If you have one how has it worked out so far and would you reccomend it. The application would be as the name implies for shakey heads with 8 lb. florocarbon line. Thanks

I own this rod and like it.  It's teamed up with a Daiwa Sol 2500 with 8# P-line Floroclear.  It's good for lures up to about 1/4 oz.  I wouldn't throw anything heavier.  I mostly throw 3/16 oz shakey heads.

Excellent shaky head rod. Loomis usually does a pretty good job with their technique specific rods as far as getting the actions and powers dialed in. I'd buy another one if something happened to mine. I have a Pflueger Supreme 8030MG on it.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.

I think Loomis missed the mark for a shaky-head rod. Their SSR700e (split-shot rod) is actually a better fit. And for a little more$, the GLX-TS650 (Tailspinner) can be used for (dare i say it) all 3 applications...

I like it. I agree with Five Bass Limit. Although I have not actually caught a fish on it yet . I have made it to the water for a short test (water is hard most of the time) with a friend. It is light and sensitive. Now my friend wants it . ;D.  

detroit1 why do you think they missed the mark on this one and why do you prefer the SSR 700E ? So far I've done all my shakeyhead fishing with the BCR 852 (casting) rod with Curado 101D reel with 8# floro, I usually use 3/16 oz or 1/4 shakeyheads. This set-up has actually done well for me, since most people do this technique with a spinning rod I feel compelled to try it that way next season to see what I like better. I can always use my BCR 852 for small jigs if I convert to a spinning rod. Thanks everyone for your feedback so far.

Sorry to misslead you Primus, it was a lame attempt at humor.

Has anyone used the new GLX version?

What ever happened to the standards,sjr's,cr's mbr's by loomis?

Aren't these any good now?I guess when a technique for throwing a bait at a cow chip a rod manufacturer will make a rod for it too!

Can you see it NOW the cow chip special!!! ;D ;D ;D :
