This man speaks the truth. Listen to him. Anything with XFti, Xti, XGti, XDti, RSDti or just about anything with ti and a Slant Bridge.
And by privately I mean they don't even make it into the 'for sale' section of this site.
There are a few gentlemen on this site that have them. Some more than one. Not hoarding, just back rods, in case the one in use happens to break.
If I had to pick ONE favorite for my style of fishing, it would be the Jabberwock Evo SB. You really do need one of each though and you'll be set (Jabberwock and Diablo SB). Or two of each if you can find them.....

Oh and get your wallet ready to. Prices seem to hover between $1000-$1500 for perfect examples.

As for my favorites, I only have the newer MB stuff as I have only been afflicted with the MB addiction for a couple years now. Here is a list of what I think are must-haves:
Orochi XX lineup: perfect pitch, EMTF
X7 line: Super Eiger (amazing), Diablo fastmove, bearingdown type-x
C40 evoluzion: Mephisto
The above rods listed are beauties and continually impress me each outing that they get used.

If you like tossing 1/4 to 3/8 jigs, i would highly recommend the P3 Bearing Down. I haven't use a rod that good since the Gunslinger and NRX 854C. For heavier jigs i go straight for my Black Gunner.

Are there any major differences between the Super Eiger and the Eiger Northwall?
Seems like the super eiger is getting some major love

Major differences, yes. The Eiger Northwall fishes to me almost a full power lighter and is more parabolic than the Super Eiger. The ENW is a great rod indeed, but very different feeling on the water than the Super Eiger.

after reading everyones comments, to have every rod mentioned you would require a warehouse to store them all. It would be a wonderful place to visit though!
