STR1084C GL2, or IMX

Thank you,

Hmmmm.... Don't see any requests for opinions here. Wait, what's this?

And Luis, I'm a loomis guy, not a rod snob, just like you like your xmg50's, I like my loomis rods, only mine don't break like the xmg50's all the time. haha. wink

Thank you,

Drew


Oh he's formed his own opinion.... still no request for an opinion though.

Guess we should just let the guy fish what he wants to fish. As Bantam say's....

Yes it's all personal preference. Considering there's no way to state facts on something that's all opinion based, maybe we should continue to use this thread what it was originally supposed to be. a "wtb" thread. Cuz at this point the only facts given were as follow's: Drew wants a loomis drift rod.

Fish on...

Todd's attempt at a fact was wrong unfortunately. Good try though Todd. Cuz as you can see here: http://www.lamiglas.com/prod_indiv.php?groupid=14 Lamiglas' MSRP on G1000 series rods are not 1/3 the price of a GL2, in fact.... They're more expensive! Let's take the G1313 vs 1025C GL2 for example... Well G. Loomis' MSRP is $235 versus Lamiglas' $290.... Hmm.
