All Around Fishing Gear

I don't know what it is in my head that wants to stay loyal to to certain brands for fishing combo's. But I think it is time to change my brand of equipment just for the sake of availability. I just want a good all around brand for both fly fishing and spin fishing. I now use Pflueger and Penn equipment but is getting harder to find pflueger. I am thinking about St. Croix but am not sure if the cost outways the silliness in my head. I like using nicer equipment so spending 100+ on a new reel doesn't bother me nor does spending 150+ on new fly rods. I'd just like some opinions or examples on what others use as their primary goto equipment. Of course I still use the 30 dollar wally world crap for spur of moment cat fishing and stuff like that. And just as a side not I stick to trilene line. I don't know why or what is wrong with my head but it works and I stick with it. Any and all suggestions for any type of equipment will be helpful. And no, please don't tell me uglystik rods are the way to go.

I use a variety of gear from Winston Thomas & Thomas to ugly stick if I had to choose one brand to go with I would choose G loomis
You have to remember when buying Loomis or St Croix you are also paying for the warranty you break a rod $50 will get you a replacement no questions asked

Why just 1 brand ? I use many different brands, I like Shimano reels, but have other brands. I like ugly stick rods, best quality for the price, but have others as well. .
Every manaufactuer has cheaper as well as top end products. I find the best I can afford at the time and go with that. But thats just my $.02 on the matter.
Plus I've found that most combo packages have cheaper reels, there are some in catalogs that are better, but your average at most sport stores and WallWorld type stores are junk.

I've became accustom to using shimano and okuma rods and US Reels and pflueger you can't beat the quality your buying for the money. I also am a strong supporter of Seaguar lines and Acme lures

Also Tica rods if you can find them are great! I have 3 all carbon lite run for about 50 bucks can't beat it strong and light
