The main reason I am/was looking at Loomis's Trout and Panfish rod is because I want a true UL package and that rod is the only one I found rated for 1-4# line. All the others are rated 2-6#.
I'm having second thoughts now though. Mostly because it only comes in 5' length and med. action, but saving a few bucks wouldn't hurt either.
I probably won't buy anything until trapping/hunting seasons over and I have that fur money burning a hole in my pocket but I've got plenty to think about and look for now thanks to everyone's input.
Thanks guys.
