I am referring to the brand, not personal favorites, although I am open to thoughts and opinions on personal favorites as well.

Through a very unfortunate set of circumstances my rod collection is now down by 2. The two victims actually made up 50% of my standard "go to" set of 4 rigs. They were a St Croix Panfish UL and a Bass Pro Panfish Elite. I liked both enough that if I replaced them with the same models of each I would be very happy, but as fishermen, we can't pass on an opportunity to upgrade. This leads to my question.

Does anyone here have any experience with Favorite rods?

This is the one I am interested in
Yampa River Spinning Rod – Favorite Fishing (favoriteusa.com)

Any thoughts and opinions are welcome, as well as input on other brands. Thank you all in advance.
