8' 3 weight i built(cedar blank with recoil guides)
Orvis T3 9' 4 weight tip fles (dry flies)
Orvis T3 9' 5 weight for humphing/streamers/dries
Orvis T3 9' 6 weight for large dries/streamers
9' 7 weight for streamers and larger fish (cabela's SLi blank that I made)
older St. Croix 9' 5 weight
all my rods have large arbor reels and now that I'm used to those it's hard to fish with anything else.

St. Croix ultra 6wt-9 ft, imperial 5 wt-8 ft
Reddington 8 wt-10 ft
Scientific Angler 7 wt-9ft, 5/6 wt-9 ft(3 of them)
Burger Bros. 4wt-7ft, 5wt-8ft
a few others in the lower ranges
nothing high end or esoteric as I'm pretty hard on them and I've learned to balance my equipment inventory with my marriage. I do like to teach others how to cast to trout, bass and pike so I have two or more of a lot of things like float tubes and wading outfits. And my wife used to cast with me until the last few years when we had our daughter.

I have a 9' St. Croix 5wt and a 9' Shakespear 7-8 wt.
I want do more smallmouth bass fishing this year, hopefully with flies. Wooly buggers, poppers, and the classic terrestrial imitations sound like fun to me.
I like the St. Croix. Mine is a bit long though. I would like to get a 3 or 4 wt 7' or there abouts to tackle some of the more enclosed streams. This open water season is all about smallies and native brookies.

I think I gave My flyrod to Whatpole.
Bought it at a rummage sale for a few pennies or maby a buck,do`nt remember now.
It was made of steel and it collapsed down to about 3 ft. or so,a real funny investment.
Maby if Whatpole sees this post He might take a pic. of the thing and post it.

Cabelas Three Forks 7.5ft 3 wt
Cabelas Stowaway 5pc 9ft 6wt
Orvis Rocky Mt 8.5ft 5 wt
I end up using the stowaway the most, as it is compact and easy to transport to the places I need to go to find fish gullible enough.
