Its been several years, but after some very poor customer service experiences with other big
name rod makers, Gary Dobyns has the majority of my business. I will not go as far as to say
Dobyns rods are the end all... I'm sure most manufacturers produce a quality high end product,
but the trump card for me is how Gary backs his products.

Only really used Shimano and St-Croix. Plan on Megabass and G-loomis in the future. Will probably sway me off Shimano.

For me the jump from Shimano to G Loomis was substantial, but the next jump from that to Megabass was final - its called the Dark Side for a reason

I have St. Croix, Daiwa, Phenix and Dobyns rods. I enjoy the dobyns most. Been staying away from shimano's because of the limited warranty vs lifetime warranty in the dobyns

I chose iRod because they make the USDM version of a rod called the N.S Dark Horse Bass Rods (iRod Crusher) rods, I also like the N.S Hurricane Bass Micro BC-662M.

The majority of my set-ups are 13 Fishing Rods. I just feel like for the price, they can't be beat and I'm big on value.

G Loomis, I am boring. I've owned many rods from many companies over the years. I've only owned 4 Loomis rods ever (3 different models) and I've only used 5 different rods that were truly special and unique pleasures to fish with. The 3 Loomis rods account for 3 of those 5 rods. Of the other 2 rods, one is a 7'6" ML casting Cumara reaction rod and the other is a 5' Fenwick UL Goldenwing with a Tennessee handle.

I would choose St.Croix, the rods preform well and are bulletproof from the bottom of the line up to the top. They suit my budget and I would imagine most other serious anglers. If it was only one company; I would buy a few workhorse rods a high end contact rod and a high end finess rod. Within budget and I still get a couple fancy sticks! Thanks St .Croix lol.
