So long story short I scored a Shimano deal through work. And I can pick up any 2 reels/rods & 2 spools of PP of my choice at a discounted price.

Obviously first choice would be the new Cumara's. I just rounded out my casting rods with 5 new Dobyns Extremes. My spinning setups really need some work as I only have one as of now,7'2" ML Fast Cumara/Ci4.

I've been looking alot at two setups. 6'8" MH fast for skipping tubes/senkos under docks. Which could also pull double duty as a tube jig rod for smallies.

The 2nd is another dropshot setup, 6'8" Medium X-fast. Would be used for drop shot, shakey heads.

Two reels would be another Ci4 and a Sustain

So if you had a chance to pick any two shimano rods/reels what would it be? Price is no object.

What techniques would you opt for?

I'd get those two exact rods with a pair of sustains, would be real nice...

Price is no object, then def the Sustains!

A tranx hg, and a calais dc. I found a calais dc in the cabelas bargain cave marked down pretty far. Didn't pull the trigger. I always wanted to play with one.

Calais DC Cumara A 7'2" MH X-fast

Stella FE Cumara A 7'2" MH fast

 

A person could do a lot of fishing with just these two.
