of these rods.

This was my bigbait gateway drug, a MB Hyurga 72H with a sv103 on it.


I found the 50 Rat was too much for it but otherwise the Hyuga is a beast for anything non-bottom contact and under 2oz. I would love to find a rod between it and the SRD in both power and taper.

The HYUGA! I almost forgot that I once owned a 7'2 M Hyuga. I loved that rod, was a sweet combo with the Tat SLP

So much sweet gear and eye candy in this thread! Ive posted this one before, but here’s my lighter swimbait rod.
Fragment Factory Madokaya custom with a Deps DR Z2020 reel. If anyone’s looking for a reel to burn bigger baits in the 8.4:1 gears in the Deps Z are ridiculous if you can get over the color.
