Default Are your rods homogenous?

Well, do you prefer to fish with one brand or do you have a myriad of sticks from different companies?

I have about 18 rods and they consist of about 10 different brands.
It looks like before long, I will have about 1 of everything.

You already know my answer - 15 Kistler rods in my locker. Similar with reels, 13 Pflueger and 2 Shimano Castic's on my pitchin rods. No sponsorships, I just like those reels and nothing I've found compares with Kistler rods.

Mostly extremes, I have 2 G-loomis (1 is a spinning rod and hate it-tooooo senative) and 2 AMS that I haven't used.

I'm still in the process of finding my main brand, I've owned BPS rods, CAbela's (my starter rods), and a custom made rod. I've fished with all star, falcon, fenwick, and Loomis rods. I'd have to say my favorite is the Loomis, but that would mean I could afford a new rods every few years soo.... teh search is still on.

So.. to actually answer the question, no.

Most of my rods are hand-me downers. I have a small collection. I have only bought three rods, the other 5 or so are mix n match from what my dad and my grandfather had. I like the sentimental value of all of them

Sure wish I could say that I'm brand specific and that they're all custom made. But the truth is that I've got 12 rods consisting of Shimano, Falcon, All Star, and the remainder are house rods that preform way better then I thought they would.

I just counted the other day and I have 14 different brands of rods, so no, not homogeneous.

bionic blades only. thats all ive ever owned and any time i pick up a different brand i feel like a part of me is missing and to some extent that is true because my confidence level drops immediatly. not that i believe that bionic blades are any better than the rest but they are comfortable to me.

I have the opposite problem. When I find a brand I like and want to get another one, I usually end up with something different, just to make it don't like that better. I definately would love to try a Kistler, I hope our BPS is donna have them in store.

I use JB custom rods. That's pretty much all I use now. I own a few others, but they sit in the closet or the wife uses them.
