G.Loomis Factory Visit

May 9th

Arrived at the G.Loomis factory today to go over new products with Steve and make sure things were coming out of the paint room as I had hoped for.  They have exceeded my expectations for the colors we have chosen on these new rods. Rich deep alive color is what I wanted and it’s absolutely what we got here with this new one.  Very very cool!
 

The Guys from Shimano Australia arrived a couple hours after I did.  They were a bit jet lagged but to be expected after being over the pond for 15 hours plus.  This trip they brought their best G. loomis dealers for a factory tour and meet and greet.  The Aussies are a laugh a minute and they never seem to take themselves too seriously.  They definitely are able to lighten the mood.  We went to a seafood dinner with the boys.  We set Fred up good with a very small dessert.  Turns out he didn’t understand what Mile High mud Pie meant!!  The whole conversion to Kilometers and all had him stumped.
