Whether it’s the original IM6 graphite, the IMX, GL3, GLX or the new NRX—G. Loomis has always been at the forefront of fishing rod development. Just when you think they can’t come up with anything better, they do.
BassParade is kind of like that. No, we don’t make uber-sweet, hyper-sensitive fishing rods, but we do enjoy blowing your mind with new stuff. If you thought BassParade had reached the apex of awesome, hold on to your butts, ‘cuz we’re about to give you something to smile about. How does a free G. Loomis rod sound?
Yes, we are GIVING AWAY G. Loomis rods! We have three: an NRX852C (casting/jig & worm), a GLX DSR820S (spinning/dropshot), and a MossyBack BCR852 (casting/jig & worm).
Winning one of these killer Loomis sticks is easy, and there’s more than one way to get your name in the hat—SO PAY ATTENTION!
Facebookers
Complete the tasks below. For each of these tasks you complete, you’ll be entered to win one of the rods. So if you do all three, that’s three entries!
1. “Like” BassParade on Facebook. If you already “like” us, you’ve already got one entry! If not, WTH are you waiting for?!
2. We have the image below uploaded to our Facebook page. If you leave a comment on this image (NOTE: You have to “like” our page to leave a photo comment), that’s a second entry into the contest. If you want to post 50 comments that’s up to you, but we’ll only count ONE for entry.
3. Tag yourself in this image. Facebook only allows 50 tags per image, so you have to act fast to get in on this one!
Find this image on Facebook and comment on it or tag it for a chance to win!
Twits and Tweeters
This one is simple. All our Twitter followers will automatically get an entry into the contest. So if you’re not following us, DO IT!
We’ll be randomly posting tweets on our BassParade Twitter account with the hashtag #BassParadeLoomis. If you retweet that message—BOOM—you’re entered to win. Every time you see #BassParadeLoomis in one of our tweets, that represents a chance to win. You might see it once a week or twice a day. Keep your eyes peeled.
Home Sweet Home
You didn’t think we were going to let the social media folks have all the fun, did you? If you’re not socially savvy, don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of chances to gain entries into the giveaway right here at bassblaster.bassgold.com.
We’ll be posting G. Loomis-related posts throughout the contest. When you see a post with a category designation of “Win G. Loomis” (see sample image below) all you have to do is comment on that post and you’re entered to win.
When you see a post in the "Win G. Loomis" category comment on that post and you'll be entered to win.
We’ll only count ONE comment per post as an entry, so there’s no need to spam. However, the next time you see a post in the “Win G. Loomis” category you can comment on that one for another entry into the giveaway. And for those who are a little slow on the uptake…. YES this post counts!
One requirement: The comment has to be relevant to the post – no garbage. Garbage = no entry.
Deets
This contest begins NOW (March 8, 2011) and will run through April 20, 2011.
We’ll draw winners for the rods on the following dates:
Weds., March 23, 2011 (GLX DSR820S)
Weds., April 6, 2011 (MossyBack BCR852)
Weds., April 20, 2011 (NRX852C)
We will announce winners on Facebook, Twitter and here at bassblaster.bassgold.com. Depending on where the winner comes from, we may announce your name (Facebook), username (blog comments) or Twitter handle (Twitter). It’s not our fault if you miss the announcement. If you snooze, you lose. So make sure you check the site to see if you’ve won.
Winners will have until 12 p.m. CST the following Monday to claim their rod. If the rod isn’t claimed, we’ll draw another name.
Attempting to gain multiple entries through the creation of more than one username or account is prohibited. C’mon, man! Don’t pull that stuff on us.
You’re only eligible to win once. You can’t win multiple rods.
Winners will be chosen randomly and will be mailed the stick directly by G. Loomis.

If I win the dropshot rod I’ll take it, but I’d much prefer either of the other 2. Yes an NRX would be sweet and winning a contest or the lottery is probably the only way I’ll aquire one.
