If you are not sold on Loomis look into the dobyns 784 ML Jig rod. I use it and i believe Doucet uses it and also loves it.
So many Rods, So many Price's. I've had great luck with Bass Pro rods, even though there $99.99 rods, I can still tell hard bottom from gravel, silt and so on. person prefrence I suppose. I've always heard great things about loomis and have enjoyed my grandfathers steelhead spinning loomis but none the less, there decent. just a prefence.
I fished the old 894 GLX for the last 2 years until l snapped the tip off last summer. Sent it back and got the new style. The new rod is lighter, has better balance and i cant tell any difference in sensitivity.
One of these days I'd like one, just havnt got there yet....
The new GLX rods are different, and I think if you are expecting the staple rod models to feel the same in the new setup you are likely going to be disappointed. Some may feel better and fish better some may be worse. I don't think anyone has enough time with them to say yet. There are some new models in the GLX lineup that I think look really interesting and would like to get, but I am trying to get new tires for my Jeep and that is the priority right now.
If you elect to go with a Dobyns, I will make you a deal on a brand new "with tags" Champion Extreme DX795.
Austin is right on the Dobyns 784 Mike Long Jig Rod. I really like this rod for jig fishing, but it's also versatile enough to fish texas rigs of varying size and 6" senkos.
Otherwise I'm pretty much GLX across the board with a couple of NRX rods as well. I haven't run any of the new model stuff so I can't speak to those, but from what I agree with Ron that I really like the recoil guides on my baitcaster - not so much on the spinning rods though.
Right on guys thanks for the info. I have a Dobyns Champion Extreme 702 spinning rod I love so I bet there Jig rods are killer as well. I think I am going get a new GLX 894C JWR hopefully on sale.

Eric,
I just picked up a GLX 894 FPR. Its a beautiful green rod, and when paired with my curado, her name shall forever be known as "zelda". There is only one item on this earth that feels more natural in the palm of my hand....
that is the remote for the direct tv...
I haven't fished the rod, so I can't really talk about the stuff you probably are more interested in hearing about....but so far so good.
