I see everyone in here has listed Loomis or Lamiglas rods. I pesonally own about 20 loomis rods, but most of them now stay in the rod rack because I have started using Allstar Rods, they have the same numbering system as Loomis, they use the same modulus graphite as in Loomis GL-3's, they have a lifetime warranty, are made in the U.S.A, and the engineer who designed them use to be Gary Loomis's partner. Every where else in the country they are one of the most popular rods out there, but they are just now coming into the northwest. The most attractive thing about the allstar's is there price. You can buy a 1024, 1025, or a 1083 for right around 110.00 to 120.00 retail. you can get the 1262's or 1263's ( my favorite) for right around 140.00. Not a bad deal considering the quality of rod you are getting. just thought I would share the info. Also they are availible at Ted's in Lynnwood.
