G. Loomis has been building some of the best fly rods in the world out of Woodland, Washington for decades, and their reputation is as strong as ever. Their Asquith series sits at the top of the premium rod market with incredibly light, powerful blanks built on NRX+ graphite. The NRX series offers elite performance at a slightly more accessible price. Even their entry Crosscurrent and Streamdance rods, designed for specific saltwater and trout applications, are built with the same commitment to blank performance that defines the brand. If you want to cast a rod that genuinely feels different from everything else, Loomis is where to start.

40+ G. Loomis rods tested across freshwater and saltwater weight classes - casting performance, blank sensitivity, build quality, and how each model holds up against its premium competition at the same price. These are among the most thorough Loomis reviews you'll find. Here's the methodology behind our testing.
