G. Loomis is leaving G. Loomis

Hopefully, the Loomis quality will continue. I would hate to see Shimano ruin a good line by trying to promote their own brand name. Only time will tell.

Marty, I was in Backwaters and found the perfect Christmas gift for you. Gonna get it and give it to you early. Its a spike-it dipping tray. LMAO!! Hope all is well with you and yours. Went to cumberland yesterday, did okay for the few hours I was able to fish.

they've had it since '97 and they're still pretty good.

He has't been in With Gloomis since 1997 as stated before

He started another rod called Temple fork
sold at bass pro. i think he has had several law suits with Shimano.
Them suing him.
since then he was selling and still selling a rod blank
called North fork.


It looks like to me, he sold to cash out and started another company

Shimano won't do anything but maintain and maybe improve the G. Loomis brand. As an avid angler who's been using Shimano reels for twenty-six years and Loomis rods for the last ten, the quality of either brand has done nothing but improve. Just look at the line of Shimano reels and tell me if you think their quality is suffering.

Actually if you read the article, he was with the comoany until 2008. He sold the company in 1997 and spent eleven years at G.Loomis, Inc. in a promotional capacity and assisting when needed on new rod designs
