>>1744223>Loomis is still made hereYeah, but Gary Loomis is out of the company now and he big time cheaped out with Temple Fork rods. The only US rod makers that have any integrity are Fly rod makers.
>USDM is equal to JDMThere is no comparison. 90% of of JDM is made in Japan, 90% of USDM is made in China. USDM gear is a Chinese experience. The remaining 10% of stuff that is sold in the USDM is Japanese and its the best we have.
>USDM has no convenional Trout market>USDM has no braided lines lighter than 8lb>USDM doesn't have Quick-snap>USDM doesn't have Shallow Spooled reels>USDM's Ultralight market is embarrassingly pathetic>USDM's lure selection is a fraction of JapansThere are a few anon's here that know Quality, but most that are vocal in threads are fishing fudds who cannot handle people making decisions to purchase finer equipment. You same faggots do this to fly guys that come into these threads.
Fishing isn't a pissing contest until you it make one. Why in the ever loving fuck would you want to scare off industry autists here when they could put you on gear that not only performs better, but is CHEAPER as well? No one is getting pissed off here that someone in this thread is using shit gear, but mention or JDM and all the walmart and bassprobros lose their collective shit. You know what that's called?
Cope.
