G.Loomis Salmon Rods |
G.Loomis Salmon Rods are designed for a special technique called
“mooching.” This style of fishing is done from a boat by slowly trolling
or drifting with the wind or tide. Both methods are effective, but each
requires a rod that will allow the fish to chew on the bait and pull it
down without much resistance. That’s why our Salmon Rods feature a soft,
moderate action. It lets the rod bend easily when the fish first hits the
bait so he’ll hang on a little longer. (At which point, you set the hook
and hang on a lot longer.) Of course, these rods also have to handle the
heavy weight required to keep your bait in the fish zone, so we build them
with plenty of power to boot. The standard mooching rod is nine feet long,
but if you fish several rigs at one time you may want to use longer rods
on the outside rigs to keep your lines and lures separated. Longer rods
also make it easier to handle the long leaders necessary in clear water
with spooky fish. |
