I am looking to upgrade my casting rods and I can't decide between a G.Loomis or a St.Croix . I was also looking at Powell and Kistler but hadn't heard too much about them one way or the other.
What do you guys and gals think?
Thanks,
RdnkJoe

I wish I could help you out on this but I don't own either one of them.  I have heard that the G.Loomis are quite good.  If you decide to get one can you let me know how you like it??

imonembad and shannon own those types of rods.  If you go to this link you will be able to see who has what.

INDUBITABIBABLY!! If I had the money, G Loomis would be the only rod in my boat. St Croix, Falcon, and BPS are the next three faves. I haven't tried Kistler yet, but with what they want for their rods I'll stick with G Loomis, just because it would make a cool rapper name. 8) YOYOYO

Absolutely worth it to me.
I started out with one rod about 5 or 6 years ago and bought three more when I worked some side jobs. My fish catch rate increased at least 50% because I could feel the slightest bumps and tics. I plan to buy more eventually, the heavy one pc. flippin stick is next and then a toad rod. The Shimano reels go great with these rods in my book. St. Croix are good too, but I am biased.
Don't hesitate, SET THE HOOK!

Thanks guys.:usa:
I think I'll be looking at the GL3 or maybe the GLX.

My $0.02. If you are gonna spend the jack up a little more and go as big as you can afford you will not regret it.

I think they are the money, have a whole boat full of Loomis, but then again, just remember you do not need a GLX to throw a buzzbait or frog, so get good rods for Jigs and Worms first

 

[Shannon]

Hellabass is right if you want a worm / jig / flippin rod upgrade to GLX if it is for a toad or other sight / top water baits the GL3 is fine. The GLX gives you a lot more sensitivity.

In my opinion My Loomis's are worth every penny on one hand but on the other I feel like my IMX is just as sensetive or more than my GLX. Knowing that I wouldnt have spent the xtra money for it,but i do love the recoil eyes

As long as someone pays the price for these high end products then they are worth every penny to that person.

Can't afford them, Have fished with them and they are nice, but for me Falcon does just fine.
