Favorite Rod

Duckett, St. Croix and Falcon. Not necessarily in that order.

Out of all the rods I have I find myself reaching more for my Powell Rods. Model 703C m/hvy can throw anything from un weighted senkos to a buzzbait.

The best rod I've ever laid my hands on is the G-Loomis NRX 7'1" M (NRX 852S JWR G) spinning rod!! period!

This is all good information. I will likely be buying a new rod soon. These reviews will help narrow my search down.

My newer rods are Abu veritas. When i first received them I was impressed with how lite they were. However, they seem to be a lot more stiff than I like. And, my freind and I have snapped a few. So, I'm looking to go a different direction.

I've also read about 13 rods. Does anyone have any experience with them?

At 500 a pop.........it better be........no way no how am I EVER paying that much, and definitely not to gLoomis who won't even honor their "old" expediter policies.

I'm sorry, but I purchased exclusively from gLoomis for years, but the changes to their return policy priced them out of my range. If I break or damage a rod that has a lifetime warranty, that is EXACTLY what it means ........Lifetime. NOT lifetime with a $100.00 charge.

They sure do feel good though .

I broke two GLX rods last year on the account of me being a bonehead and had them replaced for only shipping charges ($45 total shipping)....

I guess it depends on who you get......I've been told without a receipt NO GO......

I will have to look into that, because I have 2 gLoomis rods that I don't want to pay their prices for.

Did you simply ship them back to gLoomis using the standard warranty process on their website? And did you have to provide proof of purchase?

Why not just register the rod online when you buy it? That should take the receipt out of the picture.

I just take my rod to Backwater Outfitters in Lexington and they ship it back for me no questions asked! when they get the new rod back from Loomis they give you a call and its $45 shipping per rod....ends up being $22.50 shipping each way.
