Our Salmon and STEElHEAD lineup is no less than you'd expect from a rod company born and bred in the heart of salmon and steelhead country. We'd be willing to bet that our employees have (per capita) caught more SAlMON and steelhead than any rod company in the world. Heck, Gary loomis himself has caught more salmon and steelhead than just about any company in the world. Our EXPERIENCE has helped us create the finest salmon and steelhead rods in the industry. No matter what type of water you fish, we make a great rod for every technique. With that said, we'd like to introduce our new line of FlOAT RODS. Designed to fish jigs and baits with tough structure-filled holding water in mind. Extra long for easier line mending and added hook setting power, these are the UlTIMATE rods for extending your drift in even the most technical waters. We now offer five mooching/trolling rods that address varying needs of length and strength. The longer rods are for the bow and the shorter rods for the stern to get that perfect spread and ultimate water coverage. Equipped with Fuji Alconite guides for lighter weight and lower profile. All of our trolling rods have a forgiving moderate action to tame even the toughest big Chinook. This is a casting rod designed for mooching in the ocean or drift fishing in rivers. It is surprisingly light considering the magnum power. There's plenty of strength in the butt-section to move fish away from trouble and manage them in the swift currents. The tip is relatively fast and it's very sensitive, allowing you to feel that subtle take that can make catching salmon in the rivers so difficult. Note: the lure rating refers to trolling/mooching weight. If you are casting from boat or bank in the river, it will handle 2 to 3-ounces effectively.
