G. Loomis Value Rods - Xperience

Xperience fly rods are a complete range of high performance/high value, graphite travel rods. We use our proprietary "fiber blend technology", incorporating some of the same high modulus materials found in many "top-of-the-line" rods to keep the weight down and the performance level as high as possible. We created dynamic tapers that mirror much more expensive rods to give anglers smooth, effortless casting. We used components that optimize performance versus price. Performance and affordability is the hallmark of this series. The lighter rods, 3 thru 6-weight, feature medium-fast to fast tapers with medium to medium-stiff power-ratings that create high line speeds for accuracy and control. They have relatively soft tips to protect light tippets and our "progressive power taper" technology generates a lot of distance when needed. As we move up into the higher line sizes, 8-weights and higher, where anglers want more distance and power for bigger fish, bigger water and greater challenges, we've speeded up the tapers and made the rods stiffer. Handsome, with a rich, olive-brown finish these rods have a black, anodized aluminum reel seat with skeleton fish graphic that's adaptable to both fresh and saltwater applications. They feature chromed snake guides and Fuji stripper guides and each rod comes in a soft, protective rod sock with travel case. These may be one of our best kept secrets.
