G. Loomis or Kistler ?

[craneboy]

I am going to buy a swimbait/big bait rod. what one would you pick out of either Kistler "big bait special" 8', lure weight 1-5 oz. or G. Loomis swimbait 904c 7'6", lure weight 1/2 - 3oz ? Kistler $160 made in China, G. Loomis $225 made in USA. I just got the Huddleston deluxe 6" juvenile trout swimbait that weighs 3oz and I want to catch some hogs!
