A few years ago, during visits to the Florida Keys, the staff at G. Loomis noticed a lot of guides rinsing off their rods and reels back at the docks and then carrying them up to their truck to go home. When asked why they didn't take them apart they said, "We never take them apart. No need to... we store them with reels and lines on." That sparked a big idea: if these guys were happy to leave the rods assembled, even going so far as to glue the ferrules together, why not make a one-piece fly rod and avoid the ferrules all together? G. Loomis used their "fiber blend technology" to create a high performance blank that has an incredible combination of strength, power and light weight. They're sensitive and powerful. If you're one of those fanatical saltwater flats anglers that doesn't require the convenience of a travel fly rod, this is the innovative thinking you've come to expect from G.Loomis.

A surprisingly powerful and unique, one-piece saltwater fly rod. When major wind isn't an issue and you want to go to a slightly lighter fly rod, this is a great choice! It will handle smaller flies and lighter tippets which can be extremely beneficial when the water is ultra-clear and the fish are spooky. A wonderful, light-duty fly rod for bonefish, schoolie stripers, specks and puppy drum.
