Announcing . . . . . .
We will be a distributor for Gary Loomis's new Blanks.
Watch for a flyer very soon.

Received this in an email from a supplier today....looks like Gary is indeed coming out with something new...Looks like perfect timing considering the pending GLoomis departure from blank sales. Looking forward to seeing what he is coming out with.

I talked to one of my buddies who is on the Shimano Pro Staff and I guess Gary is working with a company called North Fork Composites. Sort of reminiscent of LCI isn't it. I got that same e-mail today, sort of interested in seeing the flyer. He tells me that Shimano owns the name so I don't think you will see anything that says Loomis on the blanks. Should be interesting

Thank you whoever you are

There is a trademark in dispute and it involves the use of the name "Loomis Outdoors" in any connection that has to do with rods or blanks.

I found this- [dockets.justia.com]

Should not affect blank sales or production but affect the name they are sold under.
