I don't guess it's even worth asking if you have ever considered a Steez rod.

I am a big fan of full grip rods (as well as rod brand continuity) and after going through many brands of rods, G Loomis & the Cabelas XML's have really suited me well.  I am sure the Steez is a great rod, but until that sucker comes with a full rear grip, I don't see one in my future.

Bronzefly, that is a sick Presso combo!!  Very envious!!

Lucky Craft Man, just plain wow on your collection of Loomis rods.

INSANE!

I would describe what RedLineRobert and Bronzefly have displayed as INSANE.  Their equipment is truly impressive.

Sorry, no pix, but thought I'd list out what I fish with.

Pond Bass Gear (3):

Abu Garcia Revo STX; St. Croix Avid 6'2" Med./Extra Fast. (small spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, buzzbaits, beetle spins).

Abu Garcia Revo STX; J.Morris-Elite 6'3" Med./Extra Fast. (texas rigs, shakeyheads, light jigs, soft plastic swimbaits, & grubs).

Abu Garcia Revo STX; J.Morris-Elite 6'3" Med./Extra Fast. (small topwater poppers/walkers, jerkbaits, small crankbaits).

Lake Bass Gear (3):

Abu Garcia Revo Premier; St. Croix Legend Xtreem 6'6" Med./Fast. (texas rigs, wacky rigs, shakeyheads, flukes, tubes, weightless worm & light jigs).

Abu Garcia Revo STX; St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass 6'6" Med./Fast. (spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, buzzbaits & frogs).

Abu Garcia Revo STX; J.Morris Elite 6'8" Med./Extra Fast. (crankbaits, lipless cranks, jerkbaits, topwater poppers/walkers).

Lake Striper/Hybrid & White Bass (1):

Abu Garcia Revo SX; J.Morris Elite 6'8" Med./Extra Fast. (soft plastic 4" swimbaits w/ 1/2oz. jigheads & hard plastic jointed swim & wake baits, spoons, 3/4oz lipless cranks, inline spinners, large topwater poppers & walkers, buzzbaits).

All spooled w/ 12 - 14lb. suffix siege, smoke green mono. line. Most fishing done on North & East Texas Reservoirs like Lewisville, Ray Roberts, Hubbard, Fork, Bob Sandlin, & Texhoma. (Pond fishing done in Denton County)

I can only hope that one day I will be fortunate enough to own half of the rods and reels that have been shown! Absolutely incredible! I have one set-up a Shimano crucial spinning rod with a symetre reel, no pics now . Am working on getting my very own first baitcaster, hopefully before the new year!

Most (all) of this gear has probably been accumulated

over the years. Speaking for myself, some of my

stuff was purchased in 1997. I don't trade and generally

pick up a rig or two a year, not all at once. My theory is

like Warren Buffet's investment goals: "Buy and hold forever."

And this is something I have often stated: You only "need"

three rigs:

1. Spinning combo for weightless soft plastics and light

lures. My suggestion is 6 1/2' or 7' MF.

2. Baitcaster for "treble hooks".

6 1/2' MHM.

3. Baitcaster for weighted soft plastics and jigs.

7' MHF or 7' HF.

;D ;D ;D

Agreed with Kent.  It has taken me years to accumulate my tackle.  Also this is my main hobby now.  Use to be cars, but I'm over that.  For now.

Good thought. I'm the same way, I buy stuff to keep. That's why I'm still trying to decide what rod to get for jigs ;D

In the next couple of years I hope to be at the point where I have five NICE combos (3 casting, 2 spinning), around $200 in each one.

Some really great gear here!

Jimzee - sweet Daiwa collection...

RLR - stunning stuff man 8-)

This thread ROCKS guys, keep it coming!!

I haven't been posting a whole lot lately....been sick and dealing with family.  I'll post a few pics tomorrow because someone asked. 

Nice stuff!!

Everyone killer tackle.

I'm going to be building a Revo this winter. Not the most popular reels to trick out but it seems if you look hard enough you can find some cool stuff.

This thread is really making me want to change my christmas list from a bunch of new tackle, to a nice rod.  ;D

I know where you can get one. WAY under cost of new...

Great collection !!  I'm a big fan of the XML rods also !

Amazing thread...

Almost embarrassed to post mine, I know I shouldn't be though... I'll get it together tomorrow.

Well, I'm not going to show you my "STUFF" like the title suggests but I will show you my fishing rods.

Very nice Bassn Blvd.

Looks like Bassn Blvd is another one of those die hard Loomis fans :

Nice inventory and nice tracker boat. Looks like you take really good care of your gear.

The GLX MBR842 could make anyone a loomis fan, I got one and it constantly pulls me away from my steez's.

some of yalls photos look like you just walked into a store and just started takin pics!

Here's some of my baitcasters.  I've added some more.  One day, I'll lay my spinning rigs out for photos.

  Thanks I felt bad about having 8 or 9 rigs and had been sitting tight. Now the temptation is back plus I just got a pretty nice bonus.

  nah I'm going to stay put

Hey Hawk I think a lure thread would be good. If you don't maybe I will one of these days. I'd like to see what other people fish with.

Micro,

AWESOME!!

Now thats a pack of gear you have there Micro !

Micro,

Those rods look brand new!! awesome!

Back then they were pretty new.  I collected all those Daiwas in just a few months.  They replaced a bevy of Revos, EXTs, and other Abus I sold here on this site.  I got rid of some All Star rods and replaced them with Fenwicks.
