Introduction: Over the last decade or so, G.Loomis has followed the bass-industry wide trend of providing anglers with fishing rods custom tailored to specific techniques and baits. It’s gotten to the point where many anglers can’t rig a soft plastic worm or tie a hook without first checking the specification on their fishing rod to see if the product they’re holding in hand is listed on the blank. Back before the industry became so obsessed with technique specific rods, all an angler had to do was check the line and lure weight specifications on the rod, confirm the rod’s taper, decide on a bait, tie it on, toss it out, and fish away.
