Don't have a favorite combo but have a favorite species I target, I tend to use those outfits a bit more often.  The ones I select for the day are based on the location and wind, I prefer only 7' rod when it's windy, calmer it's 7'6 and 8'.

6-6 falcon bucoo micro with 50 power pro super slick on a abu garcia mgx.combo is evil light and casts like a dream.i use it for everything.

Dobyns Extreme DX742SF with a Stradic 300FJ. It does everything from drop shot to shakey heads.

Dobyns Extreme DX745FH with a Lews TP.  The jig king.

Dobyns Champion 705CBGlass. Sorry Road Warrior but this model outshines my Lamiglas SR705R.

^{Right now my favorite is a Loomis GLX CR722 with a Daiwa TDZ 105H reel. Great for worms, jerkbaits and topwater.}

Gloomis cr722 with a chonarch mg51..

Works great for river and bank fishing.

Weightless worms,flukes,inline spins..

Small rod for big fun!

My favorite rod and reel combo Is a 7' MH berkley lighting shock rod with an abu promax. this set up cost about $120.00 and over the last few years has landed between 800-1200 bass and pike. it is an absolute workhorse rod and I use it for buzzbaits, soft plastic frogs(ribbit), and hollow body frogs in sparse vegetation. the promax is a good reel for the price with the high speed gearing.

Right on, we have the same DS setup! Mines the older grey cumara though, havent got to play with a new one yet.

 

 

My favorite is a Dobyns champion 703SF with a Sustain 2500 FG (profile pic). Awesome for tubes, grubs, lighter football jigs, shakeyheads, and smaller hard jerkbaits like a pointer 78 or 97MR.

I have the identical setup, it really is a pleasure to fish with, it's very tough to pick a favorite out of the Dobyns Extreme line, they are all home runs.

Favorite Jig rod- Loomis 855 GLX with a Core

Crank stick- Cumara 7-11 With a Chronarch

Flip Stick- DX795 with a Steez

Plastics- Cumara A 7-2 with a Core

Finesse Plastics Cumara A with a CH51MG

Far too many favorites, pretty much each of my rods is a favorite for that technique, which is why they're in my boat.
