Big Fishy - I think you got some bad info. Seems there is some confusion out there, but here's what my buddy who works at Loomis told me...those rods that have equivalents in the new lineup will go away from the old lineup once existing inventory is gone. The HSR 1021c is an example. Those rods that do NOT have an equivalent in the new lineup will remain in production as part of the classic line. Examples would be 1084c and 1025c. My buddy is in a position there where he has to know this stuff, so I believe his version of this. Besides, why would Loomis discontinue the 1084c or 1025c in IMX - two of their best selling rods!?
