Loomis for Sustain?

[jimbob88]

I've got my mind set on a Sustain 2500fg and really wanted a loomis to go with it but cant decide on the best match.Would be chasing flatties etc from the shore,would also like to be able to throw 1g heads around too for bream & Eps

Also want to keep it around the same price as the reel so 300ish,this possible?

Cheers,james.

You'll get the GLX new for mid 300's now well worth the extra $50 to $70.

Thanks i had a look,ray & annes has them for $269.

Anyone rate the TSR 792S-1 its in the trout series?

[jimbob88]

Couldnt see the weight of the GLX itself anywhere,would it be balanced on paper with a 2500 sustain?

I don't think that is the glx mate its the intermediate. Still a great rod, I have one as well as a glx and the glx is in another class

It did say they were usually $369 though.Ill probably be paying it off so will stick to a local retailer anyway.

So that was solved pretty quick thanks boys,looks like its gonna be the GLX DSR820S.Hope the butts not too long.....

I just had a look at r&a, that rod is NOT the glx it's the blend, still a good rod but not a glx

Would it be a sin to load it up with 5lb power pro?

[MattGeyer91]

I have 5 lb power pro mate and i have had no dramas with it, its on a 1000 stella and a dsr 820 glx great combo,
