На эту палку лучше всего поставить одну катуху и по возможности навсегда! Размерность в полторы тыщи мне понравилась больше всего. К катухе требования тоже жёсткие, на рыбалке она не должна быть заметна в своей работе, некоторые даже ввели такой термин как чуствительность катухи! Идеальный вес для катухи будет в районе 200 грамм., до 210 вклюительно. Можно меньше, но каждые граммы стоят очень серьёзных серьёзных денег... Меньше нужно, чтобы не так уставала рука и снасть доставляла большее удовольствие... А для чего тебе именно второй (842/2 я так понимаю или всётаки оденочастник?) и какой это по счёту спиненг, какой из материалов выбрал?

Сверхчуствительным он не будет, но более чем достаточно - однозначно. Джиг - более или менее, хотя для джига я себе другую палку смотрю, некрупные воблера до 6 грамм (по моим субъективным), для твича очень не дурственно, по железу не скажу - не пользуюсь. По материалам почитай на сайте производителя, там очень подробненько расписано. GLX из них самый дорогой. Реальная стоимость палки тамже на сайте! Вообщето это форелевый УЛ, т.е. для нас это судак и щука и окунь в меньшей степени!

Материалы
GLX Graphite
For the hard-core angler that demands the ultimate in performance these blanks are the best of the best. GLX will allow you to build the lightest, strongest and most sensitive rods possible. These blanks allow you to build rods up to 25% lighter than rods at comparable strength, putting these blanks in a class all by themselves. There are seven models available in fly, 13 in spinning and casting and two saltwater popping rods.

IMX Graphite
Available in spinning, casting and fly fishing models, SLATE blanks offer the ultimate in high performance, high modulus fibers. With an impressive modulus ( stiffness-to-weight ratio ), and an extremely high strain-rate ( elongation-to-failure rating ), We're able to manufacture a blank that can be as much as 40 % lighter than a comparable standard graphite model, and incredibly more sensitive. Fly rodders will appreciate the quick, responsive actions and efficiency in the casting stroke provided by this high energy, high performance material. SLATE blanks feature a non-glare stealth finish to help reduce weight to the very minimum and eliminate fish spooking glare.

GL3 Graphite
Available in spinning, casting and fly fishing models, the new look MAHOGANY blanks are made from out extremely popular GL3 graphite. It is a mid-range performance blank that offers a perfect blend of intermediate modulus fibers with a fairly high strain-rate. Born from improvements to our original IM6 blanks, The new mahogany blanks are a rich red/brown, combining a hint of tradition with a touch of class. They are substantially lighter and more responsive than standard graphite blanks, making them a great value for the level of performance offered.

GL2 Graphite
Standard graphite spinning and casting blanks made on the tradition of G.Loomis performance with numerous technical improvements to make it stronger and more durable. It's substantially more responsive, lighter and more sensitive than our original 96% regular graphite blank. The new look (GL2) GRANITE blanks are amazingly powerful with a strength-to-weight ratio that will surprise you. Thanks to a highly effective epoxy resin system, you won't find a tougher, stronger blank for it's weight anywhere. Manufactured with a beautiful Pearl Grey finish to give the custom builder a number of contrasting wrap/color options, it's high performance an entry-level price.

Composite graphite/glass
The perfect blend of fiberglass and graphite to make a bold, powerful blank that gives you the strength you need to move big fish yet maintain a substantial reduction in weight. The fiberglass allows us to make a softer, more forgiving tip section that can absorb those last minute lunges at boat side. The graphite allows us to reduce the overall weight of the blank, while providing a stiffer butt-section that recover quickly to help you put more line back on the reel. The actions are fast to give you total control. Composite " OBSIDIAN " blanks are available in both saltwater and Muskie models. A beautiful, tough gloss black finish allows you to use any number of threads color combinations.

Blank Actions
We tailor blank actions ( where the blank flexes under load ) to the fishing application. A slow-action blank is less accurate than it's fast-action counter-part, but more forgiving for large fish and light line. Fast-action blanks are stiffer in the butt-section and are usually more powerful, providing better casting accuracy and help move fish move away from cover or other obstructions.

Power Ratings
All spin, cast and saltwater blanks are rated for power on a 00-8 numeric basis. It is normally, the last number of each model number. The exception being a "-2" or "-3" which refers to a multi-piece blank, and the number of pieces. The higher the number, the stronger/stiffer the blank, the lover the number, the lighter/softer the blank. Power ratings are group specific. For example: steelhead blanks do not have the same "4-power" rating as a surf for blank, or a bass rod blank. Each are compared only to the blanks in their specific-use category.

Fly Line Ratings
G.Loomis fly rod blanks are rated for weight forward lines. Ratings are the same for double taper line and keeping a lot of line in the air, you should move down one size. If you are using a shooting taper of casting very short distances, move up one line size. For example a 9' blank, rated for a #5 line balances at 35-40 feet with a 9' leader, but if you frequently make casts of less than 30-feet, you may want to move up to a # 6 line.

А GLX 842 - 2 с тубусом идёт ?

как себя "чувствует" 842- 2 GLX с механикой 2500 по шимановской линейке ?

А если чё поскромнее ?
из Shimano.

Из Шимано в 2500 механизме не магневые катушки - тяжеловаты для такого спиннинга, ИМХО. Biomaster посмотри, 2500s - 220 грамм. Самая дешевая из магневых...

Есть еще Shimano Sephia

2500s - 210 грамм. Можно заказать на injapan.

Чуть меньше трёшки. Но травы не было, только старый камыш.

Фабричный неважно-кольцо первое маленькое...

Они отличаются только шпулями.

ловить щуку Лумис же не запрещает

Нет конечно!
