Hello all! I have some rods and reels I use and was wondering how you would pair them to make a combo for maximum effectiveness. I know this will require a long answer so I will number the reels and use letters for the rods so you can use those instead of the model numbers. 

A. Shimano Antares DC 7:1

B. Lews BB-1 7:1

C. Alderbaren 7:1

D. Quantum Smoke Spin 2500 type

E. Shimano 2500 Spin CI4

F. *** 7:1

G. Metanium D.C. 7:1

 

Rods

 

1. Dobyn's 701 Spinning

2. Dobyn's 734CH

3. Dobyns 735CH

4. Powell Max 3D 753

5. Shimano Crucial 6'6"

6. G Loomis 6'6" jw..

 

What reel goes best w each rod in your opinion? Make a single combo like E1 or do all or none 

 

I'm trying to tweek my tools here. Line etc is also sweet. Thanks in advance. 

Gee.  I don't know.  Never heard of a Shimano Antares DC rod or  Dobyns 701 spinning reel.  

 

EDIT:  Sorry, but had to bust your chops.  I couldn't give any advice because I don't own any of those rods or reels.  Like the old adage says, "There is more than one way to skin a cat."  I seriously doubt there is a wrong way to pair your gear.

A. Shimano Antares DC 7:1 – Powell 3D Max – Spinnerbait/Bladed Baits

B. Lews BB-1 7:1 – Dobyns 735CH – Pitching/Flipping

C. Alderbaren 7:1 – Loomis 6’6” JWR – Assuming MH, Topwater, Jerkbaits

E. CI4 Spinning or Quantum Spinning paired with Dobyns 701 – Finesse, light line techniques

F. *** 7:1 – Shimano – Crucial – Sniping with spinnerbaits/bladed baits.

G. Metanium D.C. 7:1 – Dobyns 734CH – Jigs/Plastics

 

This is what I'd do, if these were mine.

Thanks. Interesting pair. I like it. I know that took a lot of thinking and time. I'm gonna try that out. I need to change some line out.
