Well you seem to have all the high end rods covered.
I recently bought a Revo SX it just felt better in my hand than the Curado, too be honest the Curado felt cheap.
I am partial to Shimano rods because they perform well and are well made, pair your new reel up with a Compre or a Crucial and you will have a fine combo.
I don`t need hellium rods or carrot rods, I like to stick with what I know.
