Casting it's pretty much whichever reel(a Revo of some variety) has the line that's on the rod for the technique they're hitting on. My favorites would be Gen 2 Premier, Gen 3 STX, & Gen 2 Winch. I want to get a Gen 3 Winch at some point in the future.

Spinning I love my Premier 30s. Had one since they first released & it's been fantastic for me. Picked up a Patriarch to try & while it's a very nice reel, I like the Premiers better, so I sold it & picked up another.

The five reels that get the most use (by a wide margin I might add) are not my "top shelf" reels at all but my least expensive one's. Well one of them is mid tier but who's counting right. My 4 Citica E 201's get almost constant use and they're still going strong, getting the job done without fail, and just generally putting a smile on my face. The 5th reel is my Chronarch B 101, it also gets fished multiple times a week, most weeks.

It's funny to me to just sit and think of all the money I've spent on "high end" gear over the years but the gear I enjoy the most cost the least. If I only knew then what I know now I could have saved a lot of money for myself. I just never thought I'd be so content with the lower priced gear. Maybe this comes with getting a little older or maybe it comes from all the knowledge I gained by trying lots of different priced gear, who knows?

Be careful what you say. Some on this site would consider this blasphemy!

My go-to is a Scorpion 1001mg on a Recon 713. Great weightless worm combo. The only non-Dobyns I own.

Yeah I guess this isn't exactly the "budget minded" gear forum is it. Don't get me wrong I still absolutely love my Calais & Calcutta DC's, my Stella FD3000 along with my GLX and Cumara rods. These just aren't the combos I reach for on a daily basis. I just wait and break them out when I feel like a change. I like doing it this way to because it kinda seems like I have all new gear when I do take them out.
