I think these are going to be good. Now the nay sayers,....well, that's another story. Some won't like them no matter how great they are. That said, "IF" I buy one, it will be a spinning rod for my new Stradic. I just simply do "NOT" need any more rods. Hootie

You mention this line quite often. I think I am going to try a spool. Hootie

Now, that's the "REEL" answer. Hootie

I caught that....lol. I was school champion two years in a row. Of course, way back then, there weren't that many words. Reely! Hootie

Thanks guys, you answered my question. I knew you would. Gotta love this forum. Hootie

I think that may be, because we have gotten used to the idea, that for a Loomis to be a good rod, it has to cost $400 to $500. Maybe this will change all that. I for one, sure hope so. Hootie

These came with my new Stradic, and I cannot figure out what they are for. Says instructions are included in the manual, but I find no mention of them. Hootie

Funny how mono is just plain wrong, and Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston and countless others built careers using the stuff. Hootie

We are all joking here,....right? Hootie

Ironic, I have a pile of Loomis rods, and a BPS Cranking Stick. Hootie

Sure nuff, cause they can't put it on the internet if it isn't true. Hootie

That's "Rule #1", forgetting something gives you a built in excuse to go back. I've been using that one for years....lol. Love shopping for more stuff. Hootie

Just find someone who don't like you and you'll get rid of it faster...lol. Hootie

I bet you're right. And with a big price drop, people will be grabbing them up like G series Curados when their prices dropped. Hootie

Not offended at all Mike. Just kidding. I surely do know what you guys are talking about. We have had our share of bull crappers on the floor at the Cincinnati store. Problem is that it makes the rest of us have to share his reputation. On a high note, I did have many customers who would come in and ask for me. Now that's a great feeling. Hootie

Why, I've never been so insulted in my life!!!....lol. We are not all the same guys. Having been on the other side of the counter, I have had some customers that I wish would have stayed home. Like the "BOZO" standing in front of you spitting tobacco juice into a pop bottle while I try to keep from throwing up. GO HOME!!! Hootie

Yeah, you don't want to get banned from the forum right off the bat...lol. Hootie

Hey coak, I was out there for a couple hours yesterday. The rod you bought is nice. I have the SBR 752. You should probably be glad I wasn't there. I could have talked you into spending more money. I was the best salesperson in the fishing dept...lol. Hootie

Same here, just depends on what I want, when I'm wanting. Hootie

You got that right farmer. When you go to trade up, and you get 50% to 60% of what you paid? That's not investing, that's spending. Hootie

Actually, you are reading my mind. I don't do a lot of fishing with spinning gear. I didn't want to go overboard until I see if I want to pursue it further. Given that, I might look into one of those G Loomis E6X's. Plan on using it for wacky rigs, shaky head, and small jigs and tubes. Hootie

The PQ will continue. It's just just being manufactured by a different company. Not sure if it will undergo any changes. Hootie

Decided to add a spinning rig to the arsenal this year. St Croix Premier C'mon springtime! Hootie

Went yesterday, picked up some plastics and hooks and line. The lines were so backed up at the restrooms, I didn't get a chance at the crap. Hootie

At BPS right now. On sale until the 15th. Hootie
