I'm a Loomis 966 addict. I use them for a lot of my swimbait fishing. It makes sense the 957 would be stouter and sounds like they have input from some guys who know whats up. I'm definitely familiar with the name Thigpin and all thing bigbait and trophy. Good feedback.
Matt S., sound like you are doing some forward thinking. Your rod that can throw a 2 pound bait! Shoots bro. I'm gonna have to have me one of those!
