What rod and reel setups do you NEVER leave home without?

It seems that many of your shows you use a Calcutta 400 or so mounted on a musky rod or rod of similar power on many of your fish, from golden dorado to sailfish to peacock bass.

I also noticed that you will use, say in the example of the Seychelles series, a spinning rod and reel (looked like maybe the 4000 size?).

Just wondered what you like to have as your go-to outfit(s) that you take with you on most trips. I am assembling some travel equipment, and your advice and comment would be extremely helpful!

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Hi SR,
Either a 400TE or a 300 Curado teamed with a musky type stick around 7' is the one most likely to get packed first!
