I do love my Major Craft rods, but seriously, how bout them Tatulas? Powerful, sensitive, lightweight, well built, technique specific rods with great components, and easy to come by for less than msrp with a 5 year warranty makes them incredibly hard to surpass. They're hard to pass up, too. That's why I've got 4 and counting.

Falcon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

That is all......

I have more St. Croix and Lamiglas than anything else, so I will go with those two.

Am I the first person to say Powell??

 

You won't be the last.

Do you work for Phenix?

not at all , from fishing for quite a few years iv'e come to discover what is better than others !!!!

this day and age there is no room for comprimising on investments i make in fishing products , Phenix has rod blanks that fit to the style baits and techniques i use , their customer service is excellent , they answer all my questions about their rod blanks including weighing rod blanks & measuring rod blanks for me when i ask them too with no hesitation , the very definition of customer service ..

 

anyhow , again , no i don't have any affiliation with Phenix Rods but just a loyal customer ....

That's great.. It's not easy to find all that in one place. A big credit to Phenix and to you for your passion.

thanks , can't wait to get a Phenix K2 765 (7'6'' H/F) , these blanks are ridiculous !!! 

with the blank weighing 1.9 oz. , build weight for the rod should come in at 3.25 oz. !!

Dang. Looking at mine, it appears I have Berkely and Daiwa, mostly, with a Quantum and BPS or two.

I have some ideas about what I need next. Been shopping and will likely have to go custom.

This post should of had a pole to see the total amount of the major companies.

St Croix for the win!

I am a fan of the MHX rod blanks for custom built rods............lots of bang for the buck. 

 

Off the shelf rods, it's hard, for the money to beat Pure Fishing's line up..Fenwick, Abu, Berkley, etc.....all offer excellent performance for the $$. Are they the best made rods with top shelf components? No, but like I said, they are are, for the money, IMHO, tough to beat.

I feel Megabass and a few others would head my list.............if I could only afford them.  Fenwick, Tatula and my Powell Endurance are some favorites.  Believe it or not, but I have some Quantum rods that I enjoy using.  My only Hurricane Redbone is a lot of rod for the money.  Especially since I got it for $75 new.  I'd gladly buy a few more at that price.

St. Croix

Well I have a lot of BPS, St. Croix, and some old Daiwa rods.  I like all of them as long as they can hold a fish.

Dobyns champion! All day
