Identifying G Loomis Rod Colors and Models from a Rare 2010-11 Collection - Seeking Opinions!
Posted by: Custom Rod Builders FB Post (Moderator)
Date: September 30, 2024 02:32PM


Who knows their G Loomis colors?
I just made a great blank haul from an ex G Loomis employees family.
I suspect these all date to right around 2010-11, as I also got some apparently factory test rods, which are the NRX with blue wraps.

None of these are marked, but I suspect the graphite ones are NRX and the darkest green is GLX, as these match the test rods. I got two test rods in the metallic olive, but the blank ID is cut off. All that remains is the size, and and a leaping frog logo. I suspect they are some kind of Musky or other serious freshwater blank, as they are STIFF!

The funky bit is that these come from after G Loomis stopped selling blanks to the public.

Thoughts?

Exceptional Customer Service Experience with North Fork - Highly Recommend!
Posted by: Custom Rod Builders FB Post (Moderator)
Date: September 30, 2024 02:32PM

I need to brag on North Fork for a moment. I had two customers break rods in the past few weeks.

I reached out to NFC on Monday, filling out the warranty paperwork, received an email later that day asking for pictures, sent those back Monday night. Came home yesterday to a box from them with the tips I needed.

Thats some incredible customer service in my opinion.

Need Suggestions for Desk Lamps or Alternative Lighting with Fishing Poles Mounted on Ceiling
Posted by: Custom Rod Builders FB Post (Moderator)
Date: September 30, 2024 02:37PM

I hang my fishing poles from the ceiling, so mounting overhead lights to ceiling or even hanging is an issue. Does anyone use desk lamps? I saw one 3000 lumens, 48" long. It's a clamp on mount. Any other suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
