You will pay at least $150.00 for any good rod on the market. If you try a Loomis rod I think you will buy more, I know I did, and a lot of my friends did too
I agree Loomis are worth the money but I think the replacement plan with the Cumaras tilts me towards buying them for now. Its a nice piece of mind when you are flippin with 50 or 80lb braid. If you haul off and snap a rod you can have a new by the end of the dayand it won't cost you $50 dollars. That is the only advantage I see in buying a Cumara over a Loomis. They are both the top of the line rods in my book.
