G. Loomis Centerpin Fly Reel

Description

G. Loomis Center Pin

Center pin rods aren’t new, but older versions were tip-heavy, making them tiresome to fish. The G.Loomis CENTER PIN rod is longer, more responsive, and dynamically lighter with the weight shifted towards the butt section.The theory behind the technique is a drag-free drift, whether you’re fishing bait on the bottom or suspending bait or jigs beneath a float. The reels, extremely smooth single-action models, resemble fly reels and have clicker drag systems to help prevent free-spooling. They have rimmed spools so the anglers can apply the necessary drag by palming the spool. Anglers used to spend their entire day trying to keep the heavy tip in a positive, upright position, all the while trying to concentrate on the bite. Now, we use a blend of composite and species cork in the handle to help maintain a delicate balance at the angler’s end of the rod and split rings so you can position your reel where you want it. Add to that Recoil (nickel-titanium) guides that are about half the weight of standard guides, and these rods have the length, weight, and responsiveness needed for a drag-free drift.
