Our Salmon and STEELHEAD lineup is no less than you'd expect from a rod company born and bred in the heart of salmon and steelhead country. We'd be willing to bet that our employees have (per capita) caught more SALMON and steelhead than any rod company in the world. Heck, Gary Loomis himself has caught more salmon and steelhead than just about any company in the world. Our EXPERIENCE has helped us create the finest salmon and steelhead rods in the industry. No matter what type of water you fish, we make a great rod for every technique. With that said, we'd like to introduce our new line of FLOAT RODS. Designed to fish jigs and baits with tough structure-filled holding water in mind. Extra long for easier line mending and added hook setting power, these are the ULTIMATE rods for extending your drift in even the most technical waters.

  There's a tecnique for salmon we call hovering. It's been a well kept secret for quite a few years up here in the Pacific Northwest, but it's time to let the proverbial cat out of the bag. The fish targeted are usually in deep holes, normally suspended and non-aggressive. They have a tendency to follow the bait and nip at it. The bite is almost indistinguishable, but that's where the "hover rod"comes in. First of all, it's the first rod designed especially for this special technique. It's GLX and features the new, innovative RECOIL guide system making it extremely light and sensitive. At 7'4", it's shorter and much lighter than most salmon rods, but you don't have to cast it with this technique, you just drop the bait down to the right depth and drift through the hole. A light, responsive tip telegraphs even the lightest tap, but when you set the hook it locks up instantly with power that will surprise even the most demanding salmon angler. This is important because you are usually sitting down, holding the rod as steady as possible so you can really watch the tip and concentrate on the bite. If the rod's too soft, you can't set the hook properly, it it's too stiff, you can't detect the bite. The new GLX Hover Rod is the perfect combination of a light, sensitvie tip and a strong, powerful butt-section. When the bite gets light and the fish get finicky, it can be one of the most intense fishing experiences you'll ever have. If you know the fish are there, this rod can rat them out.
