What's your favorite line of rods?

[Kyle S]

Currently in production or no longer produced. I'm curious to hear what you all have to say.

I'm in the market for a few new rods and want to treat myself to something nice!

 

[Fishin' Fool]

G Loomis either GLX or NRX with a slight nod given to the NRX if you have the extra cash.

[Junk Fisherman]

Nothing I own compares to my Steez rod but at over $500 those are not very practical for building an arsenal.  My Dobyns Champion XP and HP rods are fantastic and in the $200 to $300 range so I'll say them.

Shimano Expride

In the under 200.00 range, the Irod Genesis III are hard to beat.

For me also.

Well since I would probably never find myself spending more than 100 dollars on a rod, the Fenwick HMG line is the best of that group.  Its a mid priced workhorse line of rods that have the sensitivity of a rod that should be at least 50 to 70 dollars more expensive.

I have been very pleased with Dobyns fury’s for the past 5 seasons

[CountryboyinDC]

St. Croix Avids.  I believe that they're at the end of production with the entry of the Victory line.  I have a Victory, and so far very little time with it in my hand (no fish either).  Although it seems to beat the Avid in sensitivity and weight, I prefer the components used on the Avid.  In the end, I think it's a nicer rod.

Well my favorite rod is almost certainly going to be my Daiwa Steez AGS Bottom Contact rod. I haven't fished it yet (waiting until I get out the kayaks) but I can feel every vibration and every guide when I put the rod sleeve on, it's insane! From what I gather, this rod is newer than the other Steez AGS rods where they made a new specific blank and everything to try to make the best rod possible, so I have no idea if the rest of the line holds up (but I wish I had the money to find out)

 

Most of my rods are Daiwa Tatulas which has been my go to line. They're very solid for the price. I also own a Tatula Elite and have another on the way.

[ATA]

G-Loomis Conquest, You want to go cheaper, do G-Loomis E6X

[Finessegenics]

I own pricier rods but my favorite is the Mojo Bass. Great value and they have some great models 

[Revival]

ALX Zolos

Another fan of Fenwick

[Mike L]

Fenwick Techna AV. 

Best fishing rod ever made. 
 

They stopped production a few years back. Do yourself a favor and find one. 

 

You can thank me later.

What about the Techna PXs?  Do you like those?

[Born 2 fish]

My favorite is the OG Tatula series. With the new KAGE a close 2nd

[RDB]

NRX for bottom contact.

Witch Doctor for moving baits (getting ready to test Alpha Angler).

[swhit140]

Daiwa Tatula, Dobyns Champion XP, Falcon Expert have been my favorite ones I've tried over the last few years that were under $200.00

[FishTank]

Best bang for the buck.....  St. Croix Avid.  I do like all of the St. Croix rods I have though.

 

Favorite over all......  G. Loomis NRX or GLX

 

Fun to fish..... Megabass Destroyer P5

[Darth-Baiter]

Phenix Maxim is one light and sensitive rod. Kinda want to pick up a casting version soon.  Not a handsome rod tho.  

[Jig Man]

Favorite is Gloomis.
