OK..........I'm a HUGE Loomis fan..............GLX, IMX, bronzeback, shakeyhead rods, etc, etc........I have 6........

I went to BPS today to do an item for item comparison.......you know what, my next two casting rods, will be Cumara rods............all I can say is WOW.....they are pretty good. I matched Shimano Curado reels on a Cumara an IMX, and a GLX of comparable size/weight. The Cumara matched up well with the GLX, but the GLX is 150 more.....the IMX and CUMARA were really close, practically even, so I think the Cumara with an over the counter replacement warranty seems better.

I still need to purchase a couple and do an on water comparison.......hopefully that will happen soon.

Later,
