I know there is a ton of different companies out there. I am just curious of what is everyones favorite rod company is for whatever reason. I know I am leaving out some, but these are just the major brands that come to mind.

I would put the ADG Titan up against anything out there.

However, I was extremely impressed with Peddler's Winston BIIx.

For small streams, I still like my Hardy 8 ft 4wt, which is a slow fiberglass rod.

I've got three Sage rods and that's all I've ever cast (except a few rods that were owned by guides - I don't know what brand they were). I like Sage's customer service and my DS-2 5 wt. is one sweet actioned rod!

I voted for the TFO because they've allowed a lot of us to break into the fly fishing community with an excellent piece of equipment at an affordable price.

Just imagine what a Winston would cost if it were'nt for the other guys putting out quality rods for a fraction of the cost?
