What are some of your favorite combinations?
Give me your saltwater and freshwater preferences and feel free to be species specific , as well.
I tend to have multiple rod and reel combos for different species and different conditions.
Thinking of maybe getting some new gear and wanted some opinions based on experiences.

The higher end (forgot the name) -paging BP for the name Bass Pro Series are pretty decent for freshwater.

My favorite bass combo is my Abu Garcia Revo SX on a 7' MH Dobyns Savvy. Followed closely by my Revo S on a 6'7" MH Falcon Lowrider.
For bream and sac au lait I have a 5' falcon HD ultralight with an Abu cardinal 300ui.
And I'm looking to get a saltwater combo when I start working this summer, but sure what yet

Hard to beat a Shimano Curado with an All-Star Rod.

What's the word on the Abu BlackMax? Thinking about picking one up.

My brother has 2 of em. Pretty good deal for the price. Especially if you don't put a whole lot of wear on your equipment, and take care of it. I have a silver max, I find it just a little smoother, but the casting distance and drag is the same. I'm not too sure about the rods that come with the black max combo, my brother has one but I didn't play with it. The other is on a $30 berkely amp from Cabelas and it feels like a much more expensive rod/reel combo...I was impressed.

Shimano Crucial rod first of all. A Shimano Curado reel would be sweet to pair up. I am absolutely loving my new Okuma Serrano reel, however, this Spring.

The smoothest and lightest combo I have is a Quantum code on a St.Croix legend.

my current saltwater set up is a Shimano Calcutta 200 or 250 (can't remember) on a castaway rod 
Perfect setup for red/speck fishing. Don't fish fresh water enough to have a separate rig.

Only tried one several years back and it didn't hold up to salt water use. It seized after two years while the calcutta is still going strong at 10+ years.

I had a Curado on a 7' Falcon MH rod, but the bastard broke. It was great for spinnerbaits.
I also have a Johnny Morris Signature reel on a 7' H Castaway. Great worm set up.

The Falcon broke? A buddy of mine had just bought a 6'10" MH Lowrider and on something like the 10th cast the top 6" or so snapped off. The warranty process seemed to be a bit of a bitch.
FWIW I've had no trouble with either of mine though.

My go to is the BPS extreme on a Berkley Ligtning rod.
