Goober, You fish 4+ times a week and limit everytime?? Whats the limit, 2 steel? 4salmon? Thats puts you in the 8-24 fish weeks(4days)...Not to much different than some weekend warriors. eek

Seriously, im not degrading the fact that your Rainshadow cant hold up...Time, fish, and snags will tell... Loomis has proven almost bulletproof from what i have used and from some of the fish junkies that i know that catch insane numbers of steelhead/salmon...

I guess i am just biased... its like chevy(loomis) v.s Ford(lami) and then there's Dodge and Toyota(allstar/rainshadow) blah blah blah...everyone has there own preference
