I'm still waiting to hear the answer if the loomis expeditor service applies to these rods? $100 fee? Can it be used more than once?

I like Loom is rods in general but think there are some models that are better than others. The STR1084 in IMX is special sauce and the STR1025 is a badass workhorse. That said, it is hard to not see nearly all manufacturers' high-end rods as being drastically overpriced.
