Super User fishballer06 Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 Over the weekend I went to the local Field and Stream store (Dick's newest outdoor sporting goods line of stores) to get some line put on 3 of my baitcasting reels since it's easier to have them do it for me, than trying to beg my girlfriend to help me do it at home. The gentlemen who works the fishing section is a local tournament fishermen who is very friendly and I've spoke to on many occasions. Once my reels were done, I was leaving the store whenever I glanced over at a rack of clearance rods. That's when I noticed a few G Loomis rods on the clearance rack. Upon checking them out, I found a TWR 773C for $145. I knew that I had a rewards certificate for $30, and a $10 off a $50+ purchase coupon. So in the end, this brought the total for my new rod down to $105. Overall, it's a very nice rod and I can see why guys are so loyal to G Loomis. I didn't need this rod at all, but for the price, I couldn't turn it down. 2 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 Seeing as that rod sells for about $250, I say, great find. Enjoy, can't go wrong with a loomis rod. Hootie Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Super User Posted September 8, 2014 I thought so too. I used it a little this weekend with my Chronarch E series on it. Makes for a great topwater and jerkbait rod. Quote

Bass_Fanatic Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I bought a very lightly used mossy back 874 last month for $70 at a sporting goods store. I'm like you, I didn't need it, but couldn't pass up the deal! Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 Look up the term "Gateway Drug" I think it will apply. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 CONGRATULATIONS! I"ll bet this won't be your last G. Loomis. Quote
