For years, G. Loomis has been among the pace-setters in the fishing rod business. But they never seem to rest on their laurels and past successes.
That much is evident in the new GLX series of rods introduced at ICAST last month. By utilizing the first graphite made strictly to build rod blanks, G. Loomis has created a whole new set of options for crankbait fishermen and those who prefer to flip.
The highlights of the 12 new crankbait rods (available in 6’6”, 7’, 7’1” and 7’11”) and six new flipping rods (available in 7’5” and 7’11”) is they’re anywhere from 23 to 35 percent stronger than previous GLX models, but the designers made sure to preserve the trademark feel and sensitivity G. Loomis rods have come to be known for.
BassFan has been field-testing the new 7’ 843CBR crankbait rod for a couple weeks now and will be publishing a more complete product review in the near future.
