G.Loomis GCX Salmon 13097-01 Trolling Rod

Experienced salmon anglers contenting for takedowns in crowded river systems, estuaries, and nearshore trolling lanes understand that supreme attention to detail when planning tactics, rigging, and tackle spread is often the difference between a flying net and one at rest. Adopting this philosophy, the G. Loomis design team approached the GCX SALMON series with a similar obsession, aimed to provide anglers with tools primed for heightened performance in Pacific Northwest salmon fisheries and beyond. All GCX SALMON actions possess two distinct characteristics: expressive tips that indicate the desired presentation of baits, lures, or 360 flasher rigs and pumped power levels to quickly leverage heavy fish to the net prior to tangling lines with neighboring boats or conceding to furry predators. Rolled on stepped mandrels machined with micro-tapers at specific points within the overall taper, G. Loomis engineers isolate and reinforce areas likely to fail under load to provide maximum durability. Available in technique-specific actions — including trolling, hot shot, and mooching models, in various lengths and handle configurations — all rods within the series feature durable Fuji Concept O guide trains, Seaguide reel seats with Fuji double-locking nuts for secure reel connection, and ergonomic lightweight carbon trolling handles. Designed and rolled entirely in our Woodland, Washington, facility, GCX SALMON offers anglers an advantage in some of the most competitive fisheries on the planet.
