We designed these rods to pull salmon and steelhead plugs like the INFAMOUS Hot Shot (hence the name), and that's still their #1 use. But you'll see anglers casting them for silvers, trolling them for big Kings or drifting bait with them for steelhead. The rods have light to medium tips and magnum-power butt sections, which make them EXCEllENT casting tools and even better fish-fighting tools. If you're unfamiliar, the Hot Shot technique goes something like this... the angler positions his boat at the head of a run and allows the current to pull the plug down to the fish zone. The boat then sweeps across the current so the plug covers the entire width of the river (lure action is then monitored by watching the wiggle of the rod tip). When a fish hits, the magnum butt section actually sets the hook for you. The boat operator keeps tension on the fish until the angler can grab the rod from the holder. An extremely EFFECTIVE technique and a very versatile rod. Designed specifically for back-trolling plugs or drift-fishing for king salmon, this is also an excellent big river steelhead rod. The fast taper and powerful, magnum butt make it a favorite among silver salmon anglers. It has a long rear cork grip for extra leverage and lots of power. A powerful, two-piece casting rod designed specifically for back-trolling plugs like Hot Shots and Wiggle Warts. The extra-fast taper and the powerful, magnum butt-section make it a favorite among hybrid and striper anglers, both in saltwater estuaries and freshwater "land-locked" striper fisheries. It has a long rear cork grip for extra leverage and a lot of power. IMX graphite makes it extremely light and really sensitive. A 'must have' for drift fishing big kings in Alaska!

An absolutely great all-around surf spinning rod. At 11-feet, this two-piece powerhouse will let you reach out there a country mile with total line, lure and fish-fighting control. This is the perfect rod for big rooster fish, stripers, drum and any other mega-critters that may cruise the coastline. It will handle up to 25-pound monofilament and 30-pound Power Pro and lures ranging up to 3-ounces. Whether you're fishing the Pacific coast of Mexico or the rocky shores of Maine, this is as good as it gets!New for 2010, our IMX SURF rods is a series of extremely powerful, high-modulus, light weight spinning rods designed specifically for the long range casts required to successfully fish the surf. G. loomis has taken their blank technology to an entirely new level of performance with these new rods. They have noticeably smaller diameters that create less air-resistance during the casting stroke. They have faster actions than previous G.loomis surf rods, creating tremendous tip-speed to virtually launch your bait into the next time zone! You' ll discover a reserve power when fighting a fish that just isn' t available in any other surf rod.Talk about distance! It takes a special dynamic in a rod to reach those fish beyond normal casting range and then, in turn, create enough energy to drive the hooks home and bring that fish to the beach. Proprietary manufacturing technologies allow G. loomis to make their blanks with extremely dense laminates, increasing strength, sensitivity and most importantly... recovery-rate. "Recovery-rate" relates to the time it takes the rod, after being flexed (loaded) and cast (unloaded), to dampen and return to a straight position. This is paramount for distance because as a rod dampens, it wobbles. As line passes through the guides, this "wobble" creates line slap (friction) that reduces line-speed significantly. The faster a rod can recover, the less it wobbles, reducing the friction, and increasing casting distance. It'
