I couldn't agree more with "you can never have too many rods", just the problem I have is that I can't afford much - being a student and all. Just wanted to make a thread where people can brag and see what others use and have got. I've only got a few rods at the moment but I'll add the few I'm looking at buying.
1x Daiwa Ivan Marks Lightning Carbon 13ft Match - my £5 car boot find
2x Lineaeffe Carp Beater 2.75lb (spot on for 20 pound each!)
1x Lineaeffe Telescopic 8ft heavy spin rod
1x Kingfisher 12ft float rod
The bottom two will probably see the bin soon...
I did have -
1x NGT 2lb 8ft stalker (sold it, far too "short and stiff")
1x Unknown 13ft Shakespeare match rod (neighbours took it out with the hedge trimmers whilst it was leant against the hedge)
1x Korum 12ft 2lb barbel rod (sent it back Friday, had it 4 days, just wasn't right for my small local river)
And I'm buying -
1x Shakespeare Mach 1 XT 14ft Power Feeder (Trent match rod)
1x Shimano Forcemaster AX 11ft "Mini" Feeder rod
1x Abu Garcia Carbon Devil Spin 7ft
Also wanting a pair of "big river" barbel rods which I may buy nearer to Christmas when there's a lot of floodwater. As well as a Korum 1.5lb all rounder for fishing my local small river as well as using it on my local commercial, thinking of getting a Ron Thompson 1.5lb barbel rod for the time being as it's cheap cheap cheap!
There's a few more I want plus I want to replace my carp rods eventually but that's gonna be a while yet!
So, what have you got?
