I am a Lami fan, but I ain't no fool. The line for RR's G-Loomis starts behind me! For that price, I'll definitely change fan clubs!! wink

My favorite rod is a Rainshadow 1084. I don't own one but have built two. One for my dad and the other for my fishing buddy. Both of these people limited on steelhead the first time they used their rods. I guess I have the magic touch.

GLoomis is tops in my book...

However, if every rod you owned was a GL you would go bankrupt. Other good "filler" rods are Lamiglass, Allstar, and Buzz Ramsey IM7, you can find them at Best Salvage and Wallmart laugh laugh

I guess I would have to give my vote to G. Loomis.

I have 6 Loomis and 5 Lami's in the closet and my all around favorite is my GL3 1025 for just about everything except king fishing, for that I prefer my 9ft Lami LHS. laugh

Lamiglas

When I looked for a 10.5 foot float and hardware rod 3 or 4 years ago, the Lam Cert Pro was the only one I found. Loomis didn't make any that length and called their 9.5 a float and jig rod. Several hundred steelhead later, I feel naked, impotent, and lonely when I fish without my Lamiglas (don't tell my wife). That rod is so productive, I swear I can hear the fish scream in terror when I drive across a bridge with that rod in the back of my truck! Eventually, I even named it Steve so when I want to go fishing and something comes up, I can say "I told Steve I'd take him to the river. I have to go!" When do you know you've gone crazy?

Maybe I'll change my mind at a later date, especially when Allstar introduces some new rods later this summer.

Until that time, it's Loomis.

I love my GL3 1084 and GL3 1143.

I gotta go with Parker, I have 4 Lami's in the stable and the two rods that get the most miles are Loomis 1084 IMX and 1143 GL3.
If it had to be one, it would be the 1143...great drifter, long enough for floats and do moderate duty in the downrigger(oops, was that my out-loud voice about the downrigger?).

Cheap but lucky!
I am currently fishing with an 8-17 on which I have caught a couple Springers and Quinalt Buck that was over 20# (39x24 1/2)

goforchrome, I'm with you the loomis str1143c is a great light down rigger rod, caught lots of summer rums and U.R.B's and coho with them off riggers in the gorge in the summer and fall.My main downrigger rods are Loomis str1265c, they are a little heavyer and a foot longer and we have landed several Up River Brites 55# plus on them. Hey FS, glad I could help. wink

Damn, whats with all the Lami bashing? I wouldnt call "packing a lamisnap" as "being in the dark". IMO they make a pretty good product at a resonable price with an excellent warranty.
I think the rod question is easily solved...If you like it and are confident you will catch fish with it, then buy it...whether its $400 or $100.
One thing I cant argue is you Loomis guys are awful loyal and that speaks volumes.
I denitaley see my first Loomis in the near future. After all one can never own too many rods. cool

RR,
Dont get me wrong, I am in no way getting rid of Lami collection. At least thats not what my intention is. Lamiglas has never done me wrong in any way, shape or form so I will continue to support their product.
Just trying to keep an open mind
