Can someone explain the numbering system on GLoomis rods?

[dodgeguy]

i jump all over people who think it's great to break a 400 rod and then pay 50 to replace it.imho i hear of more loomis rods snapping on the internet then any other brand.if it was a car it would be recalled.you don't hear nearly as much of st.croix or others snapping.they may be light and sensitive but i just don't get it.most guys who tourney fish for money don't use them either.i think it's a status symbol more than anything else.but if guys like them have a ball.as far as powerpro i just try to help people buy a better braid at a better price.

Fair enough but this post had nothing to with the warranty or a broken G. Loomis.

i made a joke !!! ;D

[dodgeguy]

the last # is how many times it will snap.multiply that by $50 and you get how much extra you paid for your warranty.ROFLMAO !!!! i couldn't resist !!!

Do you own a GLX, Dodgeguy? How many GLX rods have you broken? Or are you basing your reviews solely from what allegedly happened to Marty's buddy?

If the answers are no, zero and yes, then you're doing the folks at BR a disservice by giving a scathing condemnation of GLX rods whenever you have an opportunity. Pretty much everybody with personal experience with GLX thinks they are top of the line and would recommend them to a friend.

i've fished with them .they are light.i've never broken one.i didn't think they were any more sensitive than other top of the line rods i've had a chance to use.i would never buy one.i know a bunch of people who break them.i've read a lot of reports by guys who have broken them.that's where my opinion comes from.
