G. Loomis Classic Live Bait Rods - The Live Bait Series is an extension of the popping rod series in
spinning. They are made to fish the waters in between the flats and the
open ocean. Bays, lagoons, shallow ledges and cuts. If you're looking
for a rod that will fish a little deeper water, handle heavier line and
catch a little bigger fish, these are just what you are looking for.
Whether you're tossing pinfish for tarpon or dropping jigs around
shallow wrecks for small grouper, you'll find them surprisingly powerful
and as tough as any rod we make. These rods are extremely versatile.
You can fish the bridges, the mangroves or the deep-water passes.
They're both 7-footers, designed fish fish lures up to two ounces and
line up to 20-pound test. We rate them in the medium to heavy category.
They cast plugs, leadheads or live-bait and give you all the power you
need to succeed. Both come with cork grips and a graphite barreled
reel seat. Surprisingly light for all this power, they'll give you a
lifetime of fishing fun and excitement. Shop G. Loomis Classic Live Bait Rods
G. Loomis Classic Popping Spinning Rods - The Popping Rod series was originally designed to cast live shrimp under
a popping cork for saltwater flats species like seatrout and redfish.
As anglers will, they quickly discovered these rods worked exceptionally
for fishing soft plastics and small jigs for bonefish, small snook and
other flats regulars. They have soft tips that allow the bait to land
quietly, even on long casts. They come in various lengths for different
fishing applications including artificial lures such as spoons,
bucktails or surface lures. In spite of their featherweight feel, these
are surprisingly strong rods capable of handling large fish, including
that occasional small tarpon or oversized snook. They feature quality
cork handles, Fuji reel seats and Fuji guides. The reel seats have
blank-thru construction, with a “cutaway” in front of the trigger,
exposing the blank for additional sensitivity on the casting models.
Actions vary from moderate-fast to extra-fast. Guides are oversize to
allow for heavy knots and shock tippets. There are eight 1-piece and two
2-piece spinning models, along with four 1-piece casting models. Shop G. Loomis Classic Popping Spinning Rods
G. Loomis Greenwater Spinning Rods - Picture yourself on a beautiful emerald green saltwater flat in the
Bahamas, fishing for bonefish or maybe a little deeper slot near the
edge of the flats in sunny Cancun. Better yet, suppose you've just
poled onto a big flat near the 7-Mile bridge. OK... WAKE UP!! We're
just setting the mood here. How often do you find rods that are not
only made for a very specific fishery, but also reflect that image in
the color of the blank. That's what our Greenwater Series is all about.
It's more than just a great light saltwater fishing rod, it's a fishing
experience. The core models feature our proprietary "fiber blend
technology" and have Fuji chrome Alconite guides. Three models offer the
ultimate in light weight and sensitivity with our proprietary GLX
performance. They feature the light and virtually indestructible Recoil
guides. These are not your normal shallow-water rods - these are high
performance spinning and casting rods designed to fish in the skinny
water where the fish come to eat. We put these rods in three groups...
the "standard" Greenwater rods (GWR) for fishing live or cut bait; the
"popping" Greenwater rods (GWPR) for bait or small soft plastics and the
"magnum taper" Greenwater rods (GWMR) for fishing spoons, soft plastic
jerkbaits and jigs. There are a few models here that are designed for
bigger fish and a little deeper water. They're all light weight,
sensitive and sneaky powerful! Shop G. Loomis Greenwater Spinning Rods
G. Loomis Pro-Blue Spinning Rods - Knowing that you might run into a genuine “monster of the deep” at any
time is what makes saltwater fishing special. It’s what makes you go
back, time after time, sea-sickness be damned. It’s the competition and
the quarry, it’s big fish on “not so big” gear, it’s kicking your
buddy’s butt time after time or just sharing “quiet time” on the water.
No matter what your excuse, saltwater fishing can be about as exciting
as it gets. Our goal is to help you enjoy the experience, but it
doesn’t have to be work. Pro Blue stand-up rods are designed to make
your day on the water a lot more enjoyable. At the end of the day, we’d
rather have you concentrating on photographs and memories, not sore
muscles. These aren’t your average stand-up rods. They’re a blend of
the traditional flats rods and bay rods with cork handles, heavy-duty
Fuji reel seats, Fuji guides and blanks designed with dynamic,
fast-actions that allow you to wrestle big fish without any distractions
or malfunctions. These are truly specialized rods. We put a lot of
effort in their design and we’re confident you’ll feel the difference
immediately. They may feel like lightweights because they are, but
there’s a power so intense and so mystical that you’ll wonder how we did
it. That’s our secret and your advantage. Shop G. Loomis Pro-Blue Spinning Rods
G. Loomis Pro Green Series Inshore Spinning Rods - The Pro Green Series is a special set of inshore saltwater rods created
for anglers that prefer to fish small jigs, soft plastics and any number
of artificial baits, including topwaters for myriad saltwater species
on the flats. A great choice for blues and stripers along the Atlantic
Coast as well as redfish, seatrout, permit, bonefish, snook and small
tarpon in Florida and all along the Gulf coast, these rods offer a
unique blend of power, light weight and sensitivity. There are four
power-ratings and three different rods lengths offered to cover a
variety of water depths and conditions. They aren’t meant to replace
the softer, more delicate action of the popping rod, but offer the
anglers an option for aggressively fishing artificials and using the new
super braids like Power Pro. The faster actions of the Pro Green
Series give wading and boat anglers, alike, 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. The
casting rods - new for 2010 - have short rear grips to opimize casting
performance as well as line and lure control. No more handles getting
in the way or poking you in the ribs! These rods are exceptionally
light! You'll feel as energized when you're finished for the day as you
were when you started. Shop G. Loomis Pro Green Series Inshore Spinning Rods
