GLX SERIES

When you get to the river (or lake, or salt flat) and pull out a GLX fly rod, you’re in for a different experience. For starters, these rods are 25% lighter than rods of comparable strength, so even the simple act of removing it from the truck is more enjoyable. Once rigged, you’ll find the fast-action, medium stiffness and progressive taper help you throw out beautiful high-speed loops with newfound ease. After one of these beautiful casts, you’ll get the opportunity to enjoy its incredibly sensitive tip fighting the fish you couldn’t quite reach before. It may seem presumptive to suggest you can’t experience this with someone else’s fly rod, but quite frankly no other rod maker has GLX graphite. Not even close. Basically, whether you’re an expert fly angler who wants every last bit of his ability to shine through, or an intermediate angler who wants to improve his abilities practically overnight, the GLX is the rod you need.

FR1024     Length:  8'6"     Line:  4     Pieces:  2    

The 81/2-foot for 4-weight is a versatile, small to medium stream rod, capable of handling everything from smaller dries to small streamers. Thanks to its GLX pedigree, this rod offers a little extra power, less weight and a very delicate tip, making it an excellent choice for those light tippets.

In addition to its excellent application as a flats rod, this Mega is a good choice for freshwater popper and bug fishing for bass—or any time a bulkier fly and a little extra lifting power is needed.

Our 9-foot 10-weight is the second most popular choice among saltwater anglers. This rod is designed to handle big flies, size 2 and above, and is capable of pushing those large flies at fairly reasonable distances. Also good for weighted flies and heavily weighted sinking fly lines, it comes with a larger diameter fighting-butt for playing bigger fish. This is also an excellent light-duty tarpon rod. After all, they’re not all 100-pounders.

The added length offers extra distance, as well as a little longer reach for improved line control and mending techniques. And the delicate GLX tip helps protect even the most gossamer tippets.

FR1086     Length:  9'     Line:  6     Pieces:  2    

As rod materials have improved and rods have become lighter and stronger, the #6 has taken a back seat to the 5-weight. It’s now the “in between” size for the transition from trout fishing to warmwater species. Capable of remarkably long casts, the 1086 also has the ability to make delicate presentations—especially in windy conditions where a #5 can’t quite handle it. This is a good streamer rod, and it admirably casts the oversized, wind-resistant poppers, stoneflies and hoppers so popular on the larger streams of the high desert.

Here’s a truly great rod for heavy-duty freshwater applications and light-duty saltwater use. It casts like a bullet in the wind and has the power to handle all salmon species. It’s the rod of choice for flats fishing when the wind comes up, and it will pull a big redfish back to the boat in a heartbeat. Bass fly rodders love this model because it has the power to handle the large, bulky deer hair flies and poppers so popular for taking big largemouths out of lily pads and heavy cover. When the river gets a freshet and waters rise, the steelheader turns to the #9 for heavier lines and larger flies. It’s a great all-around big fish rod.

FR1388/9-3     Length:  11'6"     Line:  8 or 9 standard WF line     Pieces:  3     Travel

This is chief rod designer Steve Rajeff’s favorite steelhead rod. We categorize it as a two-hander, but it’s really a very long one-handed rod with an extended fighting butt. The extra handle length allows you the option of fishing it in a conventional one-handed manner, or, when the situation dictates, with two hands. Because of this unique capability, it’s designed to be fished with a standard 8 or 9-weight line (not a Spey line as with most of our two-handers). It’s an outstanding light steelhead rod for open river fishing and it provides incredible line control and distance. GLX graphite makes it unbelievably light—about the weight of most 10-foot #8s—so it can be cast one-handed all day long with very little fatigue.

It’s a powerful big fish rod, designed for the wide, robust rivers of Norway, and everything about it is geared toward the maximum. Maximum casts beyond the normal range, maximum size flies, and maximum water flows. No room for a back cast? No problem. That’s precisely what these rods are designed to do. And thanks to their GLX pedigree, they do it with unbelievable lightness. A salmon angler’s dream rod.

GL3 SERIES 

 

Undoubtedly the best performance value on the market, these rods are extremely forgiving and very lightweight, actually helping to minimize the most common mistake in casting: the tailing loop. Designed with a multi-taper tip, they feel slightly stiffer than our other rod families, generating high line-speed with a slightly wider loop. That extra stiffness also makes them quite powerful, capable of making nice long, accurate casts. Some rod companies charge twice what a GL3 will cost you. But if you’re looking for a high-performance graphite rod that will let you cast like you know you can, none of them will outperform a GL3.

FR1025     Length:  8'6"     Line:  5     Pieces:  2    

This rod is perfect for small to medium-size trout flies and corresponding waters. Trimming 6 inches off the standard 9-footer helps speed up the false cast cycle.
