I've bought two Loomis rods from TH Custom Rods (contact made through this bulletin board)this year. I am a happy customer. The rods fish as well as my other Loomis store-boughts, have identical guides, wraps, handles, finishes, etc and come with the same Loomis guarantee (on the blank -- not the entire rod). The prices are usually about 25% less than list, and if Travis doesn't have the blank in stock he can order it for you. I view it as buying four Loomis's (eventually, I hope!)for the price of three.

[Cabela's rods are certainly value-for-money and I fish several, but they're not Loomis quality.]
