Hey Fish & Rain,
I'm a new G-Loomis Blank dealer & builder in W. Wash and can help you guys out in your decision. All rods are built to factory standards with the exception is that I build them with Fuji SIC guides, much better guides according to a factory Rep. I'm in the Tac. Puy. area Email and I can give you a # to get in touch with.
