I have a 7' GlX and it is amazing it is very light and sensitive. I would definitly buy another.

I am one of the old timers, well I am only 43 but, been fishing with G.Loomis rods for as long as I can remember, early 80's, and I actually prefer the IMX over the GLX. However the last GLX I bought was back when they first came out and a slight whisper would snap the blank in half. I know they have fixed that issue since then, although I still don't think there as strong as IMX rods, but at them prices I have just stuck with IMX or GL3 rods and could not be happier.

With that said, there's probably no way on earth that I am going to be able to stay away from the New Loomis GLX frog rods. Well unless of course there as bad as the old model frog rod or if they put them goofy recoil guides on them. I prefer SIC when it comes to braid fishing and nothing goes better with braid then Mr. Froggy.
