I own 3 Lami's and 2 G Loomis rods. I have a matching rod from each mfg in this set. Without a doubt the G Loomis is the better rod. Much more sensitivity. In a drift I can feel whether I'm going over a rough rock or smooth rock, where with the Lami it's just going over a rock. Needless to say, for the rod I have a match on, the Lami rarely gets used.
