I don't get these guys, I see them everywhere. If I'm at a lake, some dudes wearing a Loomis hat fishing 2 different Abu rods, Go into a sports shop, some dudes wearing a Loomis hat looking at dobyns or lamaglas rods. I see a truck with a huge Loomis logo on it and the guy pulls out shakesphere or okuma combos...
Roughly I see more people sporting Loomis apparel then actually using something from them to fish. Am I missing something? Is it to make them look cooler than everyone else?

Not many people know that their logo is a Loomis logo, they just like it. Why do you care what someone else wheres? Its not like being part of a country club or something and you can only where those if you own one.

So what you are saying is that I shouldn't wear my Mercury shirt when fishing from my kayak.

Guess I cant wear my OU hat/shirt any longer I never played football there. Thing is I was fishing today with my new JM Carbonlite reel Smoke rod while wearing a Team St Croix t-shirt. What people wouldnt know is at home I have 4 St Croix rods.
I do "see" though where you're coming from once you take notice of something like that it sticks out. Like when you buy a blue whatever truck you take notice of all the other blue whatever trucks.

You guys are missing the point, there's never a Loomis rod around them. At least you guys own the product or went to a school. If theses guys are so big into the product don't ya think you actually see them using one at least one time, cause I don't and I run into them a lotGuess I cant wear my OU hat/shirt any longer I never played football there.

It's a bit funny since the Loomis stereotype only uses Loomis rods and looks at everything else as severely below them, then see the exact opposite when your out on the water

I don't own any Loomis rods. I have used many of them, and at the IMX/GLX/NRX levels they are fine rods; they just don't fit my budget. With that said, I would wear the hat, t-shirt, or affix a Loomis sticker without giving it a second thought. I would wear a Porsche or Maserati hat or t-shirt if I had one, and I ain't likely to ever even drive one of those...if that makes me a poser then so be it. FWIW I fish with several guys who fish a variety of great tackle including Loomis rods, and not one of them look down on my BPS gear. We catch fish and have a great time doing it. Buy what you can afford; wear what you want; life is too short to worry about the little stuff...

My dad has Loomis hats, t-shirts, and all kinds of stickers he bought. Why? He thought the fish skeleton thing was really cool. He didn't know it was Loomis, atleast until I told him.
Im sure alot of other average anglers are the same way. Not everybody is fishing junky like us and knows every cool logo in the fishing industry, and knows about our posses.

The real question is what is more overpriced their shirts or their rods?
