I have a boat load of nothing but Falcons, currently.
I have a closet full of Academy, Cashion, and Daiwa.
I like the Falcons for the money. They ain’t the best, but they’re good enough.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

G Loomis, 13 Fishing and St Croix are the only rod I use. No individual manufacturer had exactly what I was looking for,
which is why the 3 different brands.

Here’s a $4000 starter kit @tmd11111 , What rods are those? I think those are the Academy house brand rods 😈😈😈 Good info on the Kistler stuff...that will be my next purchase after reading about them on here...hope they are good! LOL Was a Falcon only guy for 20+yrs,once they went to China I've been buying St Croix. Aside from Kistler, if you want to go American the Cashion Icon is all USA made. not sure about the handles material or guides...but its my understanding even the blank is made in the US and then of course the cashion people make the rod. The worm rod is very impressive for the price Spoiler: those are Loomis NRX i believe. top of the tops from my understanding

The G Loomis Conquest is more expensive than the NRX but it seems the NRX is more popular from what I have seen.
Power Tackle rods are American made also and they are fantastic rods.

I have owed at least one from many different brands. My favorite all time was a Kistler Helium. It gave me a felt significantly better and allowed me to feel more bites than any other rod I owned at the time. I owned a St. Croix Premier that I loved for crankbaits and spinnerbaits. A friend of mine made me a punching stick that is a beast and will yank them out of the thick stuff. There are a lot of really good rods being made at many different price points. If I want exactly what I want for a particular need then I am going to roll my own with the components best suited for that job. If I want to be brand loyal then g.Loomis or Kistler could pretty much meet my every need.

What brand of rods are you using and what brought ya to use them??? Started with 3 rods last year: Bass Pro, St. Croix and Scheel's Outfitters but since I have picked up 2 Lew's combos, 2 Six Gill rods and an Ike Power rod. Still building out the collection and hope to start buying technique-specific rods from G Loomis or Kistler in the coming years.
