The "BAY" got me again, this time for a Phenix Maxim 7'3" MH/F BC rod for $86!

6'7" MH *** Lew's Tournament MB 7.5:1 65 lbs Spiderwire braid

light weight t-rigs and Carolina rigs

Bought a Quantum EXO PT101HPT off the bay for $127!!

Can't go wrong with Lews!!!!!!

Strike King S11's, I have two pairs and they are great

Favorite- Pitching/Punching anything or a swim jig Least favorite- Drop shot/ most things finesse

depends on the lure and the type of cover/structure: 30lbs braid- sparse cover/finesse pitchin 25 lbs fluoro- clear water 65lbs braid- when you need to go all in(I use this the most)

ordered a Kistler KLX 7' MH/F Jig-Worm rod yesterday, cant wait for it to get here!!

Tournament MB or Tournament Pro, I have two MB's and one TP and I love both of them, cant go wrong with Lew's, I have 7 B/C reels and 6 of them are Lew's

punch the vegetation with a texas rigged plastic

Depends on the type of cover you're fishing. Heavy cover- 7'6" H or XH, F or XF Sparse cover- 7'-7'4" MH, F

most of my fish this year have come on swim jigs with a Keitech trailer(easy shiner & swing impact) or a Rage Menace grub

I cartop my ride 115 on a Kia Sportage, to be honest lifting 80 lbs over my head is getting extremely old, but it is manageable if you do it correctly

try the palomar knot or the san diego jam knot, and don't forget to wet your line and knots when tying since fluoro has a bad habit of burning itself

Castaway 7' M/Mod Lew's Speed Spool 6.4:1, lefty 10# Berkley Pro flouro strike king, bandit mustad trebles-whatever i have on hand in the right size(mostly triple grip shorts)

Craw, Bug, & Menace, can't go wrong with any of them

flippin and pitching, i have a St Croix LTB i bought off fleabay that was originally the 6'8" MH, but someone snapped of the top 7" making it 6'1" and it changed it to a H/XH action and it works really well for accurate short range flips and pitches

have the 7'6" flipping/jig rod paired with a Lew's Tournament Pro using 15lbs. Invisx, great rod, super sensitive

Lews Tournament MB, Tournament Pro, really any Lews reels would work really well

Strike King S11's, love these glasses, i have to two pairs one for sunny days and another for cloudy

i have two of them, both 7.5:1, and i love these reels, Lew's definitely got these right!

6'6" M/F Duckett Micro Magic, Lews Tournament MB w/ 15lb Spiderwire stealth braid

I have two: for lighter cover and lure weights Okuma TCS series 7'6" H MF/F, 15lbs Seaguar InvisX fluoro, Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool 7.1:1 for the jungle Castaway Skeleton 7'6" XH/F, 65lbs Spiderwire Stealth braid, Tatula Type-R 8.1:1

I have the middle three reels on your list and I really like them all, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Lew's Tour MB, it palms well, is super smooth, and tunes really quickly. the bb1 is really good too but I have the 5.4:1 so I only use it for deeper cranks which isn't very often. I like the Tatula Type-R its fast and smooth, my only problem is that it is a little large for my taste.
