Magician that would be great; maybe I will just bid on it myself. No more bitchin' from me I don't have the energy for it. Would just like to tell my good buddy fishhawk that yes I can buy Loomis rods at the discount I mentioned and the only reason I am interested in the used rods is because I like the IM6 blanks better than GL3 and the old ones are discontinued, nothing more. Have a good weekend everyone.
