Freshwater Fishing Rod Poll! - California Fishing

Local Rookie · 01-24-2005, 11:32 PM

I am interested to know what kind of rod brand you often fish with for freshwater application. This could be your trout, bass, catfish, musky, pike, etc… anything freshwater.

It looks like the maximum I could do is 10 choices and there is so many more of them. Anyway if your choice is not one of the 10, please post them here. Please remember that is the rod brand you often fish with.

For flyrods I use Redington and Lamiglas, I love them. Very nice rods! My Redington is a 4 piece 6 weight, 9'. My lami is a 9' 8weight.

For spin fishing I use Shimano, and for casting it is berkley.

I use my Bass Pro shops Micro Lites, Cabelas Fish Eagle II and Quantum Xtralite for DFG fish, I use Diawa Spinmatic-X and Quantum Teton for the bigger fish at "L.N.L." and Irvine and I use Several sizes of Ugly Stick, a Roddy Gator tail and a couple of Penns for fresh water bass and local inshore saltwater fishing. I have a couple of heavy action rods for 40+ line class but I have never used them and couldnt tell you who made them.

The Rogue 601 is my "go-to" rod when fishing 1-4 lb. test.

Ps. perhaps the poll could have used an "other" option?

Okay

It might be slightly over kill but at least we know! Please forgive me if I miss a couple of brands. Also, please note some brands are crossed, for example Turner's Californian is made out of All Star blanks, etc...

He's just asking which brand you use the MOST. If it's not one of the ones on the list, you can just reply with the brand!

The custom rod is called Mad Marble? What kind of guides does it have? Can you describe it?

litltroutchaser · 01-26-2005, 12:29 AM
