Valvodinho Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I've been wanting to get into swimbait fishing recently and conveniently enough at my local shop a guy brought in 2 used swimbait rods that he's selling super cheap due to downsizing his arsenal. The two rods are: Dobyns Champion XP Swimabit Rod 8'0" Heavy (806) G Loomis Swimbait Rod 7'10-11" my hesitancy with the G Loomis is there was no model name or anything of that nature on the rod other than "G Loomis Swimbait" so it's hard for me to do any digging on the true value of the rod. It is a purple-ish maroon color if that helps anybody identify it. Both of these rods are being sold for $120 a piece which is an absolute steal and I've bought from this guy before so I know he's got legit stuff Help me choose!

softwateronly Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 To me they’re both worth that price. If I was to only get one it would be the Loomis. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishin Dad Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I would grab them both as well. Try them both and decide which one you like best and sell the other one. You will easily get your money back. Or keep both and feel really lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted March 15 Super User Share Posted March 15 What a steal, congrats. I'd keep them both, swimbaits are super addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Hammer 4 Posted March 16 Super User Share Posted March 16 Can't comment on the G Loomis rod, but I can tell you that the 806 is a great rod. I had an 806 from 2009, and I could bomb 6 or 8" Hudds with ease, reel was a Shimano 301 E7. Hopefully the newer 806's are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
