    Don’t know I could say that there is a popular rod brand out there. Since there is so many nowadays. It’s more of an opinion or preference.

    I can remember in 1979 a friend bought a ugly stick and I was jealous
    All I had was I had was a cheap Ted Williams or Shakespeare.
    and they still make them.

    Most popular is most likely Ugly Stik
    My favorite as a kid in the 70s were my Lews Fugi speed sticks with Ambassador 5000

    Even down here in Texas the Falcons are popular, specifically the real, American made ones. Too bad you can't get 'em any more.

    I would bet that there are more rods out there with Johnny Morris name on them than any other.

    Personally I like MHX. I build my own and have had good experiences with these blanks.

    I bet BPS rods come second to Ugly Stick rods.

    The new Ugly Sticks are actually a pretty nice rod. I buy and sell used and new fishing tackle. I had a fishing flea market yesterday. I sold two used Shimano rods for $110 each, the purchasers didn't haggle at the price. Trevalas.
    What is popular? Name brands, pretty rods or rods that match each other and can be recognized just sitting there. A ton of bass fishermen would fish with a pool stick if the others in their group would envy them.
