I am now going to start a Quantum reel and G.Loomis posse. Anytime a poster asks a question about any rod or reel that does not include Quantum or G.Loomis, I am going to recommend them. I will also insinuate that they are wasting their money if they don't purchase Quantum or G.Loomis, because all other gear is inferior to these.

I dig it.  I don't use Quantum, but I'm down with you sticking up for your brand.  I own 90% Daiwa with a couple of Shimano's thrown in the mix, but it's all opinion.  There are no facts on brand longevity other than anglers own experiences, and some have had great experiences with Quantum or Pfluegur.  

Good luck with that.   :

Ok, so Burley's not known to sugar coat  ;D

Sounds like we are sure to have an all out posse war

It bothers you that much?  You gotta just skip past those threads.

Don't you mean Shimano and Loomis?

Top of the line for reels and rods?

And what about Kistlers? They are excellent.

So maybe your posse should be Zebco and Loomis?

Or Quantum and Ugly Stick?

Just food for thought.

Shimano and G Loomis. All I have ,All I want. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Quantum/Loomis, Quantum/Carrots.  Does it get any better?  Nope! 8-)

The G.Loomis posse has been around for quite a while, you can defile a nice rod with any Quantum reel you want.  

BTW- along with my Shimanos I have (and fish with) at least one Quantum, Pflueger and ABU. I keep them so I can pick on everyone.

I've tried to join the Shimano posse a couple of times.  But I can't seem to keep it going.  I sold my green Curado BSF because it sucked.  I sold my Cardiffs because they wouldn't cast.  I gave away my Spirex because it was too heavy.  And I just sold my Curado 200 DHSVs because they were too big.  

I can't find a Shimano I like as well as my Abus.  

Geez Micro,  did you even fish those Curado's?  Didn't have them long, did you?   They are just too heavy.

The G.Loomis posse is old hat, but a quantum posse??...I don't think so.

I heard that even the sheriff bailed out (jk)

Guys, I am just trying to make a point. I like and have Abu Garcia, Quantum, Daiwa, Shimano, Plueger, Shakespeare, Berkley, Zebco, St.Croix, G.Loomis, BPS, and Browning gear. I am partial to a couple of these brands, but I do not try to shove them down people's throats. I like to try different brands and have been satisfied most of the time. One example is my Shimano Symetre that I love, but if someone asks about a Cardinal or Dimension, I am not going to suggest Symetre. It is so annoying on here to see a question that asks about specific gear that does not include Shimano, and then the posse shows up. They insinuate that if the person doesn't get Shimano, they are wasting their money. One post a little while back asked specifically about Abu Rounds and $80, within 15 minutes, a posse member had posted they should save their money and get a Calcutta. The posse has even suggested the Coriolis(one of the best paperweights that Shimano has even made) over the AG Max series. Now, if someone does not specify, heck yeah, say Shimano all the way. Understand that some people want to be able to purchase 2 good setups for a decent amount of money, not one reel that they may or may not be happy with. I know alot of you did not start out buying Shimano Curados and G.Loomis GLXs. You were just like me and others; you had a Zebco 33 combo, or Lightning Rod and AG 5000. And these served you well until you could afford better gear. The point is that whatever gear someone gets, a least it is getting them on the water and fishing. Which is why we are all here, right?

ABU GARCIA FOR LIFE!  8-)

call me crazy but ive never noticed a posse. half the time i just read the post and dont even notice whos doing the posting half the time.

i whole heartedly agree with what you are saying, i am a loyal shimano user but when someone does keep posting the same thing over and over it does get annoying.

one thing ive noticed is with all the new posters the same question gets asked a lot.

Putting a Quantum reel on a Loomis is kinda like putting a Chevy motor in a Mustang....

It just ain't right... :-X

Nice,  what about a Quantum on the new St. Croix Lengend Tournament (TBC70MHF).  Just bought one about an hour ago....SWEET Rod!!!

yeah, I understand that, but to get performance out of that mustang, what other options do you have. ;D

Wanna put some money behind that statement?  

I might. I just gotta get a Chevy first , just trying to stir the pot to see who bit. Looks like I gotcha. I drive a 90 Volvo 240, that I am plenty happy with, so it might be a few years. I do have a 96 S-10 though.
