G▪Loomis

Fast-action rod blanks 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.

Our Salmon and Steelhead lineup is no less than you'd expect from a rod company born and bred in the heart of salmon and steelhead country. We'd be willing to bet that our employees have (per capita) caught more salmon and steelhead than any rod company in the world. Our experience has helped us create the finest salmon and steelhead rod blanks in the industry. No matter what type of water you fish, we make a great blank for every technique.

These blanks 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!

Whether tossing the largest plug for oversized bucketmouths, the tiniest jig for those finicky brown bass or casting all week long for that one muskie, we have the right blank for you. Through extensive research on and off the water, we've figured how to give you what you need down to the smallest detail, whether it be feather-light materials, fast-action tapers, durability, or all three.

Our saltwater rod blanks, 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.

G-Loomis fly rod blanks are rated for weight forward lines. Ratings are the same for double taper line and keeping a lot of line in the air, you should move down one size. If you are using a shooting taper of casting very short distances, move up one line size. For example a 9' blank, rated for a #5 line balances at 35-40 feet with a 9' leader, but if you frequently make casts of less than 30-feet, you may want to move up to a # 6 line.
