I have both Loomis and Allstar. I like the Loomis rods for drift fishing. Allstar is fine for me while plugging, floating, or spinning.

I pretty much fish with the following throughout the year:

(Not in any order or preference)

1024c
1025c
1086c
1143c
1263c

And for plugging:

HSR901
HSR964c

Got have some spinning gear:

1083s
1141s

As of late, the 1143, 1263, 1083, and 901 have been my work horses.
