Who has tried it?

Ah! G.Loomis rods. Yes I already have one for Fly-fishing, among other brands (e.g. Sage, etc.).

Was so surprised at how easy that light yellow plug can be casted.

Going to try casting some weighted flies (e.g. Bugs, steeamers).

Buying my ticket at next OFS mtg.

Wow what feeling. Can't wait to have my first bite and hoocked fish on the set-up. Placed some 5 yards 25lb backing on the reel spool, tied the 30lb braided line to the mono, then when the spool was 99.99% full, tied 2yards of 30lb Flurocarbone on to the braided line, and finished with a yellow thro...

I was well into my 20's but it was worth the wait

Are you guys referring to a birdsnest/backlash issue?

Went to PaddleTale this morning and Ed met my need with the following: G.Loomis E6X Classic Mag Bass 783C MBR 6'6" (one piece) Med-Heavy Fast 10-17 lb 1/4-3/4 oz He even gave me a demonstration and try of a pre-set store Baitcasting reel. He makes casting so easy. As for me, well I really need ...

Well I'm going to go and see Ed and be educated on the rods he holds I'm his store for future consideration. I glance at his web site and notice the three brands. Mostly one piece and a few two pieces. I still had a weakness for a Travel Rod even knowing you loose sensitivity due to the ferrule sect...

Now what do you guys think of this fishing one.

Look how brave the guy is and how he cares about his wife or girlfriend.

Can make the G2G, cause one of our colleague I retiring and we have a 5to7 dinner farewell.

Maybe another Thursday.

Much appreciated guys for the advice. Going to have to ponder with birthday approaching mid-April.

Been reading a lot about types of baitcasting rods. Want good quality. Guess the best is a one piece, but that wouldn't be practical for me if I'm looking into a 7' Rod. What I would fancy would be a Travel rod (3-4 pieces), maybe telescopic. My understanding is that these later have come a long way...

Don't know if I'm breaking any Forum rules here, just wanted to share this clip link of a 3 year old boy ice fishing and catching his first lake trout by himself. Priceless.

May just go down and visit Ed.

Thanks guys.

Appreciate the offer. Haven't looked at the garage addict rods, but thinking I may just buy a new one. I've been looking at various make and brands, and even the travel rods (3-4-5 pieces). Difficult toake a choice. Maybe I should go various local stores and "sniff around". One of the trav...

Thanks guys.
