GLX MATRIX
The series that put G. Loomis on the map. Predecessor to NRX, the GLX graphite system is a proven high-modulus blend coupled with a crazy-durable resin system. A cornerstone of the G. Loomis family for 20+ years, rods built on this platform are lightweight, responsive, and impact resistant. With unique feel and legendary reputation for durability, the GLX continues to be the benchmark technology suite for countless anglers worldwide.

MULTI-TAPER DESIGN
Since 1982, we’ve pushed the boundaries of manufacturing technology, materials innovation, and product design. That’s why G. Loomis fly rods deliver superior performance, heightening angler experience and effectiveness on the water.
While there are countless examples of this philosophy in action, one technology in particular encapsulates our drive to build the most advanced rods in the world: Multi-Taper Design.
Multi-Taper Design is best described as a series of “micro-tapers” within the overall taper of the rod. This unique, proprietary process allows us to use more material on potential break points and less material everywhere else. To accomplish this, we manufactured a custom rolling table...and it’s the only one in existence today. The result is a catalog of precisely defined actions that strike a perfect balance between durability and performance.

RECOIL STRIPPER + RECOIL SINGLE-FOOT/SNAKE
Professional guides have a knack for beating the hell out of their gear, especially in a saltwater environment. Our Recoil guide trains are the closest thing we’ve found to being “guide proof,” offering exceptional durability and supreme weight savings. Nothing else will stand up to years of abuse in skiffs, drift boats, and rod vaults like a Recoil.
