This will be for shallow and mid-cranks.  The Real Control will be for topwaters.

That rod blank color is purty. 😎 Love me some glass composite rods.

I was never much for Loomis rods BUT this has that bronze color of the old crankin' sticks, I think that was the series.

Also ... it feels good in hand and handles well.  Now, for a few fish ...

Yeppers, the OG metallic bronze/burgundy GLoomis CBR blanks were the prettiest and fishes well, granted they were a bit more prone to breaking than the later evolutions of the series, like the Mahogany blanks.
