    I've come to love that 7 4 MH Howell for chatters and spinnerbaits. Perfect action and the slightly shorter handle works well for me.

    The last time I checked this website didn't support a data export from my Oracle Express Edition database I use to inventory my JDM fishing tackle, so I'll refrain from cluttering up this thread.

    All joking aside, what is it you are seeking? I tend to categorize/organize my JDM casting and spinning rods by function/technique, and I suspect that you will find that there are regional differences due to geology/hydrology and weather conditions across our great nation. For instance, we are all done fishing open water in the Upper Midwest where you and I reside, but my uncle was out fishing for stripers this afternoon in a t-shirt on the California Delta near his house in Sacramento, CA.

    Or is it that you are seeking only actual rod model information as some have responded with so far? If so, I'm uncertain that some of my more obscure JDM casting and (especially) spinning rods I own and fish with may not be of any use to you without some form of categorization/organization of the rod information.

    Please have a great day!

    Hahaha! You flatter me far too much sir.

    However, since it is wintertime and the lakes have started icing up, I'll devote some time and thought to how best to share my "rod arsenal" as the OP indicated in a format that may be useful for others.

    Please have a great day!

    Mr Bass, you are now the reference I will make to my wife when she says I have too many high end rods..

    Looks like the Ark Drop Shot rod stayed in the line up?? Is the 7'6" Abu the Premier or the X ? I have the Premier and it is a GREAT stick!!

    The St Croix Glass rods are really unique rods. I may pick up the 6'10" for poppers and smaller topwaters.
