G-Loomis Crosscurrent GLX Rod

G Loomis Crosscurrent GLX Rods, Saltwater fly fishing is highly dependent on bait, cover, current and tides. Where currents cross - creating rips, seams and turbulence - is the playground for saltwater anglers. It's where the baitfish find sanctuary and the game fish come to dine. It's where the depth changes on an otherwise boring flat that hides a big snook as he waits for unsuspecting prey. It's how we look at the world of saltwater fly fishing and it's what Cross Current is all about! It's the culmination of hours of research... on the water and in the factory, creating rods with incredible lifting power and fast tapers that help you make tight, aerodynamic loops so you can punch out unbelievably long cast after long cast, even in a stiff breeze. It's the beautiful appointments we've added to these rods to make them as enjoyable to look at as they are to fish. It's the light weight, the power and the castability that makes our Cross Current Series the most dynamic, most popular saltwater fly rods in the universe. There are seven rods in the Cross Current GLX family, all 4-piece travel rods, featuring Recoil (nickel-titanium) guides and anodized aluminium reel seats with our "yin yang" cutouts exposing a graphite insert with G.Loomis' iconic Skeleton Fish logo. Each rod comes in a soft, protective rod sock and travel case. AFTM: 9# When you need to step up to bigger flies, longer casts and bigger fish, this 9-weight is the right choice. It's a great rod for casting in the wind and will handle all the popular fish on the saltwater scene. Permit, barracuda, jacks, big reds, stripers, blues, false albies... you name it. It's got the power of a cannon, but "shoots" like a rifle. AFTM: 10# A real powerhouse when it comes to casting big flies for big fish, especially on windy days when a lot of fly fishers get that "where's the spinning rod" attitude. This rod has a lot of lifting power for moving big permit away from a wreck or handling big dorados in the open ocean. It's all about power and everything heavy-duty. Want a real challenge on a fly rod? Take this one along on your next tarpon trip. We're sure you'll be impressed! AFTM: 12# "THE" big tarpon fly rod! For that matter it's the "big anything" fly rod. From sails to striped marlin and tuna, this is an excellent rod for keeping the pressure on. It's really light considering the power it creates. Even though this rod really packs a punch, it has the feel of a much smaller rod. It will cast large, wind-resistant flies a mile. When those big 'poons' show up on the flats, this is the rod you'll want in your hands.
