Salmon/Steel/UL
The original Gary Loomis plug rod, designed to fish Hot Shots, Wiggle Warts and other deep-diving steelhead lures. Built with a really fast taper and a magnum-power butt, this rod works well for light-duty backbouncing as well. But the place it really shines is in cross-over duties on the hunt for stripers and small sturgeon. It casts lures of up to a couple ounces no problem, and will handle up to 4 ounces in a trolling/mooching situation. The long rear grip and trigger reel seat give you total control.
Salmon/Steel/UL
A more powerful version of the Gary Loomis plug rod, designed to fish Hot Shots, Wiggle Warts and other deep-diving steelhead lures. This particular rod was developed for big fish areas like Tillamook Bay in Oregon or the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, where you need larger plugs and more lead to be effective. Its fast taper and magnum butt work well for backbouncing bait and it is a real workhorse for stripers and small sturgeon. Able to cast lures of up to a couple ounces and handle up to 5 ounces in a trolling/mooching situation, the rod’s long rear grip and trigger reel seat give you total control.

Salmon/Steel/UL
Here’s a really good 12-pound test rod for almost any spin situation. Long enough for extended casts, but never cumbersome, the HSR 760 makes an exceptional flats rod for redfish, bonefish and permit as well as its original targets, steelhead and smaller salmon species. A perfect spinner rod for small rivers, it has a magnum-power butt and a quick, light tip that delivers fast, accurate casts and good fish-fighting ability - whether you’re fishing from boat or bank. This rod also makes a nice one-piece rod for schoolie stripers and small bluefish. As new techniques come to light, some rods just shine. If you are twitching for silvers in the Pacific Northwest, the action of the 760 is perfect for picking up jigs.
Salmon/Steel/UL
This rod was originally designed to back-troll small lures for steelhead or silver salmon. But because of its extra-fast design, light tip, and powerful butt, it has quickly emerged as the rod of choice for serious walleye anglers fishing spinner/worm rigs. Saltwater flats fisherman also like the light tip for casting soft plastics, jigs or bait to cruising redfish and specks. This is an extremely versatile rod for both fresh and saltwater use and it is surprisingly powerful for its size.
