Following on from colinmac's thread "How many different makes of rod do you own", it seems that many of us are lucky to have quite a few sticks.

It got me thinking, if I had to choose one fly rod/reel/line setup - and I mean one, not one for Salmon and one for Trout or one for each line weight or different weather or whatever, just one rod/reel/line, what would I choose from what I own?

I'd go for:

Rod: T & T Helix 9ft 5 weight
Reel: Abel Super 4 in Pewter
Line: Rio Windcutter 2

Why: For me, it's the best balanced and most versatile setup I have - and it looks good too .

What would you choose from your stuff?

At present

9ft 5wt Greys G-tec rod
Sonik sk lite 5/6 reel
Barrio Mallard wf5f

Not my most expensive kit, but it seems to come together well.

I haven't got too many but the one I would choose is my Snowbee Diamond 10' 5/6wt, Leeda Profil reel and Cortland 333 6wt line.

I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it's the one thing I can think of that probably doesn't.

The one I use most, G-Tec 9ft #6 with Lamson konic 1.5 and Rio Gold #6 wf.

If I had to choose one it would be the new Sage one and athe Nautilus FWX 5/6 reel.

Greys Platinum XD 10'

BRF Modular Reel

Greys Platinum 7 WF Floating

Well for the fishing I do it would be the Hardy Zenith #7 with my trusty Pflugure (spelling) and the snowbee xs WF7.

I'd want the rod that Steve had today, with my line and a reel that my mate down the road had.
