What brand Rods do you prefer?
I have three right now I am very fond of...Team Daiwa, Falcon and Pfluger (Trion only). The Trions are like 35 bucks, and make a crankbait rod and a cool spinnerbait rod. Good stuff, and LIGHT. I like the Team Daiwas for worms, senkos and jigs, I have the frog rod and dig it. I have a really light falcon Lowrider I use for ripbaits and 1/4 traps, and a cara that is INSANE for worms. How about you guys?

Lately I've been buying the Gander Mountain rods. I especially like their IM 8 blanks. There prices are reasonable, and they have a life time warrenty.

Airrus rods are just about the best to me. All the things in a rod u want AND a ovwer the counter warranty. With the cost being what they do cost thats GREAT. You break it you bring it in and get a new one. Finally order a Fenwick flipper and cant wait.

Lagunas and G-loomis. Use a Laguna M 6'6" With a Chronarch MG for my bass caster, Two Lightning rods with my spinners cause thats all I can get a hookset with. Two loomis greenwaters with SF curados for inshore reds and trout.

Jolly where do you get the Falcon blanks? Or do you just use G-Loomis for building you own rods? I've been looking to get into making rods as a winter time hobby and I'm trying to decide what blanks to use. I'm thinking about buying a Lamiglas Competitor blank for my first rod. The blanks are around $30.00 and I've heard they are a pretty good rod. Plus if I mess it up too bad I'm not out $120.00-$150.00 just on a blank.

My best bass rods in my arsenal are from Shimano (crucial mh 6'10") and a Lamiglas Competitor rod (med 6'6" 8-20 lb 3/8-1oz) casting rods and a Lamiglas certified pro drop shot special rod (7' rod).

Good to see you around Dodge. I use any brand that I can afford and if I think the rod out of my price range will help refine my lure presentation for a specific type of lure, I will save up until I get it. If you start thinking about certain lure presentations as I do, you will no doubt drive yourself crazy trying to get "the correct rod" for the specific lure presentation. Soon you will accumulate an collection of rods that will rival your wife's shoe collection ?
