xG. Loomis Classic GL3 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.

GL3 rods offer the ultimate in light weight and forgiveness as well as a great value. If you're looking for a rod that will help you improve your casting stroke and amaze you with its ability to handle fish, you'll find nothing quite like GL3.

$320.00
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. Also in the GLX model.

An extremely versatile, medium-heavy outfit suited to larger flies and moderate winds, making it a top choice among saltwater anglers for bones, reds, permit, snook, stripers, and blues. It's capable of handling all the dominant flies for steelhead, with floating or sinking lines. The GL3 is slightly stiffer at the tip than the GLX.

$345.00
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. It will also pull big redfish, stripers, and jacks back to the boat in a heartbeat. Also in the GLX model.
