Any Rod company that has high end rods, with a great warranty

[peterJDM]

G.Loomis for US market
Megabass for the high end JDM market

[Lost Angler]

Im more on finesse fishing mainly just for fun. Fenwick's great rods but in my country it's very hard to find and so is dobyns. Loomis and st. Croix doesn't even exist in local high-end tackle shops.... Im stuck with okuma Celilo rods

What blanks do they build on?

[BRONZEBACK32]

Still loomis, but I do enjoy Megabass and St-Croix also.

I seldom buy a factory rod. I much prefer fishing with my own builds. I only build for myself and closest friends, though. I’m a big fan of St. Croix blanks with a few Point Blank options being used for some techniques.

Not sure, it’s a custom Japanese blank. Sarge used to be at Laguna Rod (another well known TX rodmaker).

ML rods weight 2.4 oz with cork grips and 2.1 with foam grips

Shimano here... All except one Dobyns HP and one Phenix Recon Elite.

Just had to change my vote. was G Loomis when this poll was first put up. but now my current favourites aren't even listed that being Major Craft Rods a JDM company and Bone Rods from Singapore. Though I do like the look of Shimano's latest line of rodsI bought myself a Shimano Zodias spin rod to pair with my Vanford 3000 and actually quite like the rod, and am contemplating a expride or adrena baitcast rod but i use Daiwa baitcasters.

At Croix for spinning, Dobyns and Gloomis for casting rods

Helluva list right there.

For shore jigging and bluefin tuna casting from shore i love Zenaq.
I had some of their seabass focused Plaisir Answer series also. They are great rods, but there are better seabass rods ot there. But that PA99 is a joy to use for bluefish and leerfish.

For light game I prefer Graphiteleader.
For seabass game, in my opinion nothing comes close to some of G-Craft Limited series. I sold all Zenaq spin rods after I started using Graphiteleader and G-Craft Limited rods.

So I have nice rods from Loomis, Dobyns, and St Croix, I like all three brands
