You may want to check Bullfrog Creek, here in Louisville. They are a G-Loomis dealer and are pretty reasonable on their prices. They are located on Bardstown Road in Buechel.

I was told by the guy at Backwaters in Somerset that the mossyback rods are a glx blank with one extra wrap on the rod. All I can see this doing is adding a little weight but for half the price I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was in the market.

Bass pro in clarksville has them plus you may find something else you need.

I was just in BPS last week and I did not see the Mossyback. All I seen was GLX, IMX and Bronzeback. Where did they have them located?

" They are a G-Loomis dealer and are pretty reasonable on their prices"

Do they discount thier Loomis rods?

Loomis sets the prices. so if there cheaper they are voiding the deal.

i was wrong it was the bronzeback i saw but the guy there said the same thing aout the price,if someone is cutting the price and loomis finds out they will take their rods away he said every model should be the same price everywhere unless someone raised them but that wouldn't make sense i don't think.

Not trying to start anything here but Loomis can only provide suggestions on what they want their retailers to sell their products for..... anything more than that is considered price fixing. Now with that being said, Loomis can decide who they want to sell and I am sure provide incentives or make it difficult on certain retailers but.....for clarification a manufacturer can not tell a retailer how to price their product, legally.

Very True Rangerman. I've even explained that to a couple of dealers when I was trying to buy some new rods.

I have found one retailer who will get around G-Loomis' requirements.... they give gift cards for their store, so in a way you do get a discount, when you consider the free product.

I won't name the retailer in a public forum, so if you want to know, sorry. I won't jeopardize their business.
