I too, love my STR 1084 C IMX rod, although I have to break in my new one, since thoroughly destroying it on the Toutle this fall. What was a two piece ended up a four piece pack rod. Loomis replaced that rod, but the thing that I noticed was that the original had a wood inset on the trigger and the new one has cork instead. I used this rod in Alaska last year and fought many brute steelhead and was suprized when this rod blew, it is a great feeling rod though.
By the way, are any of you fellow Piscatorial fishers, the guy who was standing next to me when he blew his 10 ft loomis? I was the guy who switched to the Lamiglas certified pro on the return trip from my truck and fished next to you several times....you die-hard!
