Classics
Steelhead and salmon may well be the very reason G.Loomis exists. We're positive it's why Gary Loomis exists. It was his pursuit for the ultimate ultra-light steelhead rods that started a line-up of amazing fly rods for every fishing application. Some rods stood out from the rest and remained the favorites for literally millions of anglers worldwide. We're proud to call these two-piece rods, THE CLASSICS.
As we journey into the future we can forget all the memorable days on the water, the world records that amaze us all, or maybe the feeling of that one special cast. That's why we celebrate these Classics. They're the best of the best. No chances at all, just the technology advanced TWO-PIECE RODS designed by Gary Loomis and Steve Rajeff, that have gained favor and loyalty over the past twenty years.
You already know about the advantages of GLX, with its unique "lighter than air" balance, the subtle power, the castability and immediate response. Factor in the high line speeds, unbelievably tight loops and superior fish fighting power, these rods are the edge of the envelope for both performance and technology.
GL3 rods on the other hand, offer the ultimate in light weight and forgiveness as well as a great value. If you're looking for a rod that will help you improve your casting stroke and amaze you with its ability to handle fish, you'll find nothing out.

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.

A candidate for the all time best steelhead one-hand rod. It does so many things very well, especially casting all day because of the light-weight 2 piece design.
