G. Loomis & St. Croix

Got an attendance bonus :-)

Would a Loomis GL2 7' M rod compare to a St. Croix Avid 7' M rod? One
much better than the other? Which one would you pick? Both same price.

I would never buy another Loomis rod again! Over priced and over hyped.
This company needs a major rethink on its business plan! They do have a neet
logo though, I'll give them that, JMHO.
St. Croix is just as good if not a better stick $4$ and the warrantee is
miles better on the St. Croix. You wouldn't regret either of these rods 'til
you have to do some warranty issue with them.

My ABA partner, Hammer, has several G-Loomis rods, and he likes them, but I
just can't stomach the price. I have a St Croix flippin' rod that I really
like.

St. Croix hands down!

I feel the Loomis rods have a tip that is just to soft or fast I bought 1
Loomis and sold it weeks later I own 17 St. Croix rods and love every one of
them and plan to buy more. I have Pro Glass, premiers, Avids, and Legend
Elites for the money you can't beat them

Guess I'm the dissenter here. I've got a Loomis 7' medium fast action
spinning rod I use with a Stella 1000 and I love it.

I just got a new Kistler 7' Helium medium action for my baitcaster, but I
haven't had a chance yet to try it out. It sure feels lighter than the IMX
rod though.

G.Loomis makes the best production rods you can buy! While St. Croix makes
one hellva spinning rod, their casting and trigger rods cannot compete. As
to their warranty, I have NEVER had a problem getting a new rod, and trust
me when I tell you I am hard on rods and have broken them doing some dumb
things. Simply take your rod to the store you bought it at, and let them
return it. Makes all the difference in the world!!!

Right here is where the difference in the two rods is. The Loomis GL2
has a Moderate Fast action, a little bit more wiggle to it than the Avid
a Fast action rod.

So which action is better for using rubber worms, senko, throwing
distance, sensitivity?
