I love lamis they are some of the lightest and best casting off the shelf rods on the market.

 

[lilaznboi9999]

is it worth the price tag? or should i get a g loomis?

 

[golfs321]

from my experience the ronn arra version is better suited for a plugging setup. Thats where you will get all of the benefits and the light weight will help. If your looking for a bait rod g loomis will work but its way expensive. You could get 2-3 ticas or 2 st croix's that you will be very happy with for that price. Personally a st croix premier will be perfect

just my 2 cents

i cant use this for bait fishing???like maybe 4oz and bait?

 

[05 grand slam]

it wouldnt be my first choice for a bait rod but it will do. I built a american tackel blank 11ft rated 2-6oz and it has caught some 80+ pound rays. But like i said its not my first choice for a bit rod. It is kind of like a light tackel fishing heaver it is fun to catch them buig rays on but it takes forever to get them in on it because it is so light

Rod

G-Loomis is a great rod.

G-Loomis all the way! I love my 12ft surf rod and can throw 8oz with bait easily!

How do the handles feel?they look mushy...

They have a strong rigid feel to them and not mushy at all...it has a rough feel to them as well that way when it rains you still can grip the handles! They feel great though and have extraaaaaa grip!

 

[chadwickfeesh]

the grip is kinda rough inbetween the fingers on the foregrip -- i just used duct tape, but you could use a short piece of shrink wrap and solve the problem too.
