A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to GLoomis 1266 (C).... I love it, although I could use a few bigger fishing tugging at the other end.

Depends on where I want to fish. If I could only have 1 fishing rod it would be my zziplex sea raiderII. Not the best at all applications, like throwing 7/8 bombers or 6 oz rubber duckies but it will do both adequately.
for jigging ; 1209 all star
plugging; Lami GSB 1322
chunking ;Lami 121 3M

One rod? Impossible for me. I think my problem is figuring out which one is my favorite on a given night fishing a certain way. Here is my list of rods I frequently use:
1201M - spinner and conventional - spinner is sweet for darters, conventional is great on eels
1081MH - SWEET slug-go rod as a spinner, just getting used to it as a conventional
1321M conventional - great needlefish, jigging, or eel rod
Zziplex sea raider - still getting used to this one, but it is a very good all around conventional

I just picked up a new Falcon and I really love it, but most of my fishing is off the boat.
