Folks who fish in my timeline: do you have any unique loyalty to any particular brand of gear? Is it the product of marketing (YETI as an example) or do you really find greater quality at the same price point for similar style products?
I own a wide swath of gear: rods made by Daiwa, Century, Vega, St. Croix, Carrot Stick (the worst investment I have made in fishing gear), and Penn. I have tended to be a Shimano reel guy, but I do have some Penn reels. It seems like the combination of costs and immediate need outweighed brand loyalty. (For example, my favorite cobia bucktail/eel rod is a Shimano Teramar, yet I didn't use one until I had a custom rod built for a pier and bought a Vega for boat fishing.)
I am interested in your thoughts. I am weighing selling off some gear and streamlining with more fewer, more flexible options. I haven't found much need for my Penn Spinfisher 6500 live liner (I use circle hooks, so I can just grab the spool to take care of the hook set) and may move it. I have a Okuma Cedros that I have barely used. I think I can find something else to handle the job.
