The people at Loomis need to pull thier heads out of here a$$'s. I took in a broken 1143 GL3 to buy a new tip section. They said they didnt sell the GL3 Blanks in balck anymore. The Factory rods in GL3 are still black but the blanks they sell are Mahogony. They told me I would have to buy a whole new blank. Well needless to say that pi$$ed me off a little. I said "I want to buy a black tip, You still make that blank in black. So Whats the problem?" They didnt have a good answer. They finally said they would try to find me a tip. Thats been over a week ago and they still havent done anything about it. I will let you all know how it turns out.
In the last few months I have taken in 3 different rods. One with a loose reel seat. and 2 broken rods. The servise I have recieved on all 3 occasions was less than desirable.
