ack-ack Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 If I had the money I'd love to give a Gary Loomis a crack. If his spinners are anything like his fly rods they'll be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 have a look at the greys range,cheaper than the hardy,but same company. personally i find the daiwa to stiff, not very good at putting light lures out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I see you're in Penrith, call in to John Norris, they have some great kit & usually a decent sale on at this time of year too. Win win, happy shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Can't fault Greys fly rods for the money, I would imagine their spinning rods are just as good - those are what i would be looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
