G. Loomis developed the Salmon Series rods to handle the incredible wide variety of salmon fishing techniques brought on by salmon's ever changing environments as they move from salt water to shallow river. The Fiber-Blend Mooching Casting Rod is designed for mooching deep in the ocean or drift fishing in rivers, with fairly heavy weights. A beefed-up butt-section helps to move fish away from trouble and manage them in the swift currents. The tip is relatively fast and sensitive, allowing you to feel that subtle take that can make catching salmon in the rivers so difficult. Long cork handles provide leverage and a firm grip.
