I'm really tempted by that 892C for senkos!!! I'm wondering how much softer it would be than my NRX 893C? Can't wait to hear some feedback on it. :)

I am really excited to see a full handle 954 flipping stick! I have the IMX version and it is awesome for flipping / punching. I see myself owning a couple of the GLX the second they are available.

Sounds like their release is going to be delayed by quite a while...

892 and 953 would fit in my arsenal.

Yes, but better that they be "right" rather than having an issue of some kind.

We can make that happen, feel free to shoot me a PM on any of these new GLX rods!

Mostly heavy rated and long rods have full grip.
Here are couple pics from ICAST.
G. Loomis rep said they reduce total weight by 25 percent, because of the new components.

No 2016 Destroyer rods at Megabass booth :shock:
And Shimano booth has just Zodias and lower series, no Adrenas or Exprides...

St. croix won best freshwater Rod with the new Legend Glass sticks. I'm pretty excited about trying a few of those for cranking duty. I love the classic look too.

Honestly I really like the look of the rod with the carbon fiber, in the tackle tour pics the blue goes good with the loomis
logo.

Maybe a new spinning rod...

Agreed, the MBR models and the FPR models are full, the JWR are split...
