Well, I can finally say that I own a G Loomis rod, and the best thing about it is that I won (or probably selected for) it.

It is a custom rod that was built on a GL2 blank and given to me by a most generous benefactor at another forum.  I am very grateful and was told that that the win was not necessarily random.  I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I think it might have been partly due to the stories and reports I've posted in 2007.

I cannot wait to give this rod a try.  I was also given the choice of spinning or casting.  I chose the latter. I realize GL2 is not GLX but, who would I be to look a gift horse in the eyes and say no?

Sorry, I just couldn't contain the joy and had to share it with all of you.  I'll try to post a pic when I get the chance.

;D ;D ;D

Congratulations!

Island Bass,

When I got my first Loomis I took it home and ran my hands and fingers all over it and looked over like a nurse looks over a newborn.

I still look at it every now and then, along with my Kistler.

I know how you feel.

And it is a GOOD feeling.

Enjoy!!!!

Congrats......

The only problem with getting your first Loomis is trying to figure out when you'll get your next one.

Congrats on the new Stick! Have fun!

Congratulations. Like you, my first G.Loomis was a GL2. It's a 6' MH casting rod that I absolutely love. GL2 was their first proprietary blank and still one of their best. I agree with the others though, once you get one, you start figuring out how to get more.

Enjoy and Good Fishin
