I purchased about a dozen of the 8'6' heavy LCI rods for the Kenai and 6 of the 9' heavy ones when LCI went out of business and they all were a peice of junk. All broken now. Talon replaced a few of them but they also broke.

Pretty sure it's Loomis Composite Industries

But, the the good side, I also have 4 SSTR865 LCI that I use for plugging for Silvers and Steelhead and they have worked very good. They must be 18 years old and I still use them when I have to plug.fp
