[Big Steel]

My favorite is a sage 3113 as well, SIC guides.  Although I do like my loomis as well.  But for some reason, I am always pulling out the sage for steelies.  Love the feel. with those guides, I don't really have to worry about changing them, ever!!

House of Hardy 10 wt. 3pc. 12'6" spey rod is my favorite drift rod.
Use it for spey or pinning...awesome.

finally! I used a B&W for years ,raised a few eyebrows, lost that to a fire,going to pick up a short spey rod on my next trip to the U.K.
use the trophy now and gave had fair sucsess

Fenwick 1326 , great rod.

[FishiN AddicT]

I love my loomis, but seem to use the Fenwick HMX more often.  All depends on which one i feel like taking.  Both reliable rods for me 

[drift]

I own more expensive rods but I always seem to pull out my trophy .Just has that right feel?

[scruffy]

i own a hmx med/heavy 11' great for the big fish and i also have a shimano convergence med/heavy i like the feel of the hmx better and it's also seems lighter

I've said it so many times but Convergence is way over rated. For them money you will never be able to beat a berkley. I know guys who prefer the berkley to their sage.

Strykers,3106,4106,or a hefty 5106.....still need a 2106 for the collection,but not those pimpy blue guides though

I use a Sage 3113lb bait caster with a Shimano calais reel. Sage 3113lb center pin with a John Milner 4-3/8 King Fisher and Sage 3113mb with a Shimano 401te  when I'm in the mood to catch springs. Although I have caught many springs with my lb's, I find the mb's have more back bone. I prefer the extra length great for hard to reach area's.

well... hehe
for many years my favorite rod for ho's and steel and the other salmons has been a berkley series one, 1993 edition. Then a few years ago I started working in a tackle shop  Since i've had opportunities to test many rods. My favorite rod for big water springs is a talon m2 11' 2, for coho's and steelhead would be a Sage 3106, no worries when that 45 to 50 lbs vedder white inhales the roe i intended for the yap of a hatchery coho. For small rivers like the cap i fish a custom lamiglas custom cut from a 10 6 graphite blank and shortened up to 8 ft, killer rod for 3 to 6 lbs hoes. Now for spoons i use a shimano clarus 8ft xtra fast action. Think i got too many rods? well we didn't even touch trolling, spinning flyfishing...... okay i'll shut up now

Sage 3106 for the pin and Fenwick HMX for the level wind.
