What's everybody catchin'?
Can't wait to get them. I will do a review on them when I take them to the lake.

Are these pricey rods and reels?
This will be my first Loomis. I found out after purchasing that Loomis was bought out by Shimano.
Hopefully they kept the quality.
239 for the rod and 219 for the reel. I love ultralight fishing tackle though and I have burnt through some cheaper rods and reels on some decent sized bass. Nothing like catching a 5 pound bass on 4 lb test and on a rod designed for small trout.
Do a search for
G.Loomis TSR790S1 and look what site pops up at the top of the page now or near the top.
This is almost word for word what my Granddad always said. He loved fishing.
Right on. Rods and reels are like guns. You want the best you can afford.We had an older guy at the office that loved fishing- he swore by Loomis rods.
I'm interested to read what you think once you get to use them. I still use an old Zebco 33, so my opinion doesn't count
Back when I use to fish with heavy tackle I had a few of those. They took all of the fight out of the fish though and ruined the experience of fishing.
