My G. Loomis IMX is my favorite rod, but I have a few St. Croixs, and they're a close number 2.

I like St. Croix Legends and American Rodsmiths.  Both do a great job for what they were designed to do.

I love my shimano crucial, I got a carrot stix for xmas but haven't had a chance to use it. I am really interested in the mojo bass rods though.

You people have expensive tastes.

BPS for me.

I was an All Star fan (I still am), but Fenwick is all I have bought lately.  The HMG series is light, sensitive and tough.  Gorgeous, too.  

I've fished a friend's GLX once and his Avid a couple of times.  Great rods as well, from the little time I've spent with them.   But I couldn't tell a huge difference between them (none with the Avid) and my HMGs.  So I see no reason to move from the HMGs.  Though I may try a Techna AV shortly.

I have 7 All Stars (2 TAS IM10s, and 5 American Classics).  There is very little difference between them, but the American Classics do seem a wee bit heavier.  I like them a lot and they are my heaviest duty rods.  The American Classics are brute strong and some of them have been abused and they just keep on truckin'.  

G Loomis for worm/jig

Powelll/Lamiglas for cranks

I have four st croix rods and one kistler. I really like st croix rods and I plan on only fishing with them this year.

Like my crucials and carrot stixs equally!!

I have about fifty favorites, all custom built by me, for me and my style/techniques, all on different blanks Loomis®, StCroix®, Rainshadow®, etc.

right now i have about a dozen diff types, but i like my powells and my cumaras the best, have a new g-blanks i havent put to use yet though...

Loomis has to be my favorite........

Custom Loomis GLX ...... awesome.

1.  St. Croix

2.  Shimano

I'm sure I'd probably like the Loomis rods, but I'm not about to drop that kind of money; especially after I see all these 401K statements coming in now :'(
