Loomis Casting Rods
Our Casting Rods are designed for accurate, low-trajectory casting, which makes them ideal for fishing in tight quarters, around low overhanging limbs and heavy cover. The five-and-a-half footers are short enough to make highly accurate mid-range casts, stout enough to handle big bass and equipped with pistol grips for positive control. They also work well for vertical jigging, where boat position is important and a straight vertical presentation is paramount for success. The lighter models work especially well with top-water lures and small grubs or jigs, making them a good choice for smallmouths. The medium-power rods are good all-around bass and walleye rods for fishing spinnerbaits, 4 to 6-inch worms and small jigs. The heavier rods are for jig & pig combos, big worms and large spinnerbaits, making them ideal for largemouth bass and northerns. They all feature cork grips. The six-footers have 7-inch straight rear grips that are offset approximately 12 degrees to minimize wrist fatigue and improve casting control. The reel seat features blank-thru-handle construction, with a one-inch cutaway in front of the trigger that we call "mag-touch." By exposing the blank in this area, your index finger makes direct contact with the blank giving you even greater sensitivity.Handle 1Handle 2

 

 
CR661   Length: 5'6"    Power: 1    Pieces: 1    Casting
Designed for fishing small spinnerbaits and leadhead jigs in clear-water rivers and lakes (where a shorter rod is beneficial for both accuracy and lure presentation), the CR661 is also a good choice for vertical jigging in situations when boat position is critical. The 5'6" length gives the angler maximum pressure, still protecting the lighter lines for which it's rated. It's also a nice small stream rod, where smaller baits are essential for success and those medium-sized fish can put a decent bend in your rod. While the IMX graphite certainly makes this rod light and sensitive, accuracy and control may be the CR661's most dynamic features.

CR662    Length: 5'6"    Power: 2    Pieces: 1    Casting
 A fast-action rod with a medium power rating, the CR662 is a very good spinnerbait rod, especially in tight quarters where the 5'6" length allows an angler more elbow room for casting accuracy and lure control. The short (4.5") pistol grip further enhances casting control and lure presentation. It's also an exceptional vertical jigging rod for walleyes. And bass anglers fishing spinnerbaits and light jigs around boat docks or brushy coves really appreciate its perfect blend of length and power. Last but not least, the 662 has just the right action for working topwater lures, and it's length allows the angler to keep the rod tip low, further enhancing lure control and presentation.

 CR663    Length: 5'6"    Power: 3    Pieces: 1    Casting
The CR663 is a fast-action rod with a medium-heavy power rating, making it a good choice for fishing medium-to-large spinnerbaits-especially in tight quarters where the angler requires more maneuverability for casts under brushy overhangs and docks. The 5'6" length provides increased leverage for moving fish from heavy cover, with plenty of reserve power for oversized surprises. It handles medium-to-large plastic worms and jigs equally well, and it's a good vertical jigging rod for river bass and walleyes. Especially in deep water where boat position is paramount. A great rod for getting in the thick stuff and throwing blades, its compact size provides quick, accurate casts. Click Here For More Info

CR721    Length: 6'    Power: 1   Pieces: 1    Casting
A fast-action rod with a light power rating, the CR721 is designed to protect light lines, but still has substantial power for moving large fish to the boat. The softer tip increases casting accuracy, making it easy to snap cast small to medium-sized baits at difficult targets like pocket water, boat docks and rip-rap. It's a good choice for fishing crystal-clear water that doesn't have a lot of heavy cover, where light line is an advantage. The six foot length allows you plenty of flexibility for both casting and depth control, while the light action provides a perfect balance between flexibility and strength: enough softness to allow fish to inhale the lure, yet enough power to control the fish. A great choice for finesse fishing smallmouth, spotted bass or walleyes, where presentation is key and lighter line is the rule. Click Here For More Info

 CR722    Length: 6'    Power: 2    Pieces: 1    Casting
Here's one of the most popular and versatile casting rods in the entire G·Loomis line, capable of fishing a variety of lures and techniques. A good rod for surface lures and spinnerbaits, the CR722 is also an excellent choice for small grubs and worms, especially when fishing clear water with 8-10 pound test. Yet it will handle larger worms and up to 3/8 ounce jigs. If you like to fish Red Fins, Long A's or Rapalas, you'll like this rod a lot. It has enough power to move fish away from cover, but it's much better as an open water rod. Walleye anglers like this rod for drifting jigs and grubs where you need a softer tip to see what's happening at the line's end as well as feel it. View/Buy

 CR723    Length: 6'    Power: 3    Pieces: 1    Casting
As a freshwater rod, the CR723 was originally designed to fish bass, pike and walleyes, but it doubles nicely as a light-saltwater rod for snook, redfish and specks. It has a powerful tip, which allows for a good hook set, with ample power to move fish away from heavy cover. But it still has the flexibility to fish a "super-spook" for surface action. Where this rod really shines is throwing spinnerbaits around docks, tule berms, rock outcroppings and other visible ambush points. It has sufficient length to increase casting range, without being cumbersome in close quarters. Anglers probing the bays and bayous for snook and redfish like this rod because you can make quick, accurate casts without sacrificing power or performance. If you had only one rod for all of your fishing, and shorter was better, this would be our choice. View/Buy

CR724    Length: 6'    Power: 4    Pieces: 1   Casting
A powerful tip and butt make the CR724 a good choice for fishing jigs, worms and slow rolling big spinnerbaits. It's basically a black bass rod, but has power aplenty for stripers up to 15 pounds, snook, or even peacock bass. Anglers that hook a surprise muskie now and then will also appreciate the power of this rod. It's an excellent choice for jigging spoons in heavy timber or vertical jig and worm presentations. Its stiff tip allows you to set the hook with authority, and it has more than enough backbone to move large fish away from obstructions. This is an ideal rod for Midwest bass anglers, where you find more trees and brush than casting area. Whether you're slow-rolling oversized spinnerbaits on Santee Cooper or tossing surface lures for peacock bass in Venezuela, this one will handle it.View/Buy
