hey Bass Bug you ol hound dog...Dave, I use only Loomis but flirted with Scott...still like the idea of Scott also...Loomis has discontinued all the models of the rods I use so if they ever need to be replaced like they always do then maybe I will switch...this is a 10ft 5wt GLX 2 pc...I have developed such a groove for a 10ft rod that I cant break the habit now...I havent used anything else for 15yrs....now I have 8ft 10" 1pc rod to replace 10' 10wt...so many killer small rods like Scott, Winston, T & T etc....for now they will be exclusive for peacocks, LMB and exotics
