I really have to agree with goforchrome. I have fished with the Norwest Special, Intrepid, Loomis GL-2 and the Berkley IM-7. For the money, you can not beat the IM-7. I also broke my Lamiglas Norwest Special and they would not replace or fix it unless I gave them $24 dollars and another $15 or so for shipping. I decided to pay an extra $20 and buy a brand new Berkley IM-7. I have heard that Bi-mart replaces broken IM-7 for free if you take them back. I have not broken mine, but I have heard this on more than 1 occassion.
