Ok so I felt some up and could not find any of the new Steelhead series to hold. I decided on the GL3 1024C. I went with the medium power rather than the medium heavy. It just "felt" better. I did check out the IMX series and I just didn't like the handle. Can't figure out why Loomis changed the handles so much on that series. It's definitely lighter than the GL3's but I didn't notice it being much more sensitive for the extra 80 bucks.

Now all I have to do is wait until this Saturday so I can go put this bad boy to the test.

Went out and tested the new rod last Saturday and all i can say is it was worth every dollar I spent. I have never been happier with a fishing rod. This thing is simply amazing. You can feel everything. I wish I could describe how much better this rod is than your cheaper fishing rods. Within 10 minutes of getting started I had one on and as I was yelling for my son to get his butt down to me with the net I had let the line slack a little and ended up losing the fish. Then the next 2 I had on were not so lucky. The first was a native and released immediately , but the last was a nice 28 incher that went in the cooler. Was a very nice day and the bite was quite slow. We will be back again in a few weeks for some more action. This new Loomis is going to see a lot of action I can already tell.
