[QUOTE="Wall-eyes, post: 388085, member: 1902"] Way back when Gary Loomis started building rods, I meet him and set up a deal to purchase rods with sponsorship deal and have a lot of them. He did sell out around 1997 to Shimano. They still use Loomis blanks and still made in the Woodland factory in Washington and some of his higher end stuff they use that Gary was just developing when he sold out. I love them all. Gary did try to start another company and got sued not sure what is going on now. As far as jigging and bottom bouncer rod buy two. The bottom bouncers we use now days can get big like 2 to 5 oz's that is problem. She will lose the feel if jigging lighter jigs too. She is worth it you know that. When my wife fishes with me she is equal and if not at times better. A good rod is 75% of fishing. With two rods you can fish anyway possible too. Don't need no more rods for momma. . Get IMX or GCF 6' to 6'6"for jigging and rigging or NRX if got few extra 100's in wallet and GL2 or GL3 for bouncing or GLX if got few extra dollars to spend lenght 7' can go less or more in length.
