FOR decades now, the G.Loomis name has been associated with brilliant casting and fish-fighting tools… and distributor Shimano Australia says the latest G.Loomis E6X rods are something else again.
The G.Loomis exclusive blank that draws upon proprietary materials with low resin content and high-strain rate carbon fibre. Most importantly though, they have the right weight balance, sensitivity and actions for Australian fish, techniques and conditions.
There are six rods in this new lineup – four single-piece spin models from 6’3” to 7′, and two single-piece baitcasters of 5’8” and 6′. The grips are fine density cork with customised Fuji reel seats, and quality lightweight Fuji guides to keep the actions sharp.
Line weights are 2lb-17lb for the spin rods and 10lb-20lb for the baitcasters – so for freshwater, estuary and inshore fishing situations, these rods have it covered.
