Chrome stripper + chrome single-foot
Pondering innovative ways to reduce rod weight, G.Loomis Chief Designer Steve Rajeff conceptualized a viable option. In 1994, after a few hours of tinkering in the machine shop, the world’s first single-foot guide was born. The weight equivalent of removing two full snake guides from the blank, this guide system is proven to be equally durable. Wondering if they reduce line speed? Steve’s won fourteen world championships using single-foot guides on his competition rods. The end result is a catalogue of precisely defined actions that strike the perfect balance between durability and performance.

Conduit core
Traditionally, as the blank diameter increases, so does the total amount of material used. This was the only way of ensuring strength/durability in the bottom half of the rod. Conduit Core technology removes excess wraps of graphite and replaces them with a proprietary material that’s of equal strength, but dramatically lighter in weight. Casters exert less energy to move the rod, increasing the efficiency of total energy required to manipulate the line when casting, mending, and animating flies.

Multi-taper design
Multi-Taper Design is best described as a series of “micro-tapers” within the overall taper of the rod. This unique, proprietary process allows G.Loomis to use more material on potential breakpoints and less material everywhere else. To accomplish this, they’ve manufactured a custom rolling table and it’s the only one in existence today.
