G LOOMIS CLASSIC SPIN JIG ROD SJR724 IMX

October 1, 2008 By
 a Real Bass Fisherman Never, But Never, Admitted Using A Spinning Rod, Unless It Was For Panfish, And Even Then It Was Iffy. But Times Are Changing And So Are Techniques. First Out Of The Closet Were The Die-hard Smallmouth Anglers. They Favored 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 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….

G LOOMIS ROARINGRIVER DREDGER FLY ROD FR1689/10 4

October 1, 2008 By
The Term “skagit Casting” Was Coined In The Early 1990′s To Describe On Offshoot System Of Spey Casting Being Used At The Time By Steelheaders In The Skagit River Area. It Was Mostly Characterized By Its Relatively Short Shootinghead Lines. However In Its Original Context, The Term Skagit Casting Described A Method Of Casting That Exercised One Particular Premise To Accomlish Its Casts- The Sustained Anchor Concept. This Works Off The Principles Of Rod Loading That Are The Opposite Of Contacts Spey Casting. Sustained Anchor Casting Uses The ” Unsticking” Of A Thoroughly “stuck” Flyline From The River’s Surface As The Mechanism For Creating Casting Energy. Allowing You To Change The Direction Of The Cast And Providing The Primary Mechanism For Loading The Rod, The Casts That Work Best With….

G LOOMIS SALMON and STEELHEAD HOT SHOT ROD HSR9000 2S IMX

September 29, 2008 By
We Designed These Rods To Pull Salmon And Steelhead Plugs Like The Infamous Hot Shot (hence The Name), And That’s Still Their #1 Use. But You’ll See Anglers Casting Them For Silvers, Trolling Them For Big Kings Or Drifting Bait With Them For Steelhead. The Rods Have 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….
