What is your dream combo and do you own it?  I figure life is too short and I really love fishing.  I've always wanted an nrx and an ito.  This past winter I got the combo along with a ton of other stuff (bait monkey is too strong).

I love my NFC HM custom I built. It's made on the same blank as the edge series black widow rods with the same guides, I think, and a carbon fiber handle. It also cost me about 120 dollars less to build it than buy it. If I just had a metanium on it, it would be my dream jig rod. The curado I does just fine though.

I couldn't afford to own my dream combo, but I've good lots of nice stuff that keeps me happy. 

If I had an Aldebaran DC I would be.

A jerkbait has been my new favorite thing to fish the last year or so, which makes my jerkbait rod/reel my favorite setup.

 

Kistler Helium 3 7'0" medium x-fast with a Lew's on there.

Calcutta d and st croix legend. I splurged this year and bought it.

Yep.  5S69MLXF-B with a Stradic 2500MgFB

Some day ill have an aldebaran 51 and a poison adrena...someday

But until then my chronarch ci4 and 13 *** will be just fine! Love that combo!

I've got the rod I'm just working on getting the reel. Dream combo St. Croix Legend Xtreme paired with a Abu Garcia MGXtreme 

Yup got my ugly stick and zebco 33, Life is good.

Fishing 3 of my dream combos...

Sweet, Mr. Hooligan!

 

Don't have a dream outfit.  Spread the love.

What reel is that in the center?

Core 51, avail spool, zpi goodies

Yes I am (at least for now).  I don't know enough about super high-end reels yet so the bait monkey hasn't been bugging me about upgrading.  I've had my spinning combo for a year and it's still my dream.  GLX rod and Stradic CI4+ reel.  Just bought my dream baitcasting combo this year.  NRX rod and Curado I reel.  Every time I cast it I just giggle...

I got a Megabass Nautilus this year and paired it with a Shimano Chronarch CI4. I use it primarily for football jigs and the sensitivity is just unreal. 

I've got 5 of my dream combo! St. Croix Legend Extremes paired with Pflueger Patriarchs. Three are casting and two are spinning!

The short answer is no.   I've got a few decent rigs.  Once I own a rod & reel combo, it isn't a dream anymore - so I got to dream up a new one.  Just another first world problem . . . .

Contentment is a rare virtue!

Too many dream combos to choose from, can't afford them just yet.  However, I'm happy with what I have and in fact I like my new Carbonlite BPS PQ combos.  Going to take them with me on my FL trip next week!

I'm close enough. To upgrade from what I have would be to spend a lot of cash for not much gain.

That is my dream rug Matt! Nice "stuff"!

Haha

In a word: nope. 

If I had my dream combo I'd just come up with a new dream combo. Lord knows "content" is not a state of being I'm familiar with.
