Nice gear fishingaddict!!

I use an Okuma VSystem 85 on an 9' Okuma Surfrod. I'm trying to get a 10' starrod Handcraft and soon will be getting a Diawa Saltiga Z6500. This reel is awesome and pricey.
 
Got loads 4x custom built 3 lb test curve Carp rods also 2 x 2.25lb test curve carp/Tench rods , Berkley lure rod and a Ron Thomson one fix spool one multiplayer, 2 Dam pike rods. Last of all a quiver tip and a float rod.

i use an ancient 6' Berkely rod/reel my grandpa gave me about 12 yrs ago.
im not sure how old it is exactly ( im guessing 50's-60's) but it works fine to this day.Used for trout, pike, walleye, whitefish mainly.

rod says:Berkley parametric PG30M
reel says: D.A.M. Quick 220

Its not gonna win a beauty contest but it does seem to catch fish hehe.
