Loomis is owned by the Japanese, they use standard prepregs that aerospace uses, in fact Loomis resin is much older technology than what is being used today for airplanes, yes, even their new secrect prepreg.

They are overpriced for what they are, how they are made and what they give you. There is nothing secret about the technology they are using to build their new series, it is all about marketing and Loomis does that very well so does Lamiglas. The original owner of Lamiglas when they started in Kent in the early 70's worked at Boeing and the original rods were cured at Boeing so Lamiglas comes from an aerospace background and even they are overpriced, but as long as they do the marketing and sell rods,, good for them.

When it comes to composite fishing rods, you have to decide what is right for you and if you want to give a bunch of money to a company because you think it is far superior to any other rod out there.
For some applications I have found an Okuma to work and feel just as good as any high priced rod and you can buy 4 Okuma's for the price on one low end Loomis or Lamiglas. Got to decide how much of your money you want going to Japan or someones pocket that is good a marketing.
