It’s only the best</font id=“size4”> fresh water fish in America. IMO.
Never forget a little mom and pops restaurant near Grand Forks that had all you could eat walleye for $8.99 every Friday.
OK, I’ll bite (pun intended). best</font id=“size4”> at what?

I believe Fred is saying it’s the best eating freshwater fish, which it is.
“…be a man and PM me.”
I figured that was what he was talking about. Kinda hard to beat Crappie for taste so Walleye must REALLY taste good to be the best tasting freshwater fish.

As a follow-up, these were not the GLX w/ recoil
Guides. They were a list price of $260 which was tagged on the rod sticker by loomis. West marine charges you at pickup if you have in store delivery so I returned them at the counter. Bummer - could have been hell of a deal if they were the GLX w/ recoils.

The link you posted brings you to the page, under the item specifications it states that they are the Fuji Alconite Guides. The rod showed $400 on the link but still, a G Loomis GLX for $200 and a limited lifetime warranty is still a good price. My buddy was very happy with his purchase.
Really it is 25% off a $260 rod. The GLX models all come with titanium recoil guides. I believe this to be a standard Loomis Walleye Series Rod. See the following link:
Had it been a GLX with the alconite guides I would have considered keeping it. It was my experience that West Marine misadvertised the deal on their website as they had the list price as $400 representing a GLX rod when what was shipped was not a GLX.
Anyhow, hope your friend enjoys the rod. I will spend my money elsewhere. Cheers!
Yeah I got mine and went “hmmmm.” So when I saw the tag and handled the rod I went right to my rod closet and got out my 7’1" GLX held then side by side and flexed the tips side by side on the ground. I decided to keep it. I put a 3000 Ci4 on it off another rod and took it out. Casting was the same I could sling a Zman a good way. The rod is light and had good feel. The major different was the feel of the hook set. This model was a softer set than the GLX. When the trout would take the bait the tip also flexed a tad more. Not the deal I was hoping for but I still liked its performance. Probably the last rod I get for a long time inshore.
I get it Chucktown I debated doing the same but after using it and catching some dinks and a few 17’ trout my buyers remorse went away.
