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. Big rivers, swift currents and hard fighting hawgs. These spinning rods, one 8'6", and one 9', are designed for the special needs of the Alaskan bank salmon fisherman. They allow you to make long effortless casts with everything from large spinners to small, weightless egg clusters. And with the sensitivity to feel subtleties of the drift, along with the strength to set the hook and land these large fish, you may find these to be the ultimate multi-purpose salmon rods. This is a powerful spinning rod designed for drifting bait or bait imitators as well as casting spoons and spinners in rivers for Chinook salmon. It is surprisingly light, yet features magnum power to manage big fish. The tip is very sensitive, allowing you to feel that subtle take that makes catching salmon in the rivers a difficult proposition at times.
