Just curious as to what setup most of you freshwater fisherman are using.

I’m thinking about upgrading for christmas.

Welcome aboard, first of all.

Now, _which_ setup? rod and reel, boat, tackle system, or fishing vehicle?

Most of my fresh water setups are Shimano rods and reels. I use stradic reels from them. But you can start at $70 for a low end model. More you spend the quieter and smoother the reel. Their rods are warrentied for life.

I have at least a dozen setups for different species and seasons.

you may want to clarify what species you are targeting, Different seasons, and different species in different seasons require different setups.

Yep, I am a angler for all seasons.. [angelic]
