What rods and reels do you have?

[FlyTheory]

The recent discussion about 3wts got me curious about what setups people own? By the way, this is not a bragging board! Some people collect rods as a hobby and other don't.
I own loop opti creek 3wt, opti coast 6wt, opti switch 6wt, green line 7wt, xact 5wt, evotec 8wt. As well as a sage bass largemouth and echo solo 6wt Spey. Let's say I don't need anymore rods. Years of accumulation
My reels are loop opti speed runner and opti dryfly, loop clear reel, and an Amundson wind warrior Spey.

Let's hear what you guys have

Echo carbon 3wt 7'6, echo solo 8wt 9', cabela's somethig or other 6 wt 9' combo, pieroway carboglass 6'6" 2 wt, 1952 J.S. sharpes "scotty" 6wt and a browning gold medilist 7'6" 4 wt. Have a couple of large arbor tfo reels. Redington rise in orange and a new redington zero clicker reel. Have had a few different rods over the years.

3wt is a Sage discovery, use an old SA clicker drag on that.
5wts are 7ft 6" -10ft,TFO,Orvis,Fly Logic and Pieroway, all Ross disc drag reels.
6wts are Penn, Fly Logic, use reels for the 5 or 7wts on those
7wts are Orvis, Sage and Ross disc drag reels on those.
9 & 10wts are TFO, use SA disc drags on those. Also have an old Daiwa 9wt kicking around somewhere.
And I have one that is a combo, I think it is (may have that bass ackwards) of the bottom half of a VPX 5wt and the top half of an Orvis 7 wt., works surprisingly well with 5 wt lines.

2wt - TFO Pro Series US model 8ft 3pc w/sage 3200
3wt - TFO BVK 8ft 4pc w/sage 4200
4wt - Sage Vantage 9ft 4pc w/Reddington Rise
5wt - Sage Flight 9ft 4pc w/Reddington Rise
6wt - Sage TCX 9ft 4pc w/3Tend Reel
This is after 6 years of fly fishing in Alberta and BC.
I am happy with what I have now and maybe a spey rod for next year

How do you like the loop xact? Thinking of checking out a 6wt for streamers.

They just discontinued this series of rods and replaced it with the "Q". But if you can find a 6wt xact (which you most likely can!) Id say it's a great entry level rod and mine has literally seen its way around the world with me (I've used it from USA to India). It's a bit slower action so maybe a 7wt in the xact would be better for streamers. Having said that I've thrown dungeons with the 5wt, and even though it was a little awkward, it did work.
