[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 388059, member: 217"] Johnr if you looking to pay for something special like a g Loomis rod, how you talk highly about your better half, I would go the custom tuned option. I can guarantee that once you get your wife a custom tuned rod for her you are going to want one for yourself. Shimano who own g Loomis still uses the same high quality blanks that Gary Loomis used on his high end rods but what is lacking with the new Loomis rods is the craftsmanship of those rods. The Loomis rods are mass produced now with the same high quality blanks, wraps, handles, and guides but are not always built with the guides wrapped on the spine compared to the Loomis rods of the past where every rod was hand built by specialized builders. [USER=753]@Tikka280ai[/USER] made custom rods and I'm sure if he still does he would be happy to make a rod that's built with the same craftsmanship as how Loomis used to make them from years past. Go custom johnr she will absolutely love it [/QUOTE]
