I agree...show some more photos!

Skunked in DR reply :

Nice.

So will they no longer be making the BCR and BSR series in GLX?

SPEEDBEAD. reply :

How much is this one going to be?

Is it the one mentioned earlier this year for around $500?

burleytog reply :

And no mention of guides. Hope they didn't go with Recoils on these.

Skunked in DR reply :

According to poster's on another site its a combination of titatnium Fuji SICs and Recoils.

Lucky Craft Man reply :

Here is a direct quote from Bantam1

"...we use a blend of guides to acheive the correct balance on the rods. The stripper and next 3 guides are Fuji Titanium frame SIC. The rest of the guides are black REC Recoil. We figured out that the noise was eliminated by using these Fuji guides, and the double foot model were actually lighter than the REC. Best of both worlds!"

Indiana Bass1 reply :

450-500 dollars,WOW!! That is totally insane man!

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

Not impressed when comparing the actual aesthetics to the price and using two completely different styles of guides just seems tacky. It may be the most light and sensitive G-Loomis yet but if I buy a rod and pay that much, I have to like the way it looks and to me it looks cheap

You won't know until you see one. I suspect after 17 years

of development, it won't look "cheap". My guess is this line

of rods will set a new standard by which all others will be judged.

Good to see Loomis catching up to everyone else in handle designs, reel seats and such. It's about time.

I may be off on this, but couldn't I get a custom made using that same blank for close to the same amount of cash? :-?

Good luck getting the blank. G.Loomis got out of the blank business.

Big Tom reply :

I guess I am getting confused. So this isn't the North Fork Composites blank that Kistler uses for his Z-Bone customs? How similar do you think this new G-Loomis blank is compared to what Gary is doing with his newer company?

Edit - I guess its more of a timing thing. This thing has been in development for how long? And how long as Loomis had the Northfork company?

Edit 2 - I guess what I am really getting at is...thats a s***ton of dollars for a production rod not from Japan.

Review up on http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast10gloomisnrx.html

burleytog reply :

It's a great looking rod. According to one source, they should be available in mid August.

Already made a spot in the rod locker for a 804, to be followed by a 852.

NorcalBassin reply :

Being that it won best in show at ICAST I doubt that it looks cheap when in hand. That being said... I don't think I'd trade 2-3 Avids for 1 of these.

Let us know how they compare to your other high end rods when you get one.

Glenn reply :

Dems are pricey rods!

Sorry man, I'm out. $300 is about my limit on rods. If y'all like spending that kind of dough on rods, then knock yourself out. I *** you. I really like G-Loomis rods, but that's just outta my budget range.

Pantera61 reply :

I hardly believe Recoil guides and late to the dance split grips are the stuff of which standard setting tackle is made of. Loomis had their day in the Sun.

bigfruits reply :

didnt the rod win best of show at ICAST?

cant wait to try one of these. im probably going to wait till xmas and get the gf to pick it up for me

been dreaming of the 803 with a core 51

anyone know when they'll do the mbr rods?

The proprietary rod blank is the buzz among rod manufactures.

G. Loomis has raised the bar...again.

northern basser reply :

Definitely something to dream about, but thats a little out of my price range also.

R.W., if you get rid of one of those 842's to make room, let me know!

steezy reply :

If it feels any better that my new NFC custom then I won't know what to say, except how fast can I order one!

Sam Bass reply :

Theres nothing wrong with my GLX! iM NOT CLICKING THAT LINK! Financial trouble ahead!

Those sure are purdy lookin....

My wallet isn't happy at the thought of them.

Here is a direct quote from Bantam1
The rest of the guides are black REC Recoil.

avid reply :

I was surprised to see that they stayed with cork.

That black hypalon is all the rage these days.

I much prefer the feel of cork, but I gotta admit that the hypalon looks cool.

St. Croix's new line went that route.

Kudo's to loomis for staying with the best.

Dave T. reply :

I'm sure these will be fantastic fishing rods. However, I would have been more impressed with TiSIC's all the way down the blank (especially given the price). I'd also have to see those wraps in person... look a little gaudy in the pics I've seen. Then again, the rod may be so superior that one could overlook the guides and wraps.

Anyway, for a price of over $500, I'm sure they will be offering a 100% warranty, and guarantee a "boatload" of fish on every outing. ;D

I must not have seen your price list. I didn't see anything over $500. I saw a few rods right at $500 the rest were less in the price list I saw anyway.
