When you need power in a lightweight package, especially to cast bigger
flies, make longer casts andigger fish, this is the new
standard by which all 9-weights will be measured. It's a great rod for
casting big flies in the wind and will handle most of the larger
saltwater species, except for maybe giant tarpon and the G. Loomis field testers are having so
much fun we haven't heard back from them on that one yet. Permit,
barracuda, jacks, big reds, stripers, blues, false albies... you name
it. It's got the range as well as the power to handle large,
wind-resistant freshwater bass flies and the biggest bass on the
planet.
