Answered a question earlier and it got me thinking about how it seems a lot if not all rod brands have that one model that is a "must have" almost. I look back and of the rods I have tried in the past I think the G. Loomis IMX 843/844, Dobyns Champion 735 and Megabass Orochi XX Perfect Pitch all are that model for me.
ALX Zolo Deputy. If I could only own one rod this would be it.

I will agree with this selection.
Berkley Lightning Rod. 5.5' casting, medium.
St. Croix Xtreme 7MHF does a lot of chores for me

st croix elite 6'6'MH
Thats a good one too. Don't see people mentioning many sub 7' rods these days. Funny how we all used to think 7' was long.
I had 2 6'6 mh glx models that were the best feeling rods I ever had. Sold them and went to 7 footers.
The Unicorn rod for dropshotting big smallies: Old style Loomis GLX Shakyhead rod, it's better than anything made and the only thing I haven't tried is the new Conquest.
The real dropshot unicorn is a Shikari IP-7000.
That one and Advanced Tubular Composites version of the same blank. Your St Croix picks are spot on but would add the NFC drop shot rods also.
6'6" MH st. Croix Premier spinning rod.

The NFC DS610-7 is way underpowered for Erie smallies. I use it for inland lakes and rivers though.

Irod 754 Air.It is so versatile that it is hard to put down.
Gloomis 893c
My 2 is a 853 NRX and my Allstar topwater special
For me it was a 7ft MH Kistler Helium LTA. Had one and broke it. Finally got one off of this site and it is my favorite rod for bottom contact fishing (worm/jig).
