Alpha211,
have you considered a few custom rods?
i have a couple and i wont buy another mass produced stock rod.
RobertR here on the forum makes customs for Fish Hazzard Rods.
you should at least consider a custom rod. i assure you the price for a custom rod is as competitive as some of the high end St Croix or G Loomis

Since you mentioned you were looking at Power Tackle, I'll throw in. My buddy fishes with their stuff and got me to test drive a couple of his rods. Loved them! Just bought a P-143. Very sensitive and balanced. I've heard their warranty and customer support is first rate too but haven't had to use them yet.
Cheers,
Jim

If going with custom rods check out shockwave rods at shockwaverods.com. Just had him make me one; have used it enough to know it is an excellent rod; however, hope to really put it to the test this week. This is the only custom rods I have had in a while. Will probably be getting more shockwaves.

Loomis..hands down for anything under 8ft..lamiglas for long sticks There's you a surf rod, and pair it up with a Daiwa Castizm Surf, or Morethan Branzino Spinning reel and you've got yourself an untouchable surf setup in my opinon.

Right now, I'm into BPS stuff, especially the Cranking Stick in 7"6".

i like Dobyns the best.
but if you don't want to spend a whole lot of money i would go with falcon.
i use both all the time. but i do prefer the Dobyns more.

I have slowly changed all my rods to American rodsmiths. They are a Texas based company and they have very good customer service. I Dont have many of they're highest end bass rods but the ones I do have i love. They are not the lighest rods on the market but they are very durable strong and sensitive. My favorite series are the mag strike rods. But I am going to have to buy a limit stix with the new v-17 winn grip on it just to see what it's all about. When I started pairing them up with that new LFT FH-P I felt like I could feel every thing. Just my .02
