I am considering getting a new rod. I really wanna go with a rod that I have heard about from others. It is a Loomis Rod. It's a 11'-4" noodle rod and I wanna put a spining real on it. So naturally I have 2 questions

1. can I get it for a spining real and latter on another for bait cast so I have 1 of each.


2. Where is the best place to get a good deal on one. I can order it on the net or go to a walk in store and pay cash. Or is there somebody that will sell their's if it's in good shape? what kinda $$ am I looking at for a new one vs. GOOD used?
