The Great Blue Heron Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 You're missing out . They have excellent rods and reels I'm sure that I am. But there are so many other goodies out there that don't have a 13 on them. Does the butt of the rod have a penny on tails showing glued in? Does it come with a rabbits foot or a horse shoe to compensate all those missed lunkers? Just wondering out loud.... Quote
Primus Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I think a close out is probably a safe assumption on the GL2.. Talked to a Shimano rep this weekend and he confirmed that the GL2 is going to be phased out . Said they have to work out something with a major retailer to help them to reduce stock. He didn't get into specifics but I'm guessing you will be able to get these rods at a Clearance sale price at some point in the future . Quote

It boggles the mind that G.Loomis spent a lot of money in a complete redesign of the GL2 and now, not even 4 full years later it is going to be phased out. I'm thinking if they phase it out it will be done over a decent period of time, say a 5 year thing to see how the sale of the E6X goes. Quote
carlm01 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I own 5 of the GL2s and have no plans on getting rid of them ,They're is always something better right around the corner LOL...... Quote

I never understood how a rabbits foot could be lucky wasn't lucky for the rabbit . Somewhere there's a rabbit in a wheelchair that would beg to differ with you my friend 1 Quote

I've never carried one, but I don't pocket coins that I find on tails either...I just turn them over to heads and leave them where I find them. 1 Quote
Capt.Bob Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Standard Fuji aluminum oxide, from what I've gathered. Good looking sticks, though I'd like to have seen micro alconites to shed some weight in the tip. If you look at the specs,,,, it is what it is,,, an entry level rod,,,,, with a loomis price tag,,,,,, Quote
