I'd like to take this moment to go on Public Record so that I can take back every and any comment I ever said about how only a "moron" would spend all that extra money on any spinning rod higher than a Loomis GL2.

Dang. Looks like I'll be joining that "moron" club soon.

The difference between the 1082 GL2 and the IMX 1082 was like coparing night and day, and apples to oranges.

Any one want to buy a matching pair of 1082 GL2's? $150 for the pair!
