Unlce Joe gave me the "demo" Allstar Titanium 1025c yesterday and I put it to the to test on a bunch of bright Queets tidewater coho and kings.

It's a nice rod. Much nicer than the Elites.

BUT....

I have no idea if and when they are shipping and how much they would cost.

The Titaniums have the high end SciTic guides, exposed reel seats, and is very well made. The blank isn't as light as an IMX 1025, but probably closer to the GL3 1025.

But, if the price is lower over the Loomis, the Allstar Titanium has much better/nicer components and is a well made rod.

If and when they ever come out in to the market, give them a look over a GL3 Loomis.

"The Boy" is due on the 30th of December. "The Boy" *BETTER* not be showing up now! Ugh. If anything, "The Boy" needs to wait until after the Snoopy Rod Classic!
