SIDE-DRIFT

Side-drifting is a very effective method for catching steel- head. The technique is simple, just position the boat at the top of a good looking run, allow it to drift slowly downstream while the anglers let their baits drift enticingly along-side the boat. It’s a fun, exciting way to fish. IMX allows us to create a rod with the perfect blend of line/lure control, power and sensitivity. Soft enough so the fish will hang on to the bait, sensitive enough to allow you to react.

CENTER-PIN

Center pin fishing for steelhead requires a long, light and super-responsive rod. That’s where G. Loomis and GLX technology have the advantage. We not only can make them longer and dramatically lighter, but we’ve designed them with virtually the ultimate balance so you can fish them all day long with minimal fatigue.
