It's true, Shimano basically took over G. Loomis. I like to call my rod a G. Mano haha

Just getting out and learning water, fish behavior etc... helps a lot. every year i fish the same water, but catch way more because i learn so much more about the fish in that area. Last winter i landed 78 steelhead, this winter i landed 186, fishing the same amount and same areas

Slayer, ive contemplated getting that rod for years, but ive had my G-series medium that has lasted 3 years and it wont break, so i havent had the need yet, although shes getting pretty worn out, but now i got the fetha so probably no new steelhead rod this winter.
nomatter how you look at it i give you mad props for busting 186 steelhats recently. youve posted most of them as proof. hats off to yo freak yo got my respect one of those rare 10% next to cockman and nate t and a few others . its rare to see these days. some will say its bragging ,but they could hate all they want cuz like nate t said .''if yo done it it aint braggin''.. =D>

There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
