To echo Mojo.....it all depends on what you are targeting and methods you are using.
Trolling for trout = 7'6" to 8' bait casting rod rated for 8-17 lbs test with medium power is my fav. Shimano, Cabelas, Ugly Stick, etc all provide nice rods in this catagory.
Bank fishing or casting = Spin casting rods with same rating..same brands ....For a less expensive but nice feel I also like the Berkly's
Loomis is a top line for sure,,,,,but certainly will not required if rather not spedn the money
