I own only one rod, and honestly I have never had the need to get anything different, (yet....I have never been salmon/steelhead fishing, I'm sure I would need a bigger rod.)

Well my reel is a Heddon model 310, just a floating line, no backing, I like to keep it oldspool
My rod is a Fenwick FL ?? 1 piece 5'7" 6wt SLOW action, Not really sure of how old it is, it was built by my dad, prolly 20+ years old.
I have caught everything from little brooks, to big bass on it, and I put about 150 fishing days a year on it.
I have honestly never really fished with any other rod, I have cast lots of other rods, but only for a cast or two. Considering that my 5'7" 6wt is the hardest rod in the entire world to cast, I figure that the last 20 1/2 years of fishing with it has made me a better caster than I would have been with a 9' rod that is easy to cast.( does this theory make sense?)

hence the name 5footfenwick no........seriously
 
7'4" Pfluegger 2/3 weight IM6(2 inches off butt)

7'2" Pfluegger 2/3 weight IM6(3 inches off butt, 1 off tip)

2 9'0" Rainshadow 7 weight IM6 ( I tend to build kinda matching sets, I guess)

9'0" basspro 8 weight, which was a sacrifice to the salmon gods that never got as broken as I thought it would. :lol:

7'6" (I think) Montague Sunbeam Bamboo, which I inherited from my great uncle. It was a matching set untilI broke 1 when I was 8 using it as a worm rod for natives. (yeah I had the bug even way back then)

9'0" Rainshadow 12/13 weight IM8, which I am about to start working on. I got the blank on clearance from $189.00 down to $12.95 when they closed the Sequim, WA plant. not sure what I'll use it for, but I just wanted to own a 200$ blank. :-D

I also have and unidentifiable bamboo that my father-in-law gave me that I'd like to restore someday, but it's in rough shape. I think it says "hillsider" on the side, but this was painted by hand, so it might not identify the maker as much as the former owner. It was found in his house when he moved in. I'd raelly like to get a spey blank next, since I do half of my casting spey style anyhow, but dang those things are 'spensive. :-o Oh well, in due time, in due time. :-D

I obviously have a problem. The only one I love is the Winston.

Now my wife and I do share rods and I have sold about 10 of my builds. I have also been known to trade rods for flies.....

I also often take complete newbies out often and have them fish my cheaper cabelas rods.

For the record, I let my wife fish the Winston. Now thats love.
