Need Loomis FR-1204 GLX

Dear Friends,

I have a customer that recently lost the tip of his treasured Loomis 10' 4 wt fly rod to a very large brown trout. As you well know, this rod is no longer manufactured. If anyone knows of the location of a complete rod or set of blanks for the model FR-1204 GLX please respond to the e-mail address below. The tip is all that is damaged.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Charlie

Charlie,
Has he talked with Loomis? Just because the rod's not made doesn't mean they can't replace the tip. They hold some stock back for warranty repairs.

That is correct Spencer, he did tell me he had discussed the issue with Loomis and the only thing they would do for him was to replace it with a 10 ft - 5 weight which he did not desire because he normally uses the rod with a 3 weight line. He felt that would not be suitable so he declined the offer.

Thanks and I appreciate your input.

Keep 'em tight

Charlie
