Alright Big Boys...show me you're Flathead rigs

[BassBrian]

I mainly target Blues, and channels. My flathead rig needs updating and I just wanted to see what the other boys are runnin. I still use a Tiger Med/Hvy w/ abu 7000 65lb PP. I really like the new r2 war rods and I am gonna upgrade to 2 of those for Flatties this year. So tell me about your favorite setups.

aint nothin wrong with that rig right there driver...

all of my rigs serve dual purpose, my one most comfortable handling a flatty currently is a 9' heavy action King Cat Supreme with a shakespeare Tidewater & 40# Trilene Big Cat. Somethin' about that rod just handles the flatties a lot better than my Catmaxx.

Currently looking to upgrade to shorter 5'6"-7', 1 piece rods & Penn reel with heavy braid for the upcoming flatty season but hell I get 'er done now quite alright.

All Gloomis rods. Various sizes. My 67lb came on my 25lb to 45lb rod with a Trinadad 16 with 40lb test. I have an Avet as well. Some areas the the TLD 2speed with 60lb comes out. I like the Calcutta's as well on lighter GL. rods for the Channels.
