Thread: any GLoomis users

I wont buy new GLoomis rods because I only use St croix rods but a deal is a deal. If the deal was presented to me at a darn good price I'd buy it.

Warranty should be good as far as know. I know St croix doesnt care who sends it in to be repaired...Rebel

Loomis has always been a top name. when I first heard about them, and my brother had a rod made, Loomis was a blank only company. Never heard any bad about em.

Falcon or Powell rods is all i will use, but Falcon done me wrong on some warrenty work, So i have swore them off, I will Be trying St. Croix rods this year, who knows i could find a new favorite, As for loomis i dont own any but have used some and they break to easy, i broke a coulpe of them on hooksets.

Well i could not pass on this deal G loomis GL3 mbr844 for 125.00, new they cost $235.00. this rod is in like new condition w/ lifetime warranty

From what I have heard, Gloomis rods have broken on hook sets. Considering some anglers hook set harder than they should I can see this happening. I also hear E21 carrot stix have had the same problem. This may all be true or not. Havent encountered anyone who can actually confirm these comments of word of mouth.

I stick with St Croix because of the warranty and upgrading offered by St Croix, plus it makes it a heck of a lot easier buying new rods when you stick with one company. Bottom line is confidence and satisfaction with whatever rod you use.

$125 sounds like a great deal. enjoy the new rod. ...Jack

dgi,
You have a heck of a rod there, you will love it. I own many loomis rods and never have had one break.

Same here. Enjoy your Loomis rod.

Ive never broken one using it. I did break one closing a lid on it. The warranty will transfer to you. They sent me a rod overnite and I sent the broken one back in the tube they sent and postage was paid. Ive had great service from them. Billy
