Rod and Reel Combos
As with watches, Fishing Tackle can get expensive. For those that like to fish, what are Rod and Reel choices? My are middle of the road. Shimano Curado reels and St. Croix Premier Rods. For those that really like to fish, this can be a passionate subject

It all depends on the application.

Ugly stick rods are great performers. Now if only I could get the hang of baitcasting reels without creating a mess of backlash

Good thread!
I use Calstar custom wrapped by Yo's in Gardena, CA. For reels Shimano Calcutta for light tackle, various Daiwa Sealine series and Pro Gear for 20 lbs and up. For 50lbs.+ class Shimano TLD 2 Speed has been great.

Back in the day these use to sit in rocket launcher of the Commander. But now that I'm landlocked again I go with Bass Pro Shops Extreme rods and reels. A lot of bang for the buck and they stand behind them. Nothing glamorous, but better than anything money could buy twentyfive years ago when I was seriously tournament fishing.
