i'm not sure about the "overhyped garbage" thing. you don't see nearly as many guys decked out in lamiglas apparrel with stickers on their $50k trucks like you do with loomis guys. and most of the time it's the loomis guy bashing lamiglas. guess they have to make themselves feel better for paying twice as much for their setup as the guy that just outfished them

i don't have any harsh feelings toward loomis rods, they are nice, but i can't justify paying that extra $100-200 for a rod that won't serve me any differently. hell, the rods used to be nearly the same, gary worked for lamiglas once upon a time.

really wish lamiglas would bring back the cork body reel seats that they once used, the kind that loomis IMX rods still have...
