Default Re: Awesome rod builder

Scott - Shimano bought Loomis a few years ago and has changed their path ever since. Used to be that the custom rod builders and and rod building supply shops could work with you on prices for those blanks and you could get something good done. Sadly, Shimano pushes a LOT of price fixing and they've pushed that policy down to Loomis too. Now it's only a LOT harder to get Loomis blanks to build how you want but they are more expensive too and very few deals to be had...

I hate when that happens...
