Anyone compared these rods as they seem good allrounders and anyone know who stocks the Loomis

Pricey....

Not cast any of them, but from casting other Helios rods, it would be well worth a look.

Got the Loomis but in a 3wt from a shop in the States. Bought it as a back up because every season i seem to split a section or bust the tip on my Scott S4 10ft S4 (and Scott don't rush their repairs!).

It is a nice rod although not as balanced in hand as the Scott but that is just personal preference. Wish i had bought another S4 but thought i would give Loomis a go as that is what i use on the res.
