What set up would you use if you only had ONE?

[kgr624]

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.

oh forgot this one watermelon Red flake for the color on the strike king worm

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.

Hmmmm...toughy, but here goes:
Shimano Stradic MgFa 2500/6'6" M' Kistler Helium LTA /20lb Power Pro/14 lb. Flouro Leader (if needed)/ and a size 78 or 100 LC Pointer.

[McCarter]

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. 

[Hooksetter]

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.

Helium 2 LTX 6'9" Medium Spinning Fast Action rod, Quantum Energy PTi-A reel, 8lb Trilene XL, Green Pumpkin 3.5" grub, on a 1/8"oz ball head hook.

[smbassman]

6.6' MH spinning rod, Daiwa 2500 reel, 10# Yozuri Hybrid line and 3/16oz spotsticker w/ 6" houdini worm for smallies or t-rig 7" powerworm w/ 1/16oz bullet for largemouths) both worked deep and sloooooow.

[Savage]

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!

[blakstr1]

thats the team gameplan...WooHoo!! 

[Cheetam]

I changed my mind 

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.

[Bronzeback5LBER]

Ill go with spinning gear so...a shimano stradic2500fh spinning reel,Bass Pro extreme  xps 6'6" mh (woo daves sig.) and I'd throw a 1/4 oz. chompers football jig with a 3-5" kalins grub in green pumpkin or a green pumpkin w/red flakes arkie grub.
