You fellas play waaaaaaaay out of my price range.....

I hear you there SPEEDBEAD some of these rigs make me gasp too but I quit smoking a year ago.... I bought my MG50 a week before my one year anniversary of quitting smoking... if I was still smoking there is NO WAY I would be able to afford 500 bucks for a rig... its a matter of priorities Yes I have some nice rigs but I didn't buy them all at once... one here and one there... I have been very blessed to be able to compile a collection of equipment over this last year... now I am at a point to where I don't HAVE to get something for a technique.. now its a matter of the baitmonkey whispering in my ear...

but having said that... its AWSOME to see what other folks thing their two rigs are or would be... I am pleased to see I am not far off on my decision to get what I have...

AL

If you could only have two rods and reels for the rest of you life you are going to want something you enjoy and will last.  I don't own what i said, but if I had to sell all my stuff I would take that money and buy those rods and reels.  

If i had to fish with only two rods and two reels i want the best two rods and the two best reels.  imo.

Rod #1 Grandt C76A Flippin' Stick 7'6ft

Reel #1 Curado CU-200

Line #1 Yozuri Hybrid #20

Rod#2 All Star TAS-786C

Reel #2 Curado CU-200 The senko slinger set up,does Ika's nice too.

Line #2 Triline #12 in clear blue

Bait

#1 5 inch Senko

#2 Fat Ika

#3 Gerkin 1/2oz Jigs

#4 Gerkin 3/8 spinner baits

#5 Luckycraft Combat SSR crankbait in chrt w/ blue back

Stopping at 2 combos for me would be like ...............well I dunno I just can't do it  

BUT if I had to just take two of my rigs with me ( which I have done on occasion) I would take:

Spinning: 7' M BPS Extreme w/pflueger president spooled with green 8lb trilene XL

Casting: 7' MH BPS Extreme w/ Diawa procaster spooled with 20lb spiderwire stealth braid

Lures:

Zoom super fluke in babybass

4" yum dinger watermelon/red flake

1/4 oz booyah green pumpkin jig w/green pumpkin yum craw bug trailer

7" red shad culprit worm, w 1/8 bullet sinker

Zoom bubblegum trick worm.

Plus a pack of gamakatsu 3/0 EWG hooks.

I do use cranks,spinnerbaits, topwaters, and jerkbaits alot too, but these baits produce year round for me, so thats what I would take.
