lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 i love my st croix rods i have 2 legend elites.. 7ft m xf spinning paired with sustain 3000 and 6'6 mh xf with core. also i have the legend tourny 6'3 walleye seiries and an 8'6 l tourny muskey rod with a abu reel. love em all. how do you guys like your loomis'
BillM Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Love my custom 3 piece 13' Loomis IM6 float rod.. Also like my 13'6 GL3 However, I wouldn't trade my Avid baitcaster for anything, absolutely love it... I also love my 8' Shimano Compre muskie stick also, lol
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 the thing about shimano though... there more of a reel companie but i have yet to see them come up to par with their rods... i had a shimano cumara broke and sent it 3 times in 3 weeks(it was spinning). i LOVE my cumara 6'8 baitcaster though. easily comparable to a steez or loomis.

CLofchik Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 ...the thing about shimano though... there more of a reel companie but i have yet to see them come up to par with their rods... Shimano now owns & distributes Loomis. Yes, quality has suffered. Go with St.Croix, though for the money Fenwick HMX's are a heck of a rod.

No complaints on my Compre yet... For the price and the lifetime warranty you can't beat it in my opinion.
bucktail Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 MNy Loomis cranckbait casting and dropshot spinning aremy too fav rods. Have had problems twice with the ferule on 2 St Croixs... they replaced both of them no hassle. My crucials are bullet proof as well. Dont think you can go wrong with either of the three...... Love my Loomis tho

chinookhunter Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 st croix all the way have been using them for years . never let me down and i have caught some huge fish on them.
