“To make every day you spend on the water more memorable” Last year whilst visiting customers throughout Europe, presenting our products and making casting demonstrations at fly events, I was asked the following question several times. “Is it true that G.Loomis rods will be produced in the Far East in future?” The answer is a definite ‘No’. Quite the reverse in fact for 2009 was a year in which the decision was taken to expand production in Woodland, USA - home of G.Loomis. The overall aim is to enhance our quality standards, reinforce the R&D team and re-organise the sales and marketing operations. Like most companies, G.Loomis’s greatest asset is its’ people, all of whom have many years of experience in designing and producing fly and spinning rods and, most importantly, share a common passion for angling. That knowledge, know-how and passion has resulted in some fantastic new ranges for 2010 including the Crankbait Deep Flex and Jerkbait series, and for anglers who love the surf, the Pro Green Series - winner of the “Saltwater Rod Best of Show ICast 2009” award. For fly anglers there are three new amazing series of rods; the Max GLX Czech Nymph - specifically designed for nymph fishing, the new 4pc Stinger GLX series, and the totally new VersaSpey. New accessories have also been added including the Max Taper flylines, along with some exciting new additions to the Luggage and Clothing series. I hope you enjoy the new catalogue and don’t forget, with G.Loomis you’re not just buying a rod, you’re buying a rod designed, rolled, assembled and hand finished in Woodland, Washington, by some of the best craftsmen in the world.
R.Mascaro G.Loomis Brand Manager Europe
For starters these rods are 25% lighter than rods of comparable strength, which you will notice as soon as you take the rod from the car and carry it to the bank side. Once rigged, you will find the fast action, medium/stiff to stiff and progressive tapers help you throw out beautiful highspeed loops with new found ease. After one of these beautiful casts, you will get the opportunity to enjoy its incredibly sensitive tip while fighting the fish you couldn’t quite reach before. It may seem presumptive to suggest you can’t experience this with someone else’s fly rod, but quite frankly no other rod maker has GLX graphite. Not even close. Basically, whether you are an expert fly angler who wants every last bit of his ability to shine through, or an intermediate angler who wants to improve his abilities practically overnight, the GLX is the rod you need. In 1993 G. Loomis introduced GLX, the ultimate performance fishing tool, which was first offered in our fly rod line up, and then shortly after expanded into our casting and spinning rods. In collaboration with the leading USA carbon fibre manufacturer, a custom ultra high strength high modulus fibre is engineered specifically for fishing rod applications. Combined with new mandrel tapers to optimize the new fibres, it creates the ultimate lightweight, sensitive, and best casting rod EVER!
Max GLX - Supplied with an offset - oval sculptured reel seat, anodized in black. Insert is aluminum, laser etched with our G. Loomis Skeleton Fish logo. All seats are up locking with hidden hoods.
StreamDance GLX - Includes our exclusive off-set oval sculptured, anodized aluminum barrel and a distinctively beautiful “California Buckeye Burl” insert. Each piece of wood is different to add that unique perspective to the customer. All seats are up locking with hidden hoods.
IMX Serious Anglers with state of the art equipment know that a great rod is essential, and that’s why you find people all over the world fishing IMX rods. It was the IMX breakthrough that put G. Loomis on the map, and it’s no secret why. Their high modulus graphite makes them extremely sensitive, giving you a “picture” of what the lure is doing every inch of your retrieve. You’ll feel every rock, every bush, every weed, every twitch your bait makes, and when the subtle take occurs, it will feel like the biggest vacuum in the world just sucked in your bait. It’s hard to describe, but easy to appreciate. And talk about strong... you can haul in the meanest underwater critters from the heaviest cover with minimal effort. Incredibly, however, they’re some of the lightest rods on the market so you can fish day after day without fear of your casting arm committing mutiny. Distance, accuracy, sensitivity, strength, these rods truly have it all. Apart from our GLX, there’s not a rod anywhere that can outperform an IMX. Guide types In 2003, with our introduction of CrossCurrent Fly rods we debuted a new guide called RECOIL. RECOIL guides are made from a special nickel titanium alloy with unique physical properties which match perfectly with the rod blank. Until now, fishing rod guides have been plated or have used ceramic inserts to provide wear resistance. RECOIL guides are made from an extremely hard but flexible “Shape Memory” alloy, which does not require plating, cannot corrode in any environment, and returns or “RECOILs” to its original shape after repeated deformations. We use RECOILs on every new fly or cast / spin GLX rod that we build. The properties match up perfectly with our GLX rods and with additional weight reduction and sensitivity it only makes a GLX rod that much better! Having no inserts means that the inner ring cannot pop out, which could happen with conventional guides, meaning that you don’t have to stop fishing.
EastFork - The oval ported anodized aluminum reel seat is accented with a burl cork insert that is laser etched with our Skeleton Fish logo. The reel seat frame is anodized to the same bronze colour that matches up nicely with our East Fork fly reel.
CrossCurrent - Our GLX and Pro-1 CrossCurrent rods come with the original off-set oval sculptured, anodized aluminum reel seat. The carbon fibre insert, accented with our Skeleton Fish logo in soft gold colour, finishes off the unique look. All are up locking reel seats with hidden hoods and 2 lock nuts. Colour of the anodization is olive green with soft gold accents. On regular CrossCurrent rods we use a solid anodized aluminum barrel. Anodized in light bronze.
Note - On Roaring River Greased Line rods the guides are Hopkins & Holloway guides. The Dredger & Stinger series take Recoil on the GLX models.
Native Run - GLX rods come with the same off set oval sculptured reel seat, anodized in dark Bronze.
WHAT WE MEAN BY ACTION AND POWER
Insert is a dark green aluminum insert laser etched with our G. Loomis Skeleton Fish logo. The reel seat features a new single fastener with raised grips, making it easier to tighten and loosen with gloves in cold weather. Locks up to sliding hood with hidden Delran ring to eliminate backing off until you want to.
Action Rod action refers to the flex characteristics of a rod, varying from Slow to Extra-Fast. An Extra-Fast action rod flexes mainly at the tip. Slower (or softer) action rods flex throughout the entire length of the rod. Moderate action rods fall in between. We tailor the action of each of our rods to the particular fishing application for which they’re designed, taking into account the preferred fishing action, optimum casting range, fighting power, the feel of the rod, and countless other variables. Power We rate the power of our rods on a scale of 00 to 8. Th is rating should give you an idea of how each rod in the series compares in terms of lifting, fighting and casting strength. Because each series is rated independently, a 2-power Spin Jig rod, for example, does not feel the same as a 2-power Steelhead rod. Another way to measure power is resistance to flex or how much each specific rod bends under load. The 2-power rod flexes more easily than a 3-power and so on. Generally speaking, the heavier your choice of line and lure, the higher the power rating you’ll need.
RoaringRiver - GLX models also carry the oval sculptured reel seat, in a moss green anodization. Double nut and up locking. The insert is an Ivory like material with a lasered fly graphic traditional to Spey fishing. On the Deveron, Kispiox, and Alta models they carry solid barrels with the same nut systems as on the GLX. Note - Stingers are up locking and the Greased Line and Dredger are down locking.

The Max GLX are the result of the need for ultimate speed and control under the most demanding casting and fishing conditions. Ideally suited to casters who demand fast cycle time, these rods have the extra-stiff action and fast taper needed to push either Hi-D or floating lines with ease, from the drifting boat or while drifting the river in a raft. Also excellent for long line nymphing with weighted fly or indicator, or to make a tight cast into a stiff wind. When you want to take control no matter the conditions the Max GLX is your rod.

MAX GLX “CZECH NYMPH”
NEW
A unique fly rod series designed for a special style of tournament stream angling in Europe where speed and line control are paramount to success. These are extremely fast, 10-foot, 4-piece rods with light, sensitive tips to help anglers make short, accurate drifts with weighted nymphs. The technique requires very little in the way of traditional casting. Anglers flick weighted flies upstream of the target area and then, using the extra rod length, and long, light leaders, actually guide the flies along the bottom, under tension. The extra-fast taper in these rods provide a quick hook set, so anglers can react before the fish spits the fly. The 3-weight is for smaller fish and protecting very light tippets. The 4-weight is for slightly heavier tippets and larger fish. The technique is quickly gaining a following in the U.S. as anglers discover new ways to fool wily trout on pressured waters.

XPERIENCE Xperience fly rods are a new range of high performance/high value travel fly rods. Utilizing the same high modulus graphite found in the top of the range rods of other brands, the rod tapers have been crafted to cast effortlessly with a lightweight feel, yet with durability to become an heirloom. The lighter sizes, with medium fast taper and stiff ness, provide the high line speed needed for accuracy and control.

ROARING RIVER SERIES
ROARING RIVER GREASED LINE SERIES
THE THREE STYLES OF ROARING RIVER TWO-HAND RODS
Over a century ago Jock Scott wrote of Greased Line fishing as performed by A.H.E. Wood to present a fly broadside to salmon to entice the fish to strike. Th is traditional form of Spey casting maintains a relatively fi xed line length of 65-100 feet, allowing you to cover water without retrieving or lengthening line on each cast; keeping you less tired and more focused on your prize. These powerful designs use the full bend of the rod, flexing through the mid-section when fully loaded. The Roaring River Greased Line series of two-hand rods offer the ultimate combination of power and grace in a rod and provide you perfect swing speed and fly control. For Spey casts from 50 to 150 feet the Roaring River Greased Line two-hand rod series will truly allow you to fish the water “Fine and Far off.” - Steve Choate
The Roaring River Series is designed for the three primary casting techniques used throughout the world: Traditional, Skagit and Scandinavian.
ROARING RIVER GREASED LINE To address the Traditional style of two-hand casting, our field experts have helped to define the Roaring River Greased Line rods; seven rods ranging from a 14’ #8/9 wt. to a 17’ #10/11 wt. Designed to cast long belly floating or sinking lines using a long casting stroke, this traditional form of spey casting maintains a fi xed line of 65 to 100 feet. These rods allow you to cover water without retrieving or lengthening line on each cast, keeping you less tired and more focused on the prize. These powerful designs use the full bend of the rod, flexing through the mid-section when fully loaded.

Th is is the “go to” rod to cover Northwest steelhead under a wide range of river conditions, lines and flies. Rod action is moderate with a positive feel, allowing the angler to use a bit more authority lifting heavier sinking lines with heavily weighted flies, resetting the anchor, then delivering a long cast. Expect effortless 50 to 90 foot casts, with short belly head and running monofi lament. Th is rod is at home on larger western rivers where continuous longer casts are needed to cover the run and battle of big fish when they decide to nail your fly. It is a must rod for trips to the Dean, Babine, Kispiox rivers.

ROARING RIVER DREDGER When you need to get down fast in swift, deep drifts, the new Roaring River Dredger will comfortably manage the sinking tips and weighted flies needed for Skagit style casting. Th is model is designed to throw short to medium belly 38 to 62 ft. lines using the balanced medium casting stoke, refined over time by the northwest steelhead fishermen. Requiring less back cast space than traditional casting, this rod provides excellent distance with some shoot to the cast. Dredger GLX – Th is is the top of the Dredger range, featuring our proprietary GLX graphite along with the finest rod components available today. With nickel titanium recoil guides by REC these cast as slick as they look. Exquisitely crafted Portuguese cork handles with a special composite cork end-cap and fore grip are fitted to our exclusive offset - oval sculptured barrel reel seat, each with an ivory style insert engraved with a fly graphic.
ROARING RIVER STINGER Originally targeted at Scandinavian style casters, these rods have also become very popular for use with both Traditional and Skagit lines, particularly for casters looking for fast action rod performance. The taper and power of these rods are perfectly balanced to enable the angler to change lines and casting styles in order to achieve long casts with less effort. With a choice of either 14’ or 15’ models, both will help you generate high line speed and give great shooting distance casts. With a fast action taper, these rods will also let you make overhead false casts - where back-casting room is sufficient - generating the highest line speed possible. Originally launched in 2004, these two 3 piece rods are now regarded as the benchmark against which other Salmon rods are assessed. Series Stinger GLX Stinger GLX

GLX STINGER SERIES
VERSASPEY FLY RODS
G.Loomis introduced their two-hand “RoaringRiver” series back in 2004. Developed around the three dominant forms of spey casting – Traditional, Skagit and Scandinavian, the series is recognised as one of the most comprehensive line-ups of two-hand fly rods in the industry. The Scandinavian style Stinger rods, whilst still available in original 3-piece configuration, are now also available in a more transport-friendly 4-piece. Like the 3-piece, the rod actions remain fast and powerful to help create narrow loops using an underhand casting stroke. Since the physical weight of the line reflects the true rating for each rod, we’ve converted our traditional line-size system to grains and grams for a more universal rating system. The new GLX Stinger also incorporates nickel titanium RECOIL guides by REC which help make the rod noticeably lighter. They’re also flexible, making a mistake like catching a tree branch nothing more than an inconvenience. The handle shape has also been refined and the overall diameter reduced. The high-quality Portuguese cork, special composite end-cap and fore grip are fitted to an offset oval sculptured barrel reel seat with ivory effect insert and triple wing locking nuts, to help loosen or lock the reel easily - even in cold temperatures.
We used our “blend” fibre technology and moderately priced components to create a new range of two-hand salmon and steelhead fly rods that are so-named because of their “versatility”. Balancing the rod with the right line-weight allows these rods to perform all the dominant casting methods with exceptional comfort and control. They are better than our expectations… they are fantastic! They have dual fly line-ratings along with weight-ratings in grains to help select the right balance. For floating lines with short, mid- and long-belly integrated lines, use the dual weight line listed for the rod. When using Scandinavian and Skagit shooting lines (sink-tips not included), use the grain-weight for reference. The rods range in length from 12’ 6” to 13’ 6” and are well suited for short/compact length shooting heads, yet they are long enough for full fly lines.

Saltwater fly fishing is a passion, a fanatical pursuit with zeal fuelled by the degree of difficulty required to reach the ultimate goal. It’s fast fish and skinny water for some . . . big fish and blue water for others. Sometimes it’s finesse and long leaders, but most of the time it’s brute strength and power! Creating fly rods for such a demanding fishery requires a lot of dreaming and a lot of fishing. Messrs Pallot, Wejebe, Rajeff and Loomis, along with a cast of hundreds, shared their angling and casting expertise to help create the most advanced series of saltwater rods ever made. Our CrossCurrent series includes 15 unique rods that put the odds in your favour by creating more aerodynamic loops, extreme line speed and superior casting accuracy. And now that you’ll reach the fish, moving them away from trouble and ultimately in your direction is much easier with the CrossCurrent’s stiff, powerful butt-section. The top of the range are the six GLX 4-piece models, ranging from 6 to 12-weights. With the ergonomic grip and our exclusive offset-oval sculptured barrel reel seat, these rods are not only extremely tough but a delight to the eyes as well. When you need to throw extra long casts in the surf or from jetties try one of the three CrossCurrent Beach rods. Great for cutting through strong onshore winds and delivering those extra large Deceiver patterns. If you’re a blue water fanatic, the super powerful 8’3” 15-weight billfish rod is a revelation in its own right. A gimbaled fighting butt allows anglers to use a fighting belt if needed. If not, there’s a removable rubber butt cap. If you need even more leverage (we seriously doubt it), there’s a cork fighting grip just above the main grip to help you even the odds. The remaining six models are all 3-piece, fast tapered, power rods designed to cover the gamut of saltwater fly fishing opportunities. They’re a blend of strength and durability in a powerful matrix that provides a wonderful casting rod capable of handling big fish with authority. Our CrossCurrent rods have Fuji stripper guides and stainless steel, oversized, double-foot snake guides with a durable pear-shaped tip-top. All CrossCurrent fly rods feature premium grade Portuguese species cork and each comes with a soft protective rod sock and Cordura-covered case.

FLY REELS · LINES Although, by comparison to other reel designs, fly reels are relatively simple, the demands placed upon them can be exacting and extreme. Here at G.Loomis we understand this, and all models are engineered to withstand continuous use in a wide variety of situations. Lightweight aluminium construction and micro adjustable disc drags are common features, as is the engineering excellence associated with G.Loomis.

STREAMDANCE WF
EASTFORK WF
A family of four phenomenally good looking fly reels that are strong, lightweight, durable and fitted with 2 shielded A-RB bearings + 1 roller bearing for greater resistance against corrosion/ oxidisation. Both spools incorporate a push button quick release and wooden counter-balanced handle. The multi-disc, waterproof drag has an ambidextrous quick-change system. Supplied with bespoke reel case and 1 spare cold-forged, double anodised spool as standard.
• The Streamdance flylines have been made with special running edges along the full length of the line which greatly improve slickness and reduce friction against the rings. • The new braided core has a very low level of stretch for improved energy transfer, line control, sensitivity and low memory. • The high aerodynamic profi le and the extra-long head significantly increases accuracy, control and presentation at any distance. • At larger sizes the Streamdance is an excellent single hand spey line.
• The EastFork is an all-round flyline designed to suit most fishing conditions. • The line features an easy loading design at the head able to punch out both light and weighted flies. • Built on a braided core for virtually zero memory. • Available as a high quality floating, intermediate, double taper, or full density compensated fast sinker. • Overall, a range that represents outstanding value for money.

It excels at fishing in tight surroundings. • Loops on both ends for easy connection. • Available in floating with 15’ intermediate tip and 15’ sinking VI tip.
• The NativeRun marries perfectly with today’s fast action rods. • The special taper design loads the rod quickly for accurate casts and works like a shooting head when you need to achieve long distance with minimum effort. • The braided core has very low level of stretch for improving energy transfer, line control & sensitivity. • Available in six different densities.
The Skagit Dyno flylines suit many situations but were specifically designed for use in tight conditions, where there is limited space for “D” loops. They allow you to fish at various depths by using different lengths of level sinking line. The length and weight of the head has been designed in order to match perfectly with the G.Loomis Dredger series of rods. The lines enable Spey anglers to cast easily at short, medium and long distance. • Both ends feature ultra strong welded loops. • Interchangeable tips. • Available for both two-handed and single handed rods (Shooting Head).

JIG & WORM SERIES
JIG & WORM RODS - SPINNING
We all know largemouth bass are cover-oriented creatures. They seek very specific comfort levels, dramatically influenced by water temperature, bait activity and oxygen content. Find all three and you’ve found bass fishing’s nirvana. Although controlling the conditions is challenging, you can improve your chances by fishing these rods no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
With the success and demand of the Jig & Worm Series rods we’re offering Jig & Worm MossyBack. Made with a special blend of graphite and designed with the same tapers giving them the same great actions. With Fuji® Alconite guides, these rods are available in the Jig & Worm, Carolina Rig, and Flipping Sticks.
LENGTH: 6’8” | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Small worm/jig head combos, 5” grubs, small topwaters, little jigs, gin-clear water, just enough wind to make casting to finicky bass,tough. A tough proposition? You bet! Here’s our answer: an ultra-sensitive spinning rod designed especially for finesse fishing.
The actions are very fast, enabling you to use a much shorter casting stroke that just loads and locks. Not having to wait for the rod to load results in more accuracy and repetition. The GLX models feature, super-lightweight, (nickel titanium alloy) RECOIL® line guides. These guides are extremely tough, flexible, and provide a noticeable reduction in overall rod weight.
Model
The butt ends are made from a super durable composite cork. Compared to traditional rubber ends, they are very quiet when bounced against a boat surface. And the rounded edge results in friendlier contact with the rib cage.
We’ve pushed the boundaries as far as we ever have with these rods. The first thing you’ll notice with these jig & worm rods is the action. They have a much faster taper which lowers your casting trajectory, providing more accuracy and far better line/lure control. Casting into tight spots or any small opening in heavy cover is one thing, but pulling an oversized largemouth out of that same pocket is quite another. Th is calls for moving the power zone up towards the tip, making the overall rod stiffer. We’ve managed to address this without adding any additional weight. Numerous field testers can attest to fishing all day long, hardly remembering holding a rod in their hands.
The core of the Jig & Worm Series is, well, what else… the “Jig & Worm” rods! We offer six MossyBack 6’8” models ranging from 2 to 4-power for pitching jigs and worms. Two longer, more versatile 7’1” models, ranging from 2 to 5-powers, that extend casting range and line control for deeper water.
GLX MossyBack
LENGTH: 6’8” | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING When you need to fish lighter line or smaller, lighter baits in really clear water, a spinning rod is a great option. Not just any spinning rod. One with a truly extra-fast taper for accurate, pinpoint casts and enough beef to move a fish away from trouble in spite of the whisper-thin line.

NEW CAROLINA RIG
FLIPPING STICKS
JERKBAIT SERIES
Our Carolina Rig rods are designed to make throwing those long leaders and heavy weights much easier. It’s a long rod (7’3”) with long rear grips for total, two-handed casting control. The added length also increases casting distance so you can cover more water, as well as a long arcing rod sweep for positive hooksetting power.
If “flipping” is one of your favorite techniques, we think our new GLX flipping rod can be described with one word – astonishing! First of all, it is a onepiece and very powerful, yet so light you’ll wonder how we did it.
Fishing jerkbaits, whether early in the spring or later in the year requires a lot of confidence. You have to believe the fish are there and you must be patient. In cold water, it’s a pull, pause, pull, pause, technique with lots of emphasis on the pause. Sometimes it’s as long as 30 to 40 seconds of just letting the lure suspend. Th is is a deadly technique, especially with smallmouth early in the season. You need a rod with a light, responsive tip that allows you to fish the bait properly without sacrificing power. These rods are designed with fast tips and progressive tapers in the mid-section so the angler can work the lures correctly with minimal effort. Effective for spots, largemouth or smallmouth, it all relates to water temperature. When it’s cold, you fish very slow, when it’s warmer, you speed things up quite a bit. Sometimes you need to be super aggressive with the lure movement and this rod has the power to do that and still not overload it, but when you need to be subtle, the tip is light enough and responsive enough to impart a slight twitch if that’s what it takes to get the fish going. There is plenty of reserve power in the butt-section for getting fish heading your way.
LENGTH: 7’5” | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Imagine a rod so light you can flip all day long. One-piece construction eliminates even more weight and the titanium Recoil® guides… well, you get the picture. If not, try one out and decide for yourself whether this isn’t the lightest, most responsive, most sensitive flipping stick you’ve ever fished.
LENGTH: 7’3” | PIECES: 1 | CASTING The magnum Carolina Rig rod. A slightly longer rear grip for two-handed casting control and the overall rod length provides much more positive hooksets. Th is is the magnum version to get fish out of the thick stuff. Model MossyBack

NEW CRANKBAIT DEEP FLEX
CRANKBAIT SERIES
Our Deep Flex (DF) crankbait rods are a totally new (2010) design that creates a much slower taper and softer flex. They are incredibly light and provide unbelievable sensitivity and lure control. The softer flex improves the lure’s action. The softer rod allows you to work the lure over or around the cover, the way it was designed to, which is far more attractive to the fish. Bass actually suck the lure in by flushing a large amount of water through their gills, bringing the lure along with it. Rods with too fast an action can actually pull the bait away from the bass and not allow the natural “flow” to occur, resulting in short strikes, poor hook-ups and missed fish. Another advantage is that the softer action is very forgiving when the fish runs. Now it’s time to get excited. Crankbait anglers have never had it so good!
Our Crankbait Series rods incorporate all the elements of the best fibreglass crankbait rods, but with all the added benefits of graphite. These rods have a soft, yet dynamic action that allows your lure to work perfectly and allows the fish to inhale the bait, but unlike fibreglass rods, they’re incredibly light, super responsive, and extremely sensitive. Their reduced weight makes them far less tiring to cast. They’re sensitive enough that you can feel a bass suck in a suspended jerkbait and they recover quickly so you won’t have to worry about keeping your line tight when a fish jumps. In other words, you gain all the advantages of graphite with the action and flexibility of glass. Each rod in the series is crafted in a gorgeous metallic copper finish. These are truly state-of-the-art crankbait rods. LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Th is is a beautiful rod for throwing medium-size crankbaits and surface lures. It’s awesome for deep-diving lures like the smaller Fat Free Shad and Wiggle Warts. It works well in close quarters thanks to its shorter length. Th is rod really shines with big stickbaits. It loads easily, it’s extremely lightweight, and it has more than enough power to handle big fish.
LENGTH: 6’ 8” | POWER: MEDIUM | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Th is is a good rod for fishing small to medium-sized lipless crankbaits, deep-divers and shallow runners. It’s perfect for fishing crankbaits in open water. Its soft flex and slow taper really gives the lure a lot more action. It is extremely accurate for close-quarter work. If you are one of those anglers that think fibreglass is the answer, then you need to try this rod. It has all the “advantages” glass gives you at half the weight and talk about sensitive… it adds another whole dimension to fishing crankbaits. Model Crankbait Full Flex

LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING If you fish medium-size crankbaits you’ll love the GL10532-01. It’s great for deep-diving lures like a Fat Free Shad, and it’ll throw a Rattle Trap the proverbial country mile. Stout enough to handle buzzbaits, the slower action allows fish to engulf the bait, yet still has the power to turn a lunker away from trouble.
LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 5 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING When fishing larger deep-diving crankbaits, this is the rod you’ll want. It’s extremely light and sensitive enough that you can feel a big bass just look at your bait, and so responsive you’ll be ready for every move he makes. The slow action allows your bait to work perfectly and lets the fish catch up with it. And the 5-power rating means there’s plenty of muscle once you hook into that proverbial monster of the deep.
LENGTH: 7’ 2” | POWER: MEDIUM | PIECES: 1 | CASTING When you need a little more casting distance and lure control, this 7’2” rod is just the ticket. It has the right combination of length and power for fishing ½ ounce lipless crankbaits and medium to large-sized deep divers. It is extremely forgiving which not only enhances the action of the lure, but keeps you from pulling hooks free when a bass jumps or makes a quick burst for cover. Light, sensitive and extremely efficient, this is the rod you’ve been looking for. Model
Each rod in the series is crafted in a gorgeous metallic copper finish. These are truly state-of-the-art crankbait rods.

All lightweight, durable Fuji Alconite guides stacked forward to protect the line during extreme rod flex. Fuji “blank-thru-handle” triggered reel seats are on the casting rods. Our own custom spinning reel seats allow you to mount the reel forward so you can touch the blank above the cork for additional sensitivity.

SPINNERBAIT SERIES
LENGTH: 6’9” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Need a bigger blade or more bulk in the dirty water? Th is is the rod you’ll turn to. Want to fish a bait that looks like a school of fish? Th is is the rod! Want a rod to pull a ten-pounder out of the junk? Th is is the rod! Want a rod to increase your strike to hook ratio? Th is is the rod! Want a rod that puts you in control and keeps you there? Th is is the rod! Want a rod for slow-rolling big blades? Th is is the rod! Our point? THIS IS A VERY GOOD SPINNERBAIT ROD!
Like lots of successful techniques in bass fishing, the keys are repetition and consistency. Any one of a thousand casts could be the fish of a lifetime, so consistently placing your bait in the zone is extremely important. These rods are accurate and powerful, yet so light even the softest strike feels like an explosion. There are seven rods designed specifically to fish blades like they’re meant to be fished, with power-ratings varying from light to heavy and lengths from 6’3” all the way up to 7’2”. Extra-fast tips give you the ability to snap casts in and around all types of cover, with an extremely powerful butt-section to keep even the biggest bass away from trouble. Fuji Alconite guides and “blank through” Fuji ESC reel seats (except the GL11279-01, which has a standard trigger reel seat) combine with rear grip lengths to make them both comfortable and efficient. Finished in a deep red with dark contrasting wraps.

LENGTH: 6’9” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING When you’re fishing rocky ledges, outcroppings or main lake points in clear or slightly stained water, and the fish want a smaller bait, this is the rod of choice. Its extra length extends your casting range and gives you better control of your lures in deeper water. When a big fish nabs your bait, the powerful butt-section locks up and says “NO!” It’s a long-range, finesse angler’s style of rod, smooth yet powerful, light and super sensitive.
LENGTH: 6’3” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING It’s designed to fish smaller spinnerbaits, but has more than enough power in the butt-section to handle big surprises. The light tip makes it an extremely easy rod to cast and it’s as accurate as they come. Single or tandem spinnerbaits up to 3/8 ounce give you a lot of flexibility in any water and with this rod you’ll swear that you can feel every turn of the blade. Model

SWIMBAIT
SWIMBAIT Big baits mean big fish! That’s two very good reasons why we developed our line of swimbait rods. There are guys out there that have devoted their lives to pursuing double-digit monsters. We’ve teamed up with them, learned from their experience, shared their secrets, and digested what they believe is needed for the ultimate in a swimbait rod. These rods are the result and they cover the gamut of baits styles and sizes. They are designed to fish soft and hard plastic baitfish imitators and in the case of largemouth bass, especially really big largemouth bass – other finny delicacies – like trout, small bass and panfish. We make our rear grips extra long so you can tuck the rod butt under your arm rather than having it jab you in the ribs, which can be annoying as well as painful. The extra handle length also provides leverage to improve casting distance and control, not to mention handling the big bass you’ll be catching. Don’t forget the net! LENGTH: 7’6” | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING A slightly shorter swimbait rod designed primarily for the smaller baits and open water applications. It’s so light you won’t believe the power it generates. It is extremely sensitive and casts those smaller sized baits a “country mile”.

THE CLASSICS
THE CLASSICS Thanks to G.Loomis, fishing has gone beyond being an infectious sport. You could call it an addiction of sorts, which has pushed us to create our family of casting and spinning rods that have remained the favorites for millions of anglers worldwide. We call these The Classics. These are the technological wonders that put G.Loomis at the top. Nothing added, nothing taken away, these rods simply get the job done. They hold your first fishing memories and never become outdated for your next. In other words, they do a great job of maintaining and feeding your addiction.
CASTING There’s been a trend in the past few years toward longer rods and it’s a valid one, especially since a lot of our lakes lose their cover as they mature and the brush and trees die off . Long rods are great when you’re fishing open water with plenty of casting room, but when you start moving to the bank and the cover gets in the way, those long rods just won’t cut it. Th is is where our Casting Rods shine. Shorter than their Mag Bass cousins, they have the same fast actions and responsive tips you need for low trajectory, accurate casts. LENGTH: 6’ | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING A fast-action rod with a light power rating designed to protect light lines, yet still have the power to move large fish. The softer tip increases casting accuracy, making it easy to snap-cast small to medium-sized baits at difficult targets like pocket water and boat docks. Great for fishing crystalclear water that doesn’t have a lot of heavy cover, where light line is an advantage. The length allows you flexibility for casting and depth control, while the light action is a perfect balance between flexibility and strength: soft enough to allow fish to inhale the lure, yet enough power to control the fish. Great for finesse fishing where presentation is key and lighter line is the rule.
Classics Mag Bass Handle Options 3 4
MAG BASS When it comes to performance and all-around fishability, the Mag Bass rods are our pride and joy. These rods, originally designed for pitching jigs and worms for largemouth bass, have been discovered by walleye anglers, smallmouth enthusiasts, pike chasers and even light-duty saltwater folks. They’re fast-action rods with a powerful, magnum butt-section that gives you increased casting range, more effective hook sets (especially in deep water) and superior fish-fighting control. Fuji reel seats, with our “mag touch” exposed blank near the trigger gives you superior sensitivity as well as better casting control. You’ll find yourself using these rods for everything... jigs, plastic worms, soft jerkbaits, and whacky worms. They are available in a wide range of lengths and powers, plus the more popular models come in all four graphite performance levels.
LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Th is is a powerful, fast-action rod, making it a good choice for most jigging applications, including shallow-water pitching, deep-water jigging and plastic worms. Designed for largemouth bass, but it doubles nicely for big northerns and light-duty muskie fishing. The tip is stiff with a magnum butt for moving large fish in heavy cover. It excels in brushy, tree-choked areas where you need a powerful rod to get the fish to the boat. It’s also the perfect choice for fishing heavy jigs or large plastic worms in deep water where “feel” is paramount, and for heavyduty spoon-jigging when your ability to set the hook in deep water is especially important.
LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 5 | PIECES: 1 | CASTING Welcome to the “mega” jig rod in the Mag Bass Series. When you pitch a jig into a small, brushy opening, you have to pull the fish out of that same hole. And when those fish are 5lb plus largemouths, you rod had better be stout. It requires a rod with plenty of backbone. One that’s light enough to use all day, yet quickly reacts with authority. It has a magnum fast taper with an extra-strong tip, which means when you move the rod, the fish comes with it.

THE CLASSICS Classics Spin Jig Handle Options
CLASSICS SPIN JIG
21
A real bass fisherman never, but never, admitted using a spinning rod, unless it was for panfish, and even then it was iff y. But times are changing and so are techniques. First out of the closet were the die-hard smallmouth anglers. They favoured the spinning rod because they used lighter line and smaller lures to fool those super-cautious brown bass. Then, as finesse fishing came into play, more and more anglers found the spinning rod to be the perfect solution for the clear water lakes where spotted bass and smallmouths abound. The only negative was that nobody ever really offered the nice, fast-action rods that the casting crowd enjoyed. That was until we introduced the Spin Jig Series. It’s the unique blend of dynamic tapers and super-sensitive materials that helped make these the rod of choice for serious light line anglers. Grubs, small worms, hair jigs, split shot rigs, “mojo” rigs... you name it, the spin jig rod is a great option.

A good choice for fishing plastic worms or grubs in deep water, especially in moderate cover where more power is required. “Schoolie” stripers don’t stand a chance. If you want one rod to fish a lot of different situations, this is the one.
LENGTH: 6’ | POWER: 00 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Th is rod incorporates an ultra-light tip and a strong butt-section, making it a very good choice for spotted bass—especially where smaller lures and lighter line make a difference. Perfectly balanced for 1/8 ounce grubs and jigs with 6-pound line, this rod is better for swimming jigs than bouncing them on the bottom. The tip is soft enough to fish 4-pound line and really light baits, like tube jigs and crappie jigs, even when you downsize to 1/32 ounce. When those bass get tough and you can see the bottom in ten feet of water, this rod will save your bacon. Model IMX

GL10468-01
LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Here’s an excellent all-around spinning rod. A great choice for northerns and big, deep-water bass, the GL10225-01 has a medium-heavy tip and a fast taper that deliver both long range casts and the power necessary to fish Carolina rigs. It’s a good deep-water worm and jig rod, especially in tailwater situations where some current is involved. The quick taper gives you better control in the wind and increases hook-setting power for live bait applications. Model IMX GL3
LENGTH: 6’ | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Our most powerful freshwater spinning rod. Designed to pull oversized fish out of heavy cover, built with IMX graphite, it’s very light-you can fish it all day with minimal fatigue. The 6-foot length allows low trajectory, accurate casts, and more than enough muscle to move large fish away from trouble. You’ll appreciate the sensitivity and power for deep-water jig and spoon fishing. Model
Handle
LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING The GL10468-01 has a fast taper for long-range casts and the perfect blend of power and feel for deepwater jigging. When you sweep the rod, a lot of line moves—and that makes it a good choice for heavyduty split-shotting and light-duty Carolina rigs. It makes an excellent buzzbait rod if you prefer spin fishing over casting, and the 7-foot length aids in ripping minnow baits over deep-water humps and points.
LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING A specialty rod for fishing lighter line on large streams and clear, deep-water lakes. The extra length creates a wider arc and increased tip speed, giving you greater casting distance. It also moves more line during the hook set, critical to success in deep-water situations. Designed to fish smaller lures—especially in open-water situations where light line makes a difference. A terrific deep-water crappie rod for big, brush-fi lled lakes where you might need slightly heavier tackle.
LENGTH: 6’ | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING A powerful spinning rod designed to fish deep-water situations with jigging spoons, grubs and plastic worms, the GL10212-01 makes a great rod in light to medium-heavy cover. The fast taper allows you to move fish away from snags and still offers maximum accuracy and lure control. We rate it for up to 15-pound line, but it’s probably best suited to 12-pound test. Its powerful butt-section and tip make it a good choice for deep-water situations where sensitivity and fast recovery are paramount to success. Model
LENGTH: 6’ 6” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING The 2-piece version of one of our most popular warmwater spinning rods. Th is rod handles everything it’s 1-piece brother can, in a convenient 2-piece size.
LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 2 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING One of our most versatile warmwater spinning rods, the GL10502-01 has a fast taper for a more positive hook set and greater casting distance. The extra length provides better line and lure control, especially in deep water, where slack line may cost you a fish. A good choice for fishing minnow baits like the Long-A and Rapala, and the preferred rod for split-shotting worms and grubs. If your preference for bass is spin over cast, this is a great rod.
LENGTH: 6’ | POWER: 2 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Th is is our most popular warmwater spinning rod. It boasts a fast action and a strong tip, giving you plenty of versatility for fishing a variety of lures and live baits. Best paired with 10-pound line, this is an excellent choice for fishing Long-As or Rapalas, as well as 1/4-ounce lead-heads for swimming salt grubs. It’s also a good rod for 4-inch “Texas-style” worm rigs or tube jigs. There’s plenty of power to set the hook, and it handles big fish extremely well, yet it’s light enough to enjoy smaller-sized fish, no problem. If you prefer spinning rods, you’ll appreciate the accuracy and flexibility this rod offers. Model

WALLEYE / PIKE
WALLEYE & PIKE Pike and walleye fishermen have one thing in common; fanaticism. One, focusing on the feel of every rock, weed and subtle strike; the other, accuracy to place every one of ten thousand casts precisely with the power to navigate heavy cover. Both our muskie and walleye ranges are engineered to perform for every specific application encountered in the pursuit of these elusive species. We offer twelve models of walleye rods, in both spin and cast, that cover every major technique – jigging, rigging, trolling, bottom bouncing, and cranking. One thing remains constant throughout the range – nowhere will you find a lighter, more advanced collection of rods made especially for walleye. For pike hunters, there’s a short jerkbait rod for heavy cover, a jerkbait rod for open water, rods for every conceivable bucktail, and even a trolling rod for the big lakes and serious plug pullers. After all, if you score your day on follows and swirls and cast all week for one strike, at least you want to have an enjoyable rod to fish with.
Nickel titanium RECOIL® guides feature on all the Walleye series.
… it’s about the product, performance, people and their passion for excellence.
NEW WALLEYE SERIES LENGTH: 6’ 3” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING JIG ROD Th is fast-action, light-power spinning rod is designed to fish small jigs, grubs and live bait with the ultimate in sensitivity. Crafted from high-modulus graphite, the tip gives you the flexibility to cast light jigs, while the butt-section has the power to handle big fish. Nicely balanced with 6 or 8-pound test, this model is just slightly longer for more casting distance and lure control. Model

MUSKIE
NEW MUSKIE SERIES When it takes, on the average, 10,000 casts to catch one of these toothy critters, you’d better have your game on and that includes the right equipment. Muskie are so elusive anglers are happy to have a couple of “follows” during a day on the water. The lures are big, the line is heavy and the rods have to be powerful to handle them, not to mention the fish. These are ambush-oriented creatures that come out of nowhere to chase down the right bait when presented properly. They are explosive, tough fighters and you have to be aggressive, not to mention patient. If everything works perfectly… success! One false move and you go home wondering, “what if”. Muskies aren’t all giants, but even a small one is a challenge and the reward validates the risk. It’s a world of big baits and they are getting even bigger. Giant swimbaits, huge plugs, oversized in-line, bucktail spinners and huge spinnerbaits require long, powerful rods to cast and control these babies. It’s not a game for the faint of heart! We’ve spent a lot of time studying the fish, the lakes, the rivers and the anglers who call the Muskie their fish of choice. We’ve created a series of casting rods just for you die-hards that will do everything you ask and more. They aren’t your everyday Muskie rod, but then Muskies aren’t your everyday fish. These new rods are long, powerful, high performance fishing instruments designed specifically to fish the new hi-tech baits. You’ll cast farther, find them surprisingly light for all that power and be confident that when the “moment” happens you’ll be in total control. Carpe diem! LENGTH: 8’ | PIECES: 1 | CASTING JERKBAIT The Muskie Pike series of rods form a slimmed down range for the high end, hard core Pike angler. They’re physically light – not action light, with a lot of backbone to the upper third and have quick, very sensitive tips. These are big fish rods for casting big baits. Model

SPINNING RODS SPINNING RODS
A dynamic collection of light-duty and ultra-light freshwater spinning rods. We designed them primarily for panfish and trout, but they satisfy a variety of different applications like small in-line spinners for bass, darts and light jigs for shad, spinners for trout, small baits for bonefish, and even spoons for sea trout. They are lightduty all-around spinning rods with relatively soft butt-sections and light tips. None are rated for over 10-pound line and most are in the 4 to 6-pound test range. If you’re fishing in tight quarters or really small creeks, we’d suggest the shorter models, but if you frequent larger streams or ponds and lakes, we’d recommend the longer rods because they protect light line better and give you increased casting distance and a longer, more effective hook set.
LENGTH: 6’6” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING Designed to fish up to 10-pound test and lures of up to 3/8 ounce, this fast-action rod excels in strong currents and deep-water situations. It may not have the powerful butt that you’ll find in the Spin Jig Series, but it’s more than adequate for all but the largest takers. It also makes a pretty good finesse rod for warmwater species when lighter line is required, and it has the chops to handle pickerel, small pike and shad. Model GL3
LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING A great rod for shad, this fast-action, moderately powerful rod is designed to fish up to 10-pound test and lures up to 3/8 ounce in strong currents and deep water. It will handle small bass and walleye nicely, and it makes a good finesse rod for warm-water species when lighter line is a must. Model

The combination of the 7-foot length and the ultra-light action makes it a good deep-water panfish rod. And if you like to fish bubble/fly combinations for trout, this rod will certainly do the trick, especially with a smaller bubble. It’s also a nice rod for drifting single salmon eggs (or imitations) for trout in small streams. All in all, we consider this the perfect 4-pound test rod.
LENGTH: 8’ 6” | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING Big rivers, swift currents and hard fighting hawgs. These spinning rods are designed for the special needs of the Russian bank salmon fisherman. They allow you to make long effortless casts with everything from large spinners to small, weightless egg clusters. And with the sensitivity to feel subtleties of the drift, along with the strength to set the hook and land these large fish, you may find these to be the ultimate multi-purpose salmon rods.

SALMON SERIES
SALAR SALMON TROLLING
NEW
This is our home turf, salmon country. This is where we all grew up and learned how to fish. Our local customers, guides and staff are among the finest salmon fishermen in the world. So when we asked them how to make the ultimate salmon rods, they had plenty to say. We had countless conversations and came up with hundreds of designs and re-designs. Months of trials and field-testing resulted in the entire new lineup of salmon rods that fill this catalogue. Trolling, backbouncing, spinners, plugging, hovering or bank fishing, whatever your game, we’ve got you covered. These rods are powerful, light, sensitive and best of all, each one has an action specifically tailored for a technique that puts the chromers in the boat. Gone are the days of lugging around one big stick and making it work (sort of) for all your salmon fishing needs. You can measure the difference in pleasure on the water and number of fish in the net. Enjoy.
LENGTH: 9’ | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 2 | CASTING We now offer five mooching/trolling rods that address varying needs of length and strength. The longer rods are for the bow and the shorter rods for the stern to get that perfect spread and ultimate water coverage. Equipped with Fuji Alconite guides for lighter weight and lower profi le. All of our trolling rods have a forgiving moderate action to tame even the toughest big Chinook. Model Mooching

HOT SHOT RODS
Hot Shot Rod Handle Options
LENGTH: 8’6” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING Here’s a powerful two-piece spinning rod designed specifically for drift fishing Chinook salmon in large rivers. Because of its fast taper and powerful, magnum butt section, it has quickly become a favorite among hybrid and striper anglers as well—especially in estuary and jetty fisheries.
LENGTH: 7’6” | POWER: 00 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Th is rod was originally designed to back-troll small plugs for steelhead or silver salmon. But because of its light tip and powerful butt, it has quickly emerged as the rod of choice for serious walleye anglers fishing spinner/worm rigs. Saltwater flats fishermen also like the light tip for casting soft plastics, jigs or bait to cruising redfish and specks.
We designed these rods with light to medium tips and magnum-power butt sections, which make them excellent casting tools and even better fish-fighting tools. If you’re unfamiliar, the Hot Shot technique goes something like this... the angler positions his boat at the head of a run and allows the current to pull the plug down to the fish zone. The boat then sweeps across the current so the plug covers the entire width of the river (lure action is then monitored by watching the wiggle of the rod tip). When a fish hits, the magnum butt section actually sets the hook for you. The boat operator keeps tension on the fish until the angler can grab the rod from the holder. An extremely effective technique and a very versatile rod.

LENGTH: 8’2” | POWER: 2 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING When you’re pursuing summer run steelhead in tight quarters of coastal rivers and small streams, the shorter, light-action of the GL11668-01 is ideal. It effortlessly casts light drift baits and corkies with the minimum weight needed to work low clear drifts and pools. It also provides a little less to deal with if you’re fishing from a tube or pontoon boat. Model Steelhead

LENGTH: 8’8” | POWER: 5 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING With a little more backbone to throw heavy spoons and spinners from the bank, the GL11670-01 is a great high-water, winter steelheader. With sufficient power to move big fish, it’s not only a good choice for large winter run steelies in swift currents, but works well for small salmon like silvers and chums. Model
Handle
LENGTH: 9’ | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING When the water drops to a low, gin clear summer flow, this rod will allow you to fish the small hooks and light weights required to avoid spooking the most selective feeders.
LENGTH: 9’ | POWER: 2 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING A very nice light-action summer-run steelhead rod, designed to fish 6 to 10-pound line in low, clear water conditions. It has a light, responsive tip with a fairly soft midsection that allows you to lob small lures or bait to spooky fish. The butt section, however, is still fairly powerful, allowing you to handle large fish as well.
LENGTH: 8’8” | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING Our best all-around steelhead rod may be the most accurate description for this rod. Th is is a great choice for fishing small to medium-sized rivers. A surprisingly strong rod that casts with precision and provides the strength to work the fish, even when some brute suddenly decides to spend one more year in the salt. Model
LENGTH: 9’ | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING Like its casting cousin this new spinning version is designed for big summer-run steelies and small salmon. It balances nicely with 8 to 10-pound line. In fact, you can drop all the way down to 6-pound test, yet still have the power to handle a 20-pound steelhead.
LENGTH: 9’6” | POWER: 1 | PIECES: 2 | SPINNING The ultimate light-line steelhead drift rod. The perfect action to handle 6-pound line and a subtle power, much like a fly rod, that tires fish quickly. We originally designed this rod for the western technique known as boondogging. The technique requires a more forgiving rod, because the fish will drop the bait the minute it feels any resistance. Th is rod is soft enough to let you “see” the strike before the fish has time to react. A good bank rod, a great boat rod!
When you need to nail a drift against the other bank, you need distance. When you need to stick it in the foam to get the right line, you need accuracy. When you need to do it all day long, you need less weight. When it’s all paid off with a bite you might never feel, you need sensitivity. The Steelhead Series brings it all. These rods are lighter and more sensitive, the actions are faster than we’ve ever offered in a steelhead rod and they’re longer for greater distance and line control. They’re capped with super durable composite cork butt ends which are quiet in a boat, and rib cage friendly. And with a stunning finish, and you’ve got the ultimate steelheaders arsenal.
LENGTH: 9’ | POWER: 6 | PIECES: 2 | CASTING While technically this is a big-water steelhead rod, its 9 feet of muscle give you plenty of flexibility for almost any sea-run species, including big Chinook salmon. If you fish Alaska or any of the big rivers of the Northwest, it’s a great drift rod that will handle big plugs well, too. Model GL2

LENGTH: 10’6” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 2 | CASTING The extra power of this rod will get you steelhead in larger rivers—especially drift fishermen who require long casts to reach those slots on the far bank. Th is rod is powerful enough for light-duty mooching for silvers, and it’s an especially good float rod.

SALTWATER SPINNING RODS You may have noticed that fishing rods tend to look like the fish they’re built to pursue. Trout rods are long and sleek. Bass rods, short and powerful. And saltwater rods are, well, to see this analogy through you’ll have to turn the pages. From looking at everyone else’s rods, it would seem that they think fish in the ocean are big, slow, mule-headed oafs. But we know better. Our saltwater rods represent what the fish in the ocean are truly like. Sure, our rods are big, but they’re sleek too. Powerful. Fast. Like a tuna. Our saltwater rods. designed with the help of seasoned pros on both coasts, are lighter, tougher and more sensitive than anything else you’ll cast into the salt. If you want to catch big, dull fish, stick with one of those other rods. If you want to catch big, fast, powerful fish, try one of ours.

PRO GREEN

PRO GREEN SERIES The Pro Green Series is a special set of inshore saltwater rods created for anglers preferring to fish small jigs, soft plastics and any number of artificial baits, including topwaters for a myriad of saltwater species. A great choice for school-sized blues and stripers along the Atlantic Coast as well as redfish, seatrout, permit, bonefish, snook and small tarpon in Florida and the Gulf coast, these rods offer a surprising blend of power, light weight and sensitivity.
LENGTH: 7’ 4” | POWER: 3 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING When accuracy is still important, but you need to back off of the fish because they’re extra spooky or the water is really clear, the extra length is a big plus. It’s designed for bigger fish, heavier cover and bigger baits.
LENGTH: 6’ 10” | POWER: 2 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Th is rod is designed to allow short, accurate casts in and around cover, especially in the mangroves where you need to keep the bait under overhanging limbs. It’s designed to fish lighter jigs and small to medium topwaters. Model Pro Green PGR822S

There are three different power-ratings and three different rod lengths offered to cover the variety of water depths and conditions each region offers. They aren’t meant to replace the softer, more delicate action of the popping rod, but to give the angler an option for aggressively fishing artificials. The faster actions of the Pro Green Series give wading and boat anglers more positive line and lure control. Designed to create quick, accurate “snap casts” to visible targets or long prospecting casts where covering water is more important, these rods have powerful butt sections to move big fish with ease and are still light enough to fish them all day long with minimal fatigue.

LIVE BAIT
LIVE BAIT RODS
If you currently fish a Popping rod, but want to move into a little deeper water, chasing larger fish with heavier line, these live bait rods are the answer. Powerful enough to handle a multitude of saltwater situations—from bluewater to bays, mangrove-laced coves to open flats—they are lightweight, precision fishing tools. Whether you’re tossing pinfish to tarpon or dropping jigs around a shipwreck for small grouper, you’ll find these rods surprisingly powerful and as tough and durable as they come. They’re extremely versatile, giving you the option to pitch live bait, cut bait, lures and leadhead jigs, and they’re especially effective around boat docks, bridges or heavy cover in the back country.
CORRECT ROD ASSEMBLY 1. Insert the tip of the butt section into the butt of the tip section with the guides offset by 90º as shown below. 2. Align the guides by firmly twisting the butt until the sections are tight. 3. Check tightness by attempting to pull the sections straight apart without twisting. If the connection holds, they’re tight enough. To disassemble, simply reverse by twisting apart.
WARRANTY & ROD CARE
NEVER USE THE GUIDES FOR LEVERAGE WHEN ASSEMBLING OR DISASSEMBLING THE ROD.
TIPS Here are a few tips for keeping your rod performing at the highest level for many years to come. • Store our rod in its case, out of the sun and weather. Make sure it’s completely dry before storing. • Dogs love to chew on the cork, and so do children, well it’s better to just keep it away from both. • Lubricate reel seats with a small amount of WD40®or similar corrosion inhibitor. • To avoid added stress on the rod it’s best to disassemble it when bushwhacking and when entering boats and cars. • Never reel weights or baits all the way to the rod tip. Th is may damage the tip-top or fracture the tip of the blank. • Always follow the line rating for your rod. Exceeding the line rating is like ‘red lining’ your car’s engine: it may cause the rod to fail. • To free a snag, point the rod tip directly at the snag area and pull back along the axis of the rod, putting the stress on the reel instead of the rod. Th is will either dislodge the snag or break your leader, but your rod will be saved. Never attempt to free a snag with your rod tip, unless your lure costs over £50. • Have fun, after all you’re fishing.
LENGTH: 7’ | POWER: 4 | PIECES: 1 | SPINNING Designed to fish up to 20-pound line and up to 2-ounce lures or live bait, this is one powerful spinning rod. It’s strong enough to handle tarpon and other oversized creatures, and especially good for catching small grouper or snapper. It has large-diameter guides for fishing heavier line and a fairly stiff tip, making it a powerful fish-fighting tool that is surprisingly light. Model GL2

All rods are supplied with a free 2 year manufacturers guarantee against any defects for workmanship or materials from the date of purchase, during which time G.Loomis guarantee to the original purchaser that it will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Th is warranty is limited to repair or replacement and does not cover consequential or incidental damage or loss.

• To request warranty repair send your complete rod, reel or accessory postage prepaid, to G Loomis’s authorised after sales outlet - Felindre Servicing. For all claims a proof of purchase ( original, dated invoice or receipt ) will be required. No claims will be handled without this documentation. Please note that retailers and wholesale outlets for our products are not authorised to perform warranty repairs or exchanges on behalf of G.Loomis, nor are they authorised to modify this warranty in any way. A note of your registered post code and house number/name must accompany all repair requests.

Never over-stress your rod in one spot. Th is often happens when setting the hook, playing a fish close to the boat or shore, or dead lifting a fish into the boat. Bending the tip at a severe angle in this manner transfers all the stress to a single area, potentially causing the blank to fail. Rods are designed to handle stress over the entire length of the blank and should be flexed with this in mind.
• If your G.Loomis rod or reel should be found to require repairs outside of this warranty coverage, we will contact you to advise you on the cost of repair and/or replacement cost of parts/sections and return shipping charge.
