G Loomis Saltwater CrossCurrent Series Rods

Saltwater flyfishing 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 Loomis looks at the world of saltwater fly fishing and it's what CrossCurrent 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 Loomis 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 the CrossCurrent Series the most dynamic, most popular saltwater fly rods in the universe.

G Loomis Standard CrossCurrent Rods

Whether you choose Loomis' standard CrossCurrent rods for back ups or for your budget, they are outstanding fishing tools. You might call them "power tools" for the flats. Loomis uses their "fiber blend technology" to combine the benefits of strength and stiffness of different materials to build a powerful alternative for anglers at any level. Now in there new 4-piece configuration, these sticks are every bit as smooth, as powerful and as efficient as any fly rod on the market. Blending different materials allows them to take advantage of the unique properties of each without overbuilding the blank. Some fibers lend themselves to extra strength for extreme lifting power while others add stiffness for faster recovery to keep the rod tracking true for long and accurate casts. Another advantage is the price. These rods are about 30% less expensive than their GLX counterparts. They aren't as light, but they're everything an angler expects in a saltwater fly rod, with power to spare. Each rod comes in a soft, protective rod sock and travel case.

G Loomis CrossCurrent Pro-1

A few years ago, during visits to the Florida Keys, 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. They asked them why they didn't take them apart and they said, "We never take them apart. No need to... we store them with reels and lines on." 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 rod and avoid the ferrules all together?  Loomis used their "fiber blend technology" to create a high performance blank that has an incredible combination of light weight, strength and power. They're light, sensitive and sneaky powerful. If you're one of those fanatical saltwater flats anglers that doesn't require the convenience of a travel rod, this is the innovative thinking you've come to expect from G.Loomis. Each rod comes in a protective rod sock. Pro-1 CrossCurrent fly rods are the buzz of the saltwater fly market. Just another way we help make each day you spend on the water memorable!
