What's the one rod you would buy again without question if you broke it?

I’m all in with the ArK Reinforcer rods.

pure excellence. 
Gave up my Tatulas and Exprides.

Kistler Helium and Z Bones still on the boat next to the Arks.

I would research rod blanks and have a custom made with current technology.

SC AVID 68MXF. Best Senko rod ever made. Went in the drink when I dumped my kayak. Haven’t found the $$$ to replace it yet. (SC Premier doing a pretty good job filling in.)

My favorite right now is a no longer available 6'9" ML Fenwick Elitetech Smallmouth.

 

It works great for weightless plastics, especially wacky senkos, but also weightless tubes up shallow around docks and laydowns.

Ah, one of my holy grails for used gear. Been searching for one for years. What an amazing rod. (Though I’d go for the Medium.)

Use hyberbole much? Or are we to infer that a mid-tier SC rod is even better than SC's corresponding, top-of-the-line Legend Xtreme XFC68MXF rod? Um OK...

Shimano Expride casting rod.
