I got a bunch of different brands. 3 Castaway,2 all star ,1 Saint Croix, 2 Falcon, 3 Fenwick,3 Pinnacle, 9 Berkely,2 old G Loomis, 5 Abu Garcia,1 Lone star, and 6 Quantum rods, and a few bass pro shop clunn & Woo Extreme rods. I would say that the Quantum Tour Edition HSX 54 rods are the best of the lot, except for the Castaway Bud Pruitt Flipping sticks. P N J

St Croix, G-Loomis, and Rogue. Favorite is St Croix, with G-Loomis a close second. The Rogue rods are about Identical to the Kistler's, they are nice, but give me my St Croix anyday over them.

to much angle pulling backwards will break any rod.this happens a lot right at the boat.

Lamiglas /201 SF Curado
Berkeley Cherrywood/Symetre Rapala(this rod sux!)/Size 20 Sx6i (sweet reel) Looking to replace this rod Lamiglas/Pfueger Trion (BC) Maybe I ought to change my name to the Lone Lamiglas ranger! They are very sensitive and powerful. I handled a 7 lb bass amidst pilings and a dock as if it were a 1 lb dink. The Curado performed superbly too. -ib
