I am looking at getting a GL3 1263 (10.5') tied up for a bobber rod. I am thinking of setting it up to be used with a spinning reel. Any info or opinions from folks who have bobber fished would be greatly appreciated. In addition as a bit of info to folks I heard that Loomis will no longer be selling blanks in the near future. So if you were going to get that custom Loomis rod done, you may want to get on it. I have a friend of mine who is able to order them still at a good price, so if you want some E mail me and I'll get you in touch. I'm not sure when this new policy takes effect.
