Gloomis greenwater for speckle trout

Shimano jigging rod for Red snapper (works great)

I also have an assortment Falcon, Allstar Challenger and 1 other Loomis but those above are my favorites.

Falcon, Castaway, and All Star. Falcon used to be the shot about 5-8 years ago. Not sure who's best now.

Mostly Falcon. I have had allstars, but I only have one that has held up over the years.

I have two Shimano Clarus rods that I use for reds/specks. It's a decent rod and you can't beat the no questions in store warranty that shimano offers. I broke the tip of my baitcaster in the rod box and brought it back to the tackle shop. They took it back and told me to go get one off of the shelf. No questions.

Been using the "Ugly Stick" for 20 years. Not flashy but I got no complaints.
