G. Loomis Classic GLX Fly Rods

Steelhead and salmon may well be the very reason G.Loomis exists. We're positive it's why Gary Loomis exists. It was his pursuit for the ultimate ultra-light steelhead rods that started a line-up of amazing fly rods for every fishing application. Some rods stood out from the rest and remained the favorites for literally millions of anglers worldwide. We're proud to call these two-piece rods, THE CLASSICS.

As we journey into the future we can forget all the memorable days on the water, the world records that amaze us all, or maybe the feeling of that one special cast. That's why we celebrate these Classics. They're the best of the best. No chances at all, just the technology advanced TWO-PIECE RODS designed by Gary Loomis and Steve Rajeff, that have gained favor and loyalty over the past twenty years.

You already know about the advantages of GLX, with its unique "lighter than air" balance, the subtle power, the castability and immediate response. Factor in the high line speeds, unbelievably tight loops and superior fish fighting power, these rods are the edge of the envelope for both performance and technology.

A versatile rod, good for small to medium flies on streams and lakes. It's delicate enough to handle all but the most microscopic of patterns. For the ultimate in sensitivity and lightness, you won't find another rod that equals the GLX. Also in the GL3 model.

$590.00
This is the bread and butter trout rod for most anglers with all-around versatility and performance. The GLX is the lightest, finest casting 9-foot 5-weight you'll ever cast. The GL3 version is a bit punchier than its GLX sibling thanks to a multi-taper tip.

$595.00
Capable of remarkably long casts, especially in windy conditions where a #5 can't quite handle it. This is a good streamer rod, and it admirably casts the oversized, stoneflies and hoppers popular on the larger streams of the high desert.

$610.00
A fast action rod, extremely lightweight, and fantastic with floating lines for steelhead. Due to the light weight, float tube anglers can easily cast it with sinking lines and cover longer casts with ease. Atlantic salmon anglers enjoy this model for grilse fishing and catching bigger fish to 20 lbs.

$605.00
An extremely versatile, medium-heavy outfit suited to larger flies and floating or sinking lines. The GL3 is slightly stiffer at the tip than the GLX. The GL2 is a little more forgiving, while still providing the power needed to cast the most demanding flies for any situation.

$615.00
A candidate for the all time best steelhead one-hand rod. It does so many things very well, especially casting all day because of the light-weight 2 piece design. Great at full lines and shooting heads alike, it helps make intermediate casters look like a pro, and pros like gurus. If a fast action 10 foot #8 is in your future, you need to test one.

$610.00
Here's a truly great rod for heavy-duty freshwater applications as well as light-duty saltwater use. It casts like a bullet in the wind and has the power to handle all salmon species. Bass fly rodders love this model because it has the power to handle the large, bulky deer hair flies and poppers so popular for taking big largemouths out of lily pads and heavy cover.

$660.00
This rod is designed to handle big flies, size 2 and above, and is capable of pushing those large flies at fairly reasonable distances. It's also good for weighted flies and heavily weighted sinking fly lines, and comes with a larger diameter fighting-butt for playing bigger fish.

$700.00
If you expect to get into tarpon over 60 pounds, this rod is your best bet at actually landing one. This rod is designed to cast and present flies with power and precision. Because it loads into the middle of the rod a bit, it distinguishes itself as a "caster's rod."
