Comments about G. Loomis xxG. Loomis Classic GL3 Series Fly RodsDisc.:

I had Mel Guido, Rogue River guide in Gold Beach, OR build me two rods, one each in 5 wt and 6 wt. He used GL3 blanks.

These two rods, particularly the 5 wt are my go to rods for fishing the Deschutes around Maupin and the Grass Valley Lakes. They are classic fly rods, with smooth easy action, but the power when needed to make a long precise cast.

The real fun is of course playing a large trout in fast water. The rods can really work for you.

I own Sage, Powell, and Redington rods in various weights from 3 wt to 8 wt spey rods, and I generally always end up fishing the custom built gl3s.

I have fished this rod for 3 years now and love it. This will handle very large salmon.
