Favorite rod and reel setup

What are they and what are you targeting with them? Which do consider essential? Looking for ideas for the show.

Favorite reel, my Calcutta D400 paired with an 8' med/hvy rod I built. Its perfect for throwing swimbaits or any other heavier baits. I took it out to LJ for rockfish and it worked magic. I took on a couple monsters with it as well. Unfortunately one fish was toothy and cut the line and the other monster pulled the hook. The reel is super super super smooth and like a mini conventional reel. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I've ditched every rod I've had and moved into a complete quiver of Seeker Stealths.

They are very affordable, very durable, incredibly lightweight and look really nice. Seeker also has a great warranty.

I've got an entire range covered. from 10-25 to 40lb with everything inbetween. I have Penn Fathom 15's on a few of them, mainly for big game. A Daiwa Seagate 35H on my 40lb rod for YoYo, Avet SX MC on my Surface stick and Abu Garcia Alphamar on my Halibut stick. I double my Hali stick as my rock/sheep/bass rod.
