For the most part St. Croix and Abu Garcia rods, primarily Shimano and Abu Garcia reels. 
 

I fish a Falcon and a Loomis setup as well. I don’t leave home without them. 

All Dobyns unless I'm hiking through the woods on some river. All Dobyns, unless they don't make the application I'm looking for............which for now, appears to be just the lack of moderate graphite or composite spinning rods.

Various labels within the Fenwick family... so I guess just one.

Oh yeah.........I guess the question was rods. ?

 

I've got Abu Garcia, Dobyn's, Shimano, and Lew's. I use the Dobyn's rods every trip, but also use the Shimano and Abu Garcia ones most of the time. I got a Lew's combo a few years ago on sale and while I do use it, I don't like it. At the end of the day, they all work so I don't care too much.

One thing surprised me reading through the replys was how many list Fenwicks, they don't seem to be a popular rod today but many of us still have them.  One of my Fenwick fly rods is a 50+ year old glass rod I still fish, real sweet and looks brand new! 

I fish almost entirely St. Croix, but also have some Lew’s. I have tried other brands, but really got hooked on St. Croix. Most of my Lew’s stuff was bought early on in my fishing journey due to it being readily available and low price for the quality. Still love the ones I’ve kept though. 

Most of my rods are Daiwas, and I have a couple of St Croix rods as well. At the time, Daiwa did not have an offering that fit what I was looking for.

 

Two

All Shimano/Jackall right now with the exception of one Phenix Recon Elite for swimbaits. All 2020 Metanium MGL reels and Poison Adrena, Poison Glorious and Expride rods. 

I have zero brand loyalty in rods and don't understand why anyone would.  Every bait I throw I want a specific rod power and action.  Whatever manufacturer has the blank that fits the bill is the one I will have built.  Every time I have bought a rod based on what it should be it has been a monster failure.  

I own rods from Daiwa, Dobyns, Megabass, St Croix, Abu Garcia, Lews, Leviathan, Bass Pro, 13 Fishing, Temple Fork Outfitters, Favorite, Okuma, Tsunami, Tsurinoya, and Shakespear. Daiwa and Dobyns make up the overwhelming majority of my collection though.

Don't know, don't care, it's a bunch though.

Ice too thick to fish through, too thin to walk on, and I can only do one Numbrix and one Wordle a day, so...

I don't understand as much about rods as I probably should. So I'm an uneducated consumer that is the perfect target for brand loyalty advertising. Not one to disappoint, I plan on buying iRods for the foreseeable future.

Evergreen, Miller, Dobyns, Daiwa, Megabass, Nameless Customs, Ark and Bass Pro. I plan to try a Shimano Zodias at some point mainly due to looks but enjoy all the brands above at various price levels.

St Croix 

I have 7 st croixs. One for panfish/trout, 4 for bass and walleye, 2 for musky. I get them at the factory for the most part and they make any power and action i could possibly need. Havent been disappointed yet so no reason to change. Also have 2 of their ice rods along with some other cheapo ice combos.

I've got a use a plueger, 13 fishing, Fenwick and Shimano rods. 

 

I like the 13 fishing rods for the price, but the durability has been awful, so I'm not buying any more. The Fenwick rod was an in-store emergency purchase. 

 

So most of my rods/any new purchases will hopefully be cheaper Shimano rods. I like the price point and durability.
