SAIL is now putting some of G.LOOMIS rods on clearance sale now, can someone tells me which rod I can choose for walleye jigging fishing? I want to use it mainly for walleye jigging (use 1/4 to 3/8 jig head most of time) in Rideau river most of time and I want to feel the bottom structure from the rod when dragging the line (with matching light line sure). Can GL2 852 spin jig and worm rod fit my requirement or this price is not possible to meet my expectation? What power (M,ML) and speed(Fast, extra Fast etc.) I should looking for?
Thanks,
LF suggestion on rod G.LOOMIS GL2 series
Re: LF suggestion on rod G.LOOMIS GL2 series
After reading some reviews online, it seems as if the GL2 series is rather mediocre in terms of sensitivity for its price. I haven't fished with it, so I wouldn't know though. Perhaps others who have experience with it might be able to provide better insight!

Re: LF suggestion on rod G.LOOMIS GL2 series
I sold a ton of GL2's at Paddletales. We had them on sale as well but they are long gone. As to the sensitivity, I don't think I ever had a complaint, if fact a number of guys bought muliples. The reports back I received were 99% positive.
Seahawk: I would look for a 782 jwr or an 802jwr. I can't remember if they made any with the SJR (rather than the JWR) suffix. If they did they would work well too. If you can't find anything at Sail I have a great selection of the Loomis E6X's, the GL2's replacement.
