Fisherman,

I am a student who is doing a project on the differences in the G.
Loomis ans St Croix fishing lines. If you would just take a minute to
answere my questions, it would be greatly appretiated.

1) How many G. Loomis rods do you own?
***0 although I have built a couple rods for customers on G. Loomis blanks
when specifically requested.

2) How many St Croix rods do you own?
***26 at last count. But I was just at the factory today and got a blank
from their new line of rods, so as soon as I finish that, 27 I guess.

3) Which company do you feel makes the better rods?
***They both make fine rods, but I feel that St. Croix has the edge.

4) Which company gives you the best product for the best price?
***St. Croix without a doubt. One of the things that I don't like about
Loomis is the price for their products.

5) Which company do you feel gives the best promotions?
***I don't care about promotions, I care about quality and value.

6) Is there anything that you would like to tell me about your
experiences with either one of your fishing rods?
***I can fish rods of any brand or quality. Even before I started going to
the St. Croix factory, I was using their products. I looked all over,
trying different brands and made what I feel to be an informed decision.
Once I did tour the factory and saw the care that goes into the constuction
of the blanks, and the level of quality control, I was sold. Besides, I
trust St. Croix, their rods are tested "gator tuff", as Pat and Michael can
attest.
