Rod Poll

ROBZILLA · 06-30-06, 10:43 AM

Which Rod do you prefer,if you fish it?

1.) Saint Croix

2.) Fenwick

3.) Browning

4.) A Pro name brand eg. (Rick Clunn) ect. signature series

5.) Shimano

6.) G-Loomis

7.) Quantum

8.) Daiwa

9.) Or just a cheepy I don't care

JB · 06-30-06, 10:48 AM

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

ROBZILLA · 06-30-06, 10:52 AM

Abu falls in the signature series. and if you have other Rods not listed then by all means list them for others to see. Thanks JB

mymomisbecky · 06-30-06, 11:02 AM

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.
lifetime warranty, even if its your fault.

senko · 06-30-06, 11:19 AM

i picked the one i would get if i could get any rod for free...

everettvet · 06-30-06, 11:29 AM

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.

Tnbasser · 06-30-06, 11:50 AM

None of the above. I use CrazyFish Rods.

NJBassDevil · 06-30-06, 11:55 AM

Fenwick for me

Wishing2BFishing · 06-30-06, 12:13 PM

None of the above. I use Bass Pro Shops X-treme rods.

Fishing4Soup · 06-30-06, 12:16 PM

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.

Raul · 06-30-06, 12:52 PM

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.

zooker · 06-30-06, 06:39 PM

bender i never said i did not own differant rods just prefure the fenwick rods ..

zooker

Bender · 06-30-06, 06:54 PM

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?

Rebbasser · 06-30-06, 07:33 PM

None of the above-AllStar and Falcon

pig n jig · 07-01-06, 06:55 AM

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.

lizardsrule · 07-01-06, 08:03 AM

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.

flippin4it · 07-01-06, 08:29 AM

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.

WarEagle · 07-01-06, 06:36 PM

Crazy Fish Rods.

vagabond · 07-01-06, 10:06 PM

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.

BigNiner19 · 07-03-06, 12:51 AM

fin nor rod and reel....can't complain with it...

Bass_fishing_girl · 07-03-06, 06:41 AM

Shimano, BPS and I have an ugly stick.
