G-Loomis i have never used one but every time i am in cabelas and i pick one up i know i would. i could not justify spending 200-300 dollars on a fishing pole. currently i have a shimano spinning rod and a bass pro crakin stick for a trolling rod.
I have a custom made G-Loomis from Sanibel Island Fl. It was given to me by my son who was living there at the time. He's now fly fishing in Breckenridge, CO.
It is by far the best rod I have ever used. My son caught a 120 lb tarpon using it as well as many redfish and snook.Same size rod I use for trout in NH. I use it exclusively fishing the Gulf of Mexico when my wife and I visit Sanibel (we have a condo there) and I absolutely love it.
