Falcon is not even close.......

Actually, there are not too many rods that compare to an IMX or GLX rod. Now, you can get rods that are close and better than the GL3, but NOTHING, I mean NOTHING is as sensitive or light as a GLX.

With that being said, I don't own GLX rods....They're too much, and I'm too hard on equipment. BUT, I do have 2 buddies with GLX rods, and I own a couple IMX rods, and they are the BEST I've ever used.

Older Castaway, and AllStar rods are pretty good, and the New MX-10 AllStar rods are pretty good, but comparing a Falcon to a Loomis is a JOKE.

Just my opinion, and like Aholes, everyones got one........

You need to compare warranties. I believe Loomis is $20.00 to replace regardless of what happened for the life of the rod. Loomis could be the last rod you will ever buy. I own 6 and wish I had 6 more.

I've expedited 2 loomis rods, and they really don't give a RIP how it was broke. I've IMX, and GL3 rods back......one I broke by snapping off in the rod locker. $215.00 Loomis IMX. They replaced for $50.00 bucks........no questions asked.

And another point......I broke an AllStar this past weekend......Painful, and one of my favorite rods. Their warranty is also pretty good, but only for 5 years. After talking to them today, they need proof of purchase, etc before they will replace.

The Loomis warranty is GREAT, and the rods are the BEST in the industry. Maybe Kistler compares.........but I've not used them yet.

Amen on the Loomis rods. Best I ever used and cant wait to get more. I also used the warranty. Called them on a Monday and had a new rod at the house on Wednesday. Sent the old rod back with no questions asked...and thats for the life of the rod...in the longrun i know it will pay for itself time and time again.
