What is your go-to lipless rod and reel

[jeffmac78]

ALX Zolo Crank with a Lews BB1 Pro. It just feels so right!

[LonnieP]

I use a 7’ medium/reg Tatula rod and a Tatula SV reel.

I found a megabass Levante Diablo spec r. Supposed to be a good one, I fish a lot of grass

[Stratos21XL]

The Diablo is a nice all around rod. It does a lot of different techniques very well. I prefer a more moderate action rod for traps but that’s personal preference.

I have a loomis 843 for lighter cranks

7'5" Powell 755cb max 3d with a Daiwa Zillion 7.3

Tatula ct 7:3 , Ark Tharp series 7'4 B-Hittay , 15# big game.

[Casslaw]

I use a 7’1 MH-F BPS Platinum rod and Platinum reel 8.3. It’s great for the larger traps with 12lb mono. If I’m throwing braid I’ll use my 7’ M-F Carbonlite 2.0 7.5:1. I don’t want to use braid with treble hook baits but when I’m a co-angler and can’t have my whole arsenal sometimes I have to compromise.

IMO the Carbonlite 2.0 rods are the best $99 rods you can buy! I do love my Daiwa reels and both the Tatula Type Rs and the SV fit on the Carbonlite Rods really well.

Dobyns 705CB with OG Zillion 7.1.1 with 12lbs yo-zuri hybrid.

Dobyns 765CB with a Tatula for me.

Take a look at the Phenix glass cranking rod, very nice rods and you can cast a 1/2 oz trap a country mile.

Another one for 1/4 is DC 705CB Glass Mod fast with OG Zillion 6.3.1 :)

[ogrich31]

Many rods work well imo. I've used these rods with success:

Dobyns 705CB Glass Fast
Destroyer Javelin
MBR843 GLX
Custom Point Blank PB701MHF

My main reel is a 8.1:1 T3 Ballistic Limited, all modded out of course. But I've used everything from 5:1 to 8:1.
