G-Loomis GL3 Steelhead Casting Rods Review

We believe the two most important factors in a steelhead rod are line control and SENSITIVITY. Thats two reasons why we build our Steelhead Rods in such a wide variety of lengths and power ratings. No matter where you fish or which technique you choose theres a steelhead rod that offers you maximum ...CONTROL. If you fish small coastal streams you can get by with a shorter rod. If on the other hand you frequent big wide rivers longer rods are definitely the way to go (for a variety of reasons including optimum line angle river drag and sensitivity). As for sensitivity it doesnt matter whether you plunk drift-fish from shore or use a boat: knowing whats going on at the end of your line is absolutely crucial for successful steelheading. These fish may be big but for the most part their bite is incredibly subtle. Thats why we DESIGN these rods with a fairly soft tip and the most sensitive materials possible. Select the rod that matches your angling situation and be sure to give careful consideration to the different levels of graphite performance available.
