Title: What set up would you use if you only had ONE?
Post by: kgr624 on February 09, 2006, 02:47:23 PM
Alright here is a great way to find out about some good baits. If you could use one rod reel combo and one lure in a tournament what would it be. Doesn't matter what the lake just pick your best set up that you fish with. I would pick a shimano curado 100 reel ( old one) with a quantum tour 7" rod with a strike king 5x 5" worm carolina rigged.

I would have to say a curado 200BSF on a 7 ft medium Airrus Co Matrix rod and a 1/4 oz bear hair jig ( black/blue ) with a super chunk jr on the rear end.? And doused with Mega Strike.? God, i can almost smell the sweet garlic goodness.

(he meant rear end - I'm sure of it :))

Poorboy,
             Those are some nice jigs, What color trailer do you like with that black/blue jig. I like fishing jigs and I also use the brand Chomper with flavored with garlic.

I like to use just a straight black.  I found some really nice trailers that compliment these jigs perfectly.  conquistadortackle.com.  they match up to some of the custom colors he makes very well.

Has to be a size 40 quantum spinning reel with a 6'6" medium action rod with a texas rigged tube on 10lb mono, I can fish that rig anywhere.

I'd have to go with a my Shimano Symetre 2500 and 7-0MF-S St. Croix Avid combo. I'd have 10 lb. Seaguar Flourocarbon spooled on the reel. For my lure, i'd be throwing a Mizmo 4 inch Big Boy tube in Green Mist or Work of Art with a 1/4 ounch Provider Tackle jighead.

Yeah...

I guess I'd have to go with spinning gear since I'd be flipping a weightless Senko in Green Pumpkin with Red Flake.  10lb XPS Floro.  Quantum size 30 Energy reel on a 7ft. medium action G-Loomis rod.  Man, what a tough question to answer.

I would have to go with my Shimano Stradic 2500MgF spooled with 8lb. P-Line Cxx mono on my G. Loomis IMX 6' mh fast action rod w/Tennessee rings. I'd be throwing a weightless Senko in smoke pearl blue or black w/blue flake.

Dang Blakstr, nice setup!  Since I fish with Blake alot, I'd go with something that would complement his bait.  That would mean a black triple rattleback jig with a black zoom super chunk trailer.  1/2 oz in clear water, 3/8 in stained water.  Rigged on a 100BSF Curado and a Kistler 6'-6" Medium Heavy rod.

Ulness we were on smallie waters, where I'd throw a green pumpkin tube with a home-made jighead, on firleine with a Stradic and BPS rod combo!

Blake would catch more with the grub, and I'll be after the kickers.  That's how we do it!

I changed my mind  ;D

One of my all time favorite things to do is throwing a big 'ol noisy buzzbait.  For that I'll use a Curado 100/Kistler 6'9" APC/65 lb PP braid and a 1/2 ounce White or White/Chartruese Glamourshad Buzzbait.
