Hi,
This is my first time post and looking for some feedback.

I am going to purchase a new rod for a Quantum Energy PTI20 spinning reel.
I am looking for some feedback on the G. Loomis GL3 SRJ782 compared to
the new St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass TBS68MXF.

I need to stay in the $200 range and will be fishing mostly plastics
with 8 lb (sometimes 10lb) line and smaller weights.

Any experience with these rods?
Thanks,
Mitch

When you say "the $200 range", you might should consider GL IMX. This
would be much closer to an "apples to apples" comparison of the two brands.
