G-Loomis

[Paul Waldowski]

Lee,

I think you made the right choice. One thing I know, there customer is second to none and they build a quality rod, exactly the way you want it. Let us know how much you like it when you get out with it

I may have to come over and check it out Lee ? Sounds like a heck of a deal.

Not that it matters for the discussion at hand but I do believe Shimano bought Loomis. The guys at Thorne Brothers mentioned that they thought the quality of the Shimano products improved after the purchase.

I've got 2 IMX's in a spinning. One 6' & one 6'6". I won't go fishing without them. I got mine for 70% off when I worked for Holiday Sports. We went to a G Loomis seminar & they gave us a certificate to send in for them.

Hey Hoggs. I also worked for Holiday Sports and went to the same seminars and got the same deal! I worked at the Plymouth store before they closed. Which one were you at? I currently have 3. All IMX. 6 ft med., 7 ft med light, and 7 ft med. Best rods I ever owned. Spendy yes. But it's worth it. Even without the 70% off, I would still buy one.

Yeti-

I worked at the Fridley store, until they fired everybody for giving friends the employee discouint.

I have 4 Midwest rods and love them all. Light, sensitive and at a much better price than a lot of store bought rods. If your going to pay the Big $ for a new rod then go custom. Try Bill and Al at Midwest Rods and they will treat you right. I have been very very impressed with the customer service and turn around time. Great guys to deal with. www.midwestrodandreel.com
