I truly appreciated all of the educated insight into the topic of Loomis Factory made rods.

What I am still gathering is that no one has really had any, hands on "live" experience with the new 1161s, while on the river. I am still more than curious as if this new rod is merely a product put out by a string of marketing geniuses or actually a product worthy of purchasing.

I am aware that there are other rods out there, Lami, RS, custom made...etc, but I was merely curious about this 1161 v 1141.

Keep all the insight coming!!!!
