FR1177 Length: 9'9''
Line: 7
This rod was designed for our friends
north of the border, where larger rivers and big trout make for some
great fly fishing. The 1177 is perhaps best described as a light
summer-run steelhead rod for use in large pools and runs where long
distance casts, good mending qualities and positive line control spell
success. Especially when the pocket you're fishing is on the far side of
a slow stretch. An especially nice rod for silvers, chums and sockeye
where floating lines or sink tips prevail.

FR1207 Length: 10'
Line: 7
You'll find this to be an exceptional
summer-run steelhead rod, especially when using a floating line in the
early fall in low water conditions. If you're a float tuber or extreme
wader, the ten-foot length helps keep your line off the water, providing
more distance and better line control. Experts tell us this may well be
the best Alaskan trout rod ever made, and Atlantic salmon anglers have
discovered it to be a delightful light-duty rod for both grilse and
adult fish up to 20 pounds.

FR968-3SG Length: 8'
Line: 8 Pieces: 3 Small
Grip
This is a very easy-to-cast 8-weight.
Says G·Loomis rod designer Steve Rajeff, ''Of all the rods I've ever
cast for a size 8, this is the easiest to learn to use when short
casting suits the situation.'' At 8 feet, it will push a popper out
comfortably, handily fish a sink tip line, and it's capable of landing
salmon and saltwater species. For anglers with smaller hands or reduced
hand strength, this is an excellent rod.

FR1088 Length: 9'
Line: 8
The 9' for #8 is a versatile,
medium-heavy outfit suited to larger flies and floating or sinking
lines. It's the number one choice among saltwater anglers for flats
fishing, as it's capable of handling the predominant flies used in that
environment. The GLX is extremely light and smooth feeling. Almost as
light as a 6-weight trout rod, in fact. The The GL3 has a stiffer, more
punchy feeling. And the GL2 is a nice, easy-loading rod for less
aggressive casters or anyone just learning to use heavier gear.

FR1178 Length: 9'9'' Line:

An exceptional steelhead and salmon
rod for large rivers where long casts and positive line control equal
success. A powerhouse caster, you'll find yourself reaching water with
this rod previously reserved only for boaters. It handles floating lines
for ''greased line'' presentations quite well, but it's equally
efficient with sink tips or the new shooting heads-and fully capable of
handling fish up to 30 pounds, or larger if water conditions permit. If
you're an avid saltwater flats angler and you prefer wading to fishing
from a boat, this is also a very nice rod for long range casts to
cruising bonefish or permit.

FR1208 Length: 10'
Line: 8
Unbelievably light for a 10-foot rod,
this is the ultimate steelhead and small salmon rod. In a word, it's a
cannon-capable of extremely long casts and positive line control. When
you need to go to a shooting head to reach salmon in swift, deep slots
where nothing else will work, this is the rod. When you're going after
big-water steelies on rivers like the Babine and the Kispiox, this is
the rod. When you want to be the guy everyone envies for the sheer
beauty of his hundred-foot casts, this is the rod. Also very nice for
big permit, bull reds, barracuda and sharks on the flats.

FR1089 Length: 9' Line: 9
Here's a truly great rod for
heavy-duty freshwater applications and light-duty saltwater use. It
casts like a bullet in the wind and has the power to handle all salmon
species. It's the rod of choice for flats fishing when the wind comes up
and it will pull a big redfish back to the boat in a heartbeat. Bass fly
rodders love this model because it has the power to handle the large,
bulky deer hair flies and poppers so popular for taking big largemouths
out of lily pads and heavy cover. When the river gets a freshet and
waters rise, the steelheader turns to the #9 for heavier lines and
larger flies. It's a great all-around big fish rod.

This is a fabulous rod for large
steelhead and salmon, especially when larger flies and long distance
casting is required. It's got a lot of power for handling the bigger
flies, as well as saltwater fishing conditions while wading in the surf
for striped bass or bluefish. Yet, due to its GLX construction, it's
amazingly light and sensitive.
