Different rods or all the same?

[Basseditor]

We (my two adult sons and I) have 75 Kistler Rods.

 

60% of my reels are Daiwa. After I converted all my rods (over 10 years span), I’m slowly replacing the reels to Daiwa. Ebay is my friend for Daiwa reels.

My new baitcasting  combos are Diawa tatula SV TwS with tatula elite rods..

 

Spinning reels Penn Conflict  & Clash on Dobyns rods.

I like variety, that way you can judge for yourself the difference between manufacturers. There is a few I do like better then others and after having fished a bunch I’m more inclined to go with them for future purchases but as of now I have st. Croix, loomis, dobyns, daiwa, kistler and a company that can’t be named. As for reels, I’m partial to shimano but love the daiwa as well. I don’t wonder too far from them when making a new purchase for a reel
