I talked with the chick who came out while I was at the loomis plant about the eyelets falling out. I reasoned I could go across 1-5 to anglers workshop and put some quality eyes on myself. she replied with a snear that if I did that "it would void the rod's warranty".... cue in dead pan stare now!.... I said why cant quality eyes be put on originally? she just stared back....

that's when I decided the high $$$ cash for rods don't equate out to high quality.

been buying Rainshadow blanks ever since and putting quality onto the blank myself.

A.A. has figured out.
