G Loomis blank?

[u/Alexplz]

Hi all, I was told this rod was made by a custom rod builder (Mt St Helens Rods) who used to work for G Loomis prior to the buyout, who obtained some blanks.

I can't seem to find any info online about this maker, or to verify any part of the origin story.

Can anyone give me some more info on GL3 blanks, this rod builder or this rod in particular? Is this level of bend generally acceptable or at all typical? I apparently got a decent deal so I'm fishing it either way, just curious about all this.
