G. Loomis Saltwater Fly Fishing Rod NRX 1088-4 Blue is the standard by which all light-duty saltwater fly rods and heavy-duty freshwater rods are measured will soon be changing. This smooth casting 8-weight will quickly become our #1 9-foot fly rod for fishing the flats as well as steelhead.

Tight loops and great range in such a lightweight package makes this our top choice for bonefish, permit, snook, stripers, blues, salmon, steelhead, pike and any number of big fish. They just don't make a better rod than this - anywhere. *Comes with the G. Loomis Rod Warranty - "Zero Cost" with American Legacy Fishing program.
