Went for a ride this afternoon and ended up at my new favorite tackle shop.....and wouldn't you know it.....the baitmonkey pulled up at the same time I did. He convinced me to buy a couple of rods, and the good thing is, the wife was with me when all this happened.
Holy hog balls, that's a pretty table.
Someone cluttered it up with a bunch of Loomisesssss.
;D ;D This is funny cause just last week you said you bought your 1st one in a long time right? Awesome rods man, I need a job :-[
Now you'll be able to join in with the Loomis gang and talk about how great that $50, no questions asked lifetime warranty is when one of the rods breaks in the near future. ;D
How sweet it is
BBOOOOOOOYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
4 GLXs & Bronze all at once. WOW!!
I thought I was the only one who did crazy stuff like that. Man OH Man!!!
Have Fun!
Ronnie
That's the way to do it. It's just like pulling off a band-aid. Do it all at once!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D WOO-HOO! ;D ;D ;D ;D
8-)
My wife would kill lol.
Must make a good buck to be able to do that.
That's the way, uhuh uhuh I like it, uhuh uhuh...

Now that's some funny stuff, right there.
Need someone riding shotgun next time?
And here I was thinking that not getting out of Bass Pro for less than $100 is bad...
What's that, around $1400 in sticks?
I'd love to see the next picture of the 5 reels you buy all at one time for those

It might be a couple of months on the reels, I gotta give my wallet time to recover.

No thanks. I've got plenty of smoooooth reels already.
I thought it was against the law to put anything but Shimano reels on Loomis rods. ;D

Well then, I broke the law 5 times last night.
Hey 5bass, I want to hear some feedback soon on those GLX's. Mainly how they compare to the Heliums. You have both now and I trust your judgement. I want to make sure I'm not missing out on something. And for those of you that want to turn this into a Kistler vs. G-Loomis thread, PLEASE REFRAIN!!! I'm just interested in the GLX's that's all.
I'm interested too. I'd like to hear if you think the new rods are "worth" that much more than what you've been using.
If I came home from the tackle shop with what you came home with, I'd still be unconscious.
Cheers,
GK
WOW.......
That was quite a shopping spree. Enjoy the rods.......
Which models did you get? And what do you plan to put on them?
QuoteWhich models did you get? And what do you plan to put on them?
BSR852 (Pflueger Supreme 8035MG)
MBR782C (Revo STX)
BCR874 (x2) (Revo STX x2)
SMR752S-SP (Pflueger Supreme 8035MG)
Both of the spinning rods feel awesome with the Supreme's on them. The casting rods balance well with the STX's on them but neither spinning or casting are as light as my Heliums. Not much difference, but the difference is there.
I am not a fan of having foregrip cork again....I do know that much. Will probably fish them tomorrow.

I too, will be anxious to hear a comparison review. Start a new thread so I don't miss it.
Thanks!

Great selection of rods. I too have the SMR752S-SP. It is a fun rod to fish. I find it works best on deep soft plastic and deep cranks. It has one of the most powerful hooksets of any spinning rod I have ever used. Let us know what you think of it. As far as I know, you are the only other person I have heard of that owns this rod.
sweet.... money well spent ;D
My God...now that my friends is the American dream, however I am required by my official BassResource.com Shimano Posse membership to make a witty comment about how them dang floogers n garcia's is the devil...
But because of your great contributions to the baitmonkey I will let it slide this time, the baitmonkey salutes you
wow thats awsome
