Who has the best prices and delivery on G. Loomis blanks and kits. Looking for a Mossy Back and a spinner bait rods. Thanks!

Mudhole carries G.Loomis.  It is not often that you hear of people talking about Loomis blanks and I am assuming rod building kits in the same sentence.

I've been told that Loomis stuff is protected by a pricing agreement so you can't usually find a sale (at least not an authorized one).  Occasionally I'll see a free shipping offer but that's about it.  Here are 3 places to look...  there are others but these 3 are known to me.

I forgot about Custom Tackle.  I bought my RX8 blank from Bob and met him in person at the rod builders expo.  I HIGHLY recommend Custom Tackle.

Thanks everyone. I will check them out and order Monday.

How much money do you save by building it yourself?

I realize however that its not all about savings.  Pride in workmanship.

Any savings depends...  on whether or not you count your time and if you can buy at wholesale.  I've found that you generally spend about the same but are able to upgade components and do more.  for example, for the retail price of a Loomis IMX, I can build a much nicer rod and use titaium SiC guides and exotic burl cork, etc and have a little money left over.  Not to mention it's spiral wrapped and built exactly how I want it.

Loomis, St. Croix and some other big names blanks are marked at a high retail price so savings is usually small...  but if you use some other blanks, you can build some great rods for a big savings.

I believe Jann's has G loomis also.
