New rod!

[DJD]

G. Loomis........PERIOD, end of STORY........

I've used shimano.........CRAP.........

I've used BPS EXTREME......outside of the finess rod, they are also CRAP.......

I've used Castaway......OK......better than CRAP, but not a Loomis.......

I still use a couple All Star rods........MX-10's I think but might be wrong. They are the SECOND best rods I've used.....

THE BEST.......PERIOD, END of STORY are Loomis.......I have IMX, GL3's, GLX's, and have use the Bronseback rods.........

Now, don't get me wrong, they are EXPENSIVE, but the warranty is the BEST in the business, and I've used it on 10 year old rods, with no questions.

I am a huge Loomis fan as well but I have started to look at other rods such as Shimano and H & H. Heck i have many of the GLX, IMX and others but I am thinking that others are catching up on the quality without the cost. JMO

As a custom rod builder I would reccomend Rogue. I have built on Loomis, All-Star, St. Croix, Shikari(Best ever) but they are out of business now. Rogue is as good if not better than Loomis. Loomis is a good rod, but their price don't match what you get in return. Find a custom builder in your area and tell him exactly what you want and request the Rogue blank. You will be very pleasantly surprised at your finished product and it will out perform any Loomis.

You all can have all that CRAP stuff, the best bang for the buck is the BPS Pro Qualifier. If anyone is interested I do have a few 7ft med. for sale or trade, they are a year or so old.
