What Brands do you have the most of?
Hey guys, thought this would be an interesting thread to see what brands most people trust! For me my most trusted brand is Strike King for sure! I can always depend of what ever they make, be it crankbaits, soft baits, jigs, or spinnerbaits!
What brand do you have the most of? For example, for me. Softbaits (worms, critters, frogs, etc) Zoom, Strike king, Yum Spinnerbaits/buzzbaits: Strike king, Terminator Hard baits (poppers, walk the dogs, cranks, lipless etc. Not sure, prolly Rapala and Strike King. Jigs: Strike King!

Soft Plastics - Zoom, Culprit, & Bass Assassin Cranks - Rapala, Bandit, & Strike King Spinner / Buzz Baits - War Eagle & Strike King I have a ton in each category, but those are the main stays and the ones that go in a light bag. Reels - SHIMANO I just had to throw that in for my reputation.

I have few brand loyalties. I use what I feel works, I don't care who makes it. But there are three brands I am very loyal to. Rapala, Creme, and Plano.
Other bands I like are: Spider Wire, Strike King, Berkley, and Eagle Claw.

go to bas pro buy two of everything then you will have my coracopia of baits..
one bait DON'T do all. weather it be zoom or berkley.bandits to lucky craft.. yes every company makes a cetain color -like junebug-however every mix is differant.. same with crankbaits,jigs,spinnerbaits... every bait is designed differant with differant matierals.. lets take the kvd blades.. nicely set up with a heavy titanium wire and a gammy hook.. they do work.. but the blade combo's normally suck for this area and the skirts are a joke.either we as anglers must modify the bait out of package or buy one that has the correct blade/skirt combo.. and you wonder why i tote a hundred blades with me... zooker

Marlboro and Sam Adams.
Seriously though, I do not have too much loyalty to any particular brand other than hooks and line. Like Zooker said, each company has slightly different shades and actions.

Cool guys, looks like SK is a pretty popular company.
Since y'aller adding line rod and reel in there, I guess I'll add mine as well. Line: P-line Rod: Still looking but since the only "premium" rod I own is a Cabelas XML and I love it, I'd say Cabelas. Reels: Considering everything, I'd have to say Daiwa. My BPS JML is not that good of a value. If my daiwa was faster, and casted lighter stuff (under 1/4oz, and 1/2oz cranks), than it would defiantly be my everything reel, silky smooth for a 30 yr old reel!
