I have to say been a tackle dealer for 10 years

G-loomis is the best rod on the market without Doubt especially the GLX range......sage Tcx and Z-axis wouldn't compare to it..and before you start going mad to post "i have a rod that i got for £40-£50 or €50 or €60...or even 100 or 200 and its a s good as these 600-700 quid rods...lads there not....

and before the purists say that I have a sage and not a g-loomis then doesn't mean you run down g-loomis....ha

what you think

p

I think yer talking pish....

I have to agree on the loomis and Sage is a close second and in some situations I cant pick between them but never a let down whichever I grab on the way out. All the others makes got sold off ages ago
