What rod and reel brand takes up the most space in your arsenal?

[Highcentered]

Just a fun curiosity poll. No need to say one is better than the other because that's pointless.

For rods I have mostly BPS Carbonlites. They're good workhorse rods for the money and fairly sensitive for a rod between $100 and $150. I like having at least mostly the same line of rods so the feel is at least similar across the different actions and when having identical setups for cranking I can't tell one combo from the other going by feel alone.

For reels I'm mostly Shimano. For what I do the Curado MGL puts in a lot of work. I've been a Shimano guy for most of my life and tried other brands and kept coming back to Shimano. I prefer the braking system on their baitcast reels and their spinning reels have for the most part treated me well.

All Star rods and Shimano reels.

I haven't used any since March 2021, so guessing.
Rods, I would guess different label Berkley, or BPS ones.
Reels, I would guess different label BPS, or Quantum ones.

My baitcasters consist of Shimanos and one Daiwa. Spinning reels are Daiwa. Rods are all over the place. Never had one mfg that I could say I like their whole line. My two spinning rods I use are FX rods, a smaller company but an awesome lightweight rod with great power. Another small rod company that I have a couple of is Doomsday Tackle.
