Welcome to the forum! 

Spinning setups- Shimano/penn reels and st croix rods 

casting setups- shimano/lews reels and bps/gloomis/st croix rods

Shimano FX 2000 in 6' MHF has been the go to lately.  Otherwise it's a Daiwa Shock Custom

Well lets see my wife and I fish a total of 11 spinning rods mostly G Loomis, 1 Irod,1 Berkley Lightning Shock, and a few Gander Mountain rods.  All of them have Pflueger Presidents in all sizes. We did not start out that way but over time that has become our go to reel.  We also have 1 brand new Shimano Symetre 3000 that has an incredible 35 inches of line recovery. That matches most baitcasters with an 8-1 ratio.

For baitcasters I fish 1 Powel Max, 1 Irod, several Berkley Lightning shocks ( these are terrific for throwing rattle traps) several Veritas rods,an Abu Garcia Ike series jerkbait rod and several others. One of my oldest and favorites is an old ( from the late 80's) Cotton Cordell. I met the man personally and he hand signed a rod for spinnerbaits at the big fishing show in Harrisburg PA.  He is still one of the most incredible people that I have ever met.

Exactly the same for me.

 

St croix, kistler, gloomis rods and I'm just now stepping into the custom rod world. Hopefully within the next two years all of my rods will be replaced with custom rods.

As for reels, shimano core 51 and 101, 13, mgxtreme. Hopefully ordering an antares or steez this year.

Shimano and Daiwa for casting reels. A mix of brands for spinning but 80% are Shimano... mostly Stradics.

Rods are all over the place, Loomis, Dobyns, Custom builds, Shimanos, Fenwick, Powell, Megabass, and a few classic Daiwa rods.

Spinning reels: Pflueger and lew's 

Casting reels: Lew's, abu garcia, shimano,daiwa

Rods: lews, abu garcia,  Fenwick, BPS, field and stream tec spec black,
