New G-Loomis GL2 8500 ESP

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get my hands on the new loomis in the SE of Melbourne?

I have been looking and can't seem to find them anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

That model must be a 'made for Australia' model as it does not exist not the gloomis web site. I understand it retails for $250 which puts it at the low end of the loomis range.

Cheers mate

I may have the model wrong.

I saw it advertised in this months VFM at the back and it suggests to look it up on shimanofish.com.au but I can't seem to locate it as it refers me to the Loomis website. I might ask my local

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the GL2 8500 ESP was due out in November?
maybe ring Shimano to confirm.

Thanks all,

I have never ever seen a St. Croix in a rod rack in a tackle store before. I would be more than happy to have a look if someone can tell me where they can e viewed.

Cheers
