G.Loomis

On a Bulletin board I frequent I read a topic about G.loomis' GL2 rods where a man picked them up and they had epoxy oozing over in places where it shouldn't have been and all.
I hope this is not the case with Loomis. They are a great company and I would hate to see the company go to crap from Shimano purchasing it...
I do not have a GL2,,,However I own one of their GL3's and it's a fantastic fast rod. I hope the quality standards do not go down in Loomis.

There was also comments of Loomis' breaking to easily....That to me is Bull! I have had my GL3 for just over a year now and it has taken 6 pound rainbows, 5 pound bass, a 18 pound catfish all without breaking...My buddy has 2 GL3's that he has had for 7 years and he has taken them to montana and landed many big fish with them. He has broken exactly ONE,,,Because of his own fault...
These guys saying they break to easily must have hit the rod with a bead-head a couple times, dropped their rod, whacked the tip, jammed the rod into the ground when they were walking, whacked a tree, or high stick and fight fish wrong, or when they are bringing the fish to hand they put the rod high behind them causing all the pressure to be in the tip and making it snap....Probably other reasons that come to my head that would make them say the break to easily....In my opinion no rod "breaks" to easy...Its what you are doing with it to make it snap, that makes you think it is easy to break.

I could go around and say "Oh yeah I don't fish Sage,,,They break to easy..."
I would obviously be doing something wrong to make them break... I think that is the case with these guys saying they break to easy.

Anyways just opinions and nothing more...
Tight lines!
