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.
