Does anyone know when Shimano bought Loomis?

I believe it's been a few years.

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.
