I bought a new rod on the weekend just a cheep one for throwing a Mr twister lure around.The wife said why do you need another rod you have plenty,I havent got that many I replied. So when I got home I had a look.
The new one was number 12 :-/ .
I hate it when shes right.
So how many have you got ?
And whats your favourite one.

I have 4 that r mine and mum and sis have 1 each so 6 all up, my favorite is my little spin rod 7ft, with i think an okuma on it?, My other favorite is my 9 ft with i think another okuma on it?. Geez i cant even remeber my own reels !!! thats what happens when you dont go fishing and you get passed the point of sitting on your chair rocking back and forth saying " i need to have my fix". lol even what i just said doesnt make any sense!!!!

Whats your faveorite rod skiper?

I am pretty sure my new Egrell B8-5 will be my favorite rod, when I get to see it that is (bought it online from o/s).

I'm thinking of doing the double and getting the B8-6 as well then I'll have two possible favourites. But a T-curve barra has also crossed my mind...

I have a nice Loomis 5' 6" baitcaster but haven't used it enough yet to guage how much I like it.

So far the two rods I've had most barra & black bass success with have been:

1) Penn Pinpoint 5' 6" baitcaster (with a Penn 965 international)
2) Bass Pro Shops intermediate modulus 6" 2-piece baitcaster (with Powerhump grip) and a Calcutta 400

So, those two have been my favourites so far but I'm looking forward to the sought after experience of field-testing the Egrell/s on my next trip to PNG, then there'll be a fair chance they'll become the favourite/s.

Hmmm, dunno how many rods I've got just now as haven't counted'em for a while. Spose it must be nigh on a dozen, and the more I buy them the more upmarket they seem to get!

I have about 9 from memory, but one of my mates at last count had 57!! Yep 57, crazy isn't it - think he's got more $'s than sense! He also has in excess of 80 reels!
