I have 3 rods
A Shakespeare telescoping rod (medium duty), with a Shakespeare spinning reel
A Quantum Octane IM6 rod. I have the factory spinning reel, though I have only used that a couple times. I usually use a Zebco 202 or 404 spincasting reel. For looks, I stained the cork handle with a Birchwoos Casey maple stain.
A mid-1980's vintage Zebco telescoping rod. Came with an equally old Zebco spincasting reel, which has since stopped working. Replaced that with a Zebco 202.
