What's Your Favorite Rod You Have Ever Used?

[00SKEETER]

I'm seeing more and more people using the Carrot Stix. I've heard nothing but good things about them. Is there much differece in the LTX and Gold models besides price? I have recently started using Powell rods and I'm pretty happy with them but I might have to see what all the hype is about with the Orange Stix.

Biggest thing between the two is Carrot stix' LTX seem to run softer than stamped IMO, I bought a rod for c-rigging and got a 7'9" xtra hvy and this thing is a broom stick until I set the hook and then it bows like a champ but yet it is light as a feather. and I paired it with my curado reel and this things a beast!!! But I had to step up in line size to 17 or 20 instead of 15# but I use fluro for all my slow baits and the diameter is smaller anyway. If you get one for worming, jigging, finesse I suggest a longer 7'2" to 7'9".

My shakey head rod is my lifeline to numbers of fish but out on a ledge with a long cast in hand - my new c-rig/jig rod totes the note! Best rod on the market for the money hands down IMHO. I do like the fact if it breaks I don't have to hand someone a $50 bill to get it replaced!!!!!
