I'd like to hear what types of rods fellow OFF'ers like to use.
I prefer fiberglass rods, hands down, for all of the different species that I chase (trout, steelies, nooks, kokes, bass, crappie, and cats). I can cast farther, feel the fight better (due to flexibility/action), and have never broken a glass rod.
My favorite brand is Fenwick. I also have a 5' UL hollow Lamiglas that I dearly love. And I have a matching pair of 7' medium action D.A.M. Quick glass rods. I haven't used 'em just yet (got 'em recently on eBay). But, I'm looking forward to it! I also like Shakespeare Wonder Rods.
I'd also like to get my hands on some Fenwick Matrix and Boron rods someday. The Matrix series, is a composite of Glass & Graphite.
So, let us know what type(s) you prefer to use, why you like 'em, and your favorite brand(s) too. I'm looking forward to seeing your posts.
Thank you.
P.S. I have found most of my rods at yard / garage sales and/or on eBay or Craig's list. There are some really GOOD deals out there, as long as you know what you like and what to look for.
