G-Loomis Question

Does anyone know when Shimano bought Loomis?

I believe it's been a few years.

18 months ago.

Shimano acquired G. Loomis Inc. in 1997

around 97 is correct, Gary Loomis is still consulting for G.Loomis rods however Shimano Inc. owns them

Time sure does fly! I still have some of the old IM6 stamped rods from the early 90's. I think they are CR723 and CR724, the old casting rods.
