I have kept a few functioning Mitchells and short fibreglass ledger rods that still get an outing but the Efgeeco seat, Intrepid reels, Shaky Strike and Sigma all went to the tackle dump in the sky many years ago.
But whats the worst kit that you still keep hold of?
I am proud of my orange Huge Dog 10ft Avon style fibreglass rod. It may be a bit fast taper to be strictly called an Avon..but i made it from a Lerc pole and fitted it with all the latest Fuji rings and a Fuji locking reel seat too (easier than a cork handle - infact the glass was too thick for one at that end). Incredibly i caught a fair number of good fish on this rod - bags of chub or tench and a 1Ib 15oz roach once. Just need a Big Pit reel to go with it...
Phew that took some doing uploading quality like that..
