St.Croix, GLoomis question
St.Croix, GLoomis question
I think I read somewhere that comparing a Loomis to a Croix, that a med. GLoomis is comparable to a med. light St.Croix or the other way around. Yes, no, maybe? I have a 6'6" Avid med. and I just got a GLoomis 6'6" GL3 med. and they are different when it comes to flex.
Re: St.Croix, GLoomis question
If you have one of each then you should be able and tell, no? ... Generally speaking the St. Croix sticks behave more stoutly than a G.Loomis of the same lure weight rating.
Re: St.Croix, GLoomis question
Yes I do have both sticks. I was just wondering if this is the norm between St. Croix and GLoomis. Thanks for your comments.Cal wrote:If you have one of each then you should be able and tell, no? ...

Re: St.Croix, GLoomis question
I notice more of a difference between the product lines not necessarily say Avid and GL3 both should be very similar aside from the action and that should be fairly close.

Re: St.Croix, GLoomis question
St. Croix medium power is more like a medium heavy power Loomis but actions are pretty close if not the same.
Re: St.Croix, GLoomis question
Generally speaking (not including every rod in every series), but from what I have found is that St. Croix rods fish about a power heavier.tracker01 wrote:I think I read somewhere that comparing a Loomis to a Croix, that a med.

e.g.) Medium powered St. Croix = Medium Heavy or 3 powered Loomis
