I am pretty sure they are the same rods. Its rare that pros use a higher end production model. When Boyd Duckett found out Carrot stix were not the ones he was using he quit.Originally Posted by SuperSprint007
A big part of what you pay for with a high dollar rod and reel is weight. Heavier rods and reels materials are cheaper and easier to build. Skeets rods are heavy but he doesnt mind for years he used the Lamiglass rods and he has always used alot of fiberglass rods that are heavier and have are very parabolic bend, thats his preference. Loomis rods are weightless compared to Skeets rods so its a matter of how important a lighter rod is to you. I have heard some guys say they dont like Skeets rods and its because they are heavier. I could care less about the weight I like the over the counter life time warranty with Loomis and Shimano.
