I think all that are listed have a high end rod, I've had shimiano rods, and diawa, but the ones I fish now are not on your list, All Star is what I 've got now along with one ABU Garcia, and 5 Bionic Blades, and one Fenwick
its hard to single one out when you specialize size and strenght for certain applications |

I am a HUGE fan of scheels rods.. guide series. they run about 100 bucks on average, but are absolutely fantastic pieces... I couldnt be happier with em.

I have a couple of American Rodsmith rods and an Allstar rod that I really like. I will probably get more of them as time goes on.

ugly stiks because they are cheap, all around great rods and i'm always cramming my rods into the back of a car and if one breaks, which is very unlikely, there's a warranty to cover it. If i had a nicer rod, i would want a crazyfish one though.

With exception of a couple Lightning Rods I purchased back in the early 80´s all my rods are GLoomis.

I only have one Fenwick HMX but I like it a lot. Like JB said it depends, I have a BPS Woo Davies X-Treme for Drop shotting and I like it for that. The only one that I have broken though was a Quantum and it snapped when hung up on some weeds last week. I also have a Berkley Bionix (don't like the handle), Shimano (good all around), another Quantum, BPS Ultra Lite, and a couple other I can't remember.
Next one will either be an All-Star, Airrus, or another Fenwick. |

Mine is against yours Zooker, it has a Shimano Calcutta reel on it!
I bought it as a gift for my dad but now he is using Hammer rods from Mississipi so I "un-gifted" it from him. I guess if you have something that works well then why change? |

I voted for Quantum since I use 5 of them, but would rather had voted for Castaway, I use the fenwicks and All star as well as a few Falcon and a LoneStar rod.During certain times, I use 2 berkley series one pistol grips, and some old discontinued Abu Garcia Larry Nixon Tournament rods which I have 5 left.Then theres a Saint Croix avid I own, but won't brag about.

I voted for St Croix, but also love and have some GLoomis's. I guess it's a perosnal choice, but as JB stated, I buy a rod reel, for specific applications. So the Brand is important, such as I won't buy a Kistler or a Ugly Stick, but would buy other brands if they have what I'm looking for in a rod, based on a technique I use.

My vote falls in the non of the above! Grandt rods is where it's at. Everyone talks abour Kristler until they hold a Grandt.

I haven't had the pleasure of fishing with any of those rods. I'm sure they are great but out here it's hard to get a quality bass rod. Every where you go it's Salmon/Steelhead or fly rods.
I did find a nice rod thats made just five miles from my house. Most of you probably haven't heard of them as I don't think they are that big of a company yet. But the name is Rogue Rods. I got a very nice rod that I'm extremely happy with. It is called MB 764C. Not sure what all that means but it's 7'6" MH. It cost $190, not sure if that is good but the rod is nice and the people at the shop were nice. Not a lot of other quality brand rods to compare price against out here. Now that I got this one, I'm not sure that I'll ever buy another brand of rod. My reel is an old Mitchel SC30 spiderwire reel. Probably a cheapy. I got it a long time a go. Works ok for me so I never went out and replaced it. |

Hmmmmm...
Love the St.Croix Avids Pre-Shakespeare TeamAllStar (To be fair, the current TAS are probably every bit so good as the older ones. It's just that I wanted rods from an INDEPENDENT maker!...See: St.Croix, Falcon, Kistler.) Kistler (Only have one, an LTA, and I really haven't used it much yet.) Lowrider (and want to try the "Cara") FR |
