How many combos do you guys have

Hockeyian44 · Post by **Hockeyian44** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 3:22 pm

So right now I'm looking for a new reel and rod to expand my technique specific combos. How many do you guys have for different combos, name what rod, reel, and line you use on each of your combo and for what technique. I fish mostly shallow to about 12 ft of water and a variety of baits and all that stuff. Any help is appreciated!

Steez 103 / 6'5 flexlite / 10lb triple fish= Small shallow cranker.
steez 103 / 7' flexlite / 10lb triple fish= Medium cranker.
revo winch / 7'10" magnum cranker / 12lb triple fish= Deep cranker.
Steez 103 6'7" Steez SVF 12lb triple fish= 3/4 - 1oz spinbaits.
steez 103 6'6" GLX MBR 12lb triple fish= 3/8 - 1/2oz spinbaits.
steez 103 6'10" cumulus 10lb triple fish= Jerkbaits

Another one I want is
steez 103 7'1" NRX 853 For lake strokes

Most of these combos are used for river fishing hence the cheap line. I will throw flouro on once and a while for lakes.

I think I finally got my setups paired down to what I absolutely need now that I'm boatless. Sold a lot of stuff, and still have more than I can take with me as a back seater, but it is what it is.

Dobyns 734 & Zillion HLA - 16lb Super Natural - over 3/8 topwater, 1/2oz grinder, lipless - all purpose
Dobyns 735 & Zillion SHLA - 65lb braid - Frogs, Buzzjet, 5" Punker, and anything in cover.
Dobyns 705CB Glass & Zillion PLA - 10lb 100% FC - All cranks & jerkbaits

Dobyns DX784ML & Zillion SHSLA - 16lb Toray Superhard Upgrade - Jigs

Dobyns 795ML & Curado 301E - 20lb CXX - 6" & 68 Hudds, wood Punkers, Rising Son, etc.

I don't have any combos. I have a lot of rods and a lot of reels but I mix and match the rods with the reels.

You can probably get rid of the 795ML if you throw the small huds on the 735 and the wood punkers on the 806.

The 795ML is such a nice stick though.

MDisbrow · Post by **MDisbrow** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:00 pm

Yea, the 795 isn't going anywhere. I'm in pretty good shape now I think. If I'm fishing a club tournament I try to leave the swimbait gear at home, but the 795 usually makes it.
