G Loomis rod weights
 

Ive been searching for a place that has how much each rod weighs but so
far not much luck. I tried the G loomis site, none posted.

Any of you know a place thats lists the weight of G Loomis rods?

Just adding this finding in
I found one review of a GLX 6'8" MH xF 12-16# line @ 4.3oz
This though isnt all that light when looking at other brands i.e. St
Croix.
I have St Croix catalog I couldnt find an exact match between them so
just used line wt to match-up.
and an Avid 6'8" M XF 8-14# @ 4.2oz
& Avid 7' M F 10-17# line @4.4oz
And these cost much less so what am I missing.

Hi Ray,

There are those that will argue that the Loomis blanks are superior to the
St. Croix Avid series of rods. This is strictly my opinion, but I believe
that at one time, Loomis blanks were superior, but they've been caught (or
surpassed) by other rod manufacturers and to a certain extent, you're paying
for the name.

I'm very familiar with both of the Avid rods, and they're quite nice,
especially for the price.

Which one is right for you? It depends upon which action and length you
prefer.

Also the St Croix (in my opinion) more accurately label the speed and power
of their rods.

Im actually wanting a 9' rod. Im wanting to replace a Wally Marshal 9'
"pro series" crappie rod, that I basically use all the time, with what
I'll call a high-end rod. One that is lighter better balanced and
hopefully more sensitive.

This is why Im looking for Loomis weight listings to compare.

I fish from the bank and lots of bushes to reach over at the good spots
the length really helps. Plus the bass, catfish mostly stay under 20"
most around 15" and its real fun using the light set-up.

I see St Croix has Salmon/Steelhead Rods in the length Im looking at
anyone have experience with those. Do these types of rods have/need to
be really sensitive?
