G. Loomis Whisper Creek GLX 9-10ft 5 weight Fly Rod

G.Loomis Whisper Creek 9ft 5wt fly rod - 4 piece.

This is a very light 5wt and would suit being underlined with a 4wt, particularly with the modern trend for lines to be heavier than their classification. 

The original introductory blurb said:

For conditions that demand accurate casts, super light tippets and tiny flies, G.Loomis offers its new WhisperCreek GLX fly rod series. 

 

The WhisperCreek GLX rods also feature GLX graphite blanks, and REC Recoil stripper and snake guides. Also featured is G.Loomis’ unique reel seat with an offset-oval sculptured barrel and ‘California Buckeye Burl’ wood insert. The inserts give the rod a differentiated feel from its sibling, and reminds us of classic materials used in boutique rods.

 

“As you look over the G.Loomis fly rods designed primarily for trout fishing, fly anglers will quickly identify the WhisperCreek GLX rods are for when stealth and precision - not overwhelming force - is the needed tool for a successful day on the water, “said Gary Schaefer with G.Loomis’ product development staff. “They each feature very fine diameter tips designed to load up close for shorter, extremely accurate casts - even if you think you lack some casting skills.”
