Completely updated and improved, the new G.Loomis GL2 Jig & Worm Casting Rods offer an excellent blend of performance and value, and now include several key improvements, as well as a full lineup of technique and application specific models.

It’s a small thing but it can make a difference at the end of a long day. Offering the unique combination of power, sensitivity, and actions that made the originals such a popular and enduring rod series, the G.Loomis GL2 Jig & Worm Casting Rods will do everything you ask and more. G.Loomis knows what you expect in a bass rod.

Comments: I picked up the 7'5" Heavy Jig/Worm rod for pitching and deep water worm/jigs.  Compares favorably to my Falcon T7 rods and is very comfortable to fish.  Pitches very accurately and I will be looking to buy more.  It is not as light as some of the higher end Loomis offerings but fishes great and is balanced with a Chronarch E7.  This is the max price range i am willing to spend on a rod and I am satisfied and it looks great!

Comments: I have this rod in 6'8" MH paired up with a Shimano Chronarch, hands down the best combo I've used!  This rod is extremely comfortable and light weight for a long day of fishing.  Also the sensitivity of this rod is incredible in comparison to any other rod in my arsenal.  I will be purchasing more to phase out my other rods shortly!

From: Matt: Florence, KY

Comments: Great rod! Great feel, power, sensitivity and price. Almost as nice as my Steez...and it is much more economical!

From: Jon: Evans, GA

Comments: First off, The handle is different, but extremely comfortable when you get used to it. Second, this an extremly sensitive rod and it allows you to feel every piece of cover you touch. Third, this is a very strong and reliable rod, I boughtt the 7'1 extra heavy for flipping jigs and beavers as well as skipping docks with brush piles, even though it is very stiff, it still has an excellent tip. This rod does exactly what it is supposed to do, get the toads out of their house fast! I never think twice about swingin 6 plus's into the boat! If you want an excellent, reliable heavy cover rod that gets the job done, this is your product.

From: Zack: Winston Salem, NC

Comments: Don't listen to the negative comments im 14 and fish about every day. This rod is light, sensitive and has lots of backbone and a G Loomis for 200 is a steal! Very nice rod!

From: David: Racine, WI

Comments: immediately returned this after the first time out. i was horrified when i took it out of the package. please dont give loomis the satisfaction by buying this horrible rod. at least get a mossyback, very disappointed

From: Colton: TX

Comments: When tournament fishing with money on the line, this is the only line I count on. Incredible abrasion resistant and super strong. The memory I can deal with, breaking off fish with other brands I can't deal with.

From: Jim: Morristown, TN

Comments: Great rod, considering selling my GLX's and replacing them with the gl2. handles fish great, light, and comfortable. Paired with a Shimano Core makes one very light combo. highy recommended

From: Ray: NV

Comments: Picked up the 7`1 Heavy for flippin`. I figured a rod that boasts rod of the year, especially since the NRX is so legit - that this would be a pretty sweet stick... turns out this thing is extremely bulky with an obviously cheap reel-seat. I had been using a Falcon BuCoo before and wanted to use that specifically for froggin... after holding both I'd rather take two BuCoo's.. much lighter and sensitive, with an attention to detail at a price that cannot be beat.

From: Bud: Swan Lake, NY

Comments: I just don't get why these won best in class. Held one at my local tackle store. It does feel good and likely fishes nice, but aluminum oxide inserts on a rod of this price - really? The handle is a nice touch, but you are paying for the name G Loomis on this one. Loomis use to be the best of the best back in the day. Sorry not true today. Save some money and buy a Powell or Dobyns and get what you pay for. Shimano has to be making a grip of money off these new GL2 rods.

From: Mark: Spokane

Comments: This rod is by far the best you can buy. Great for the money, casting is super accurate, i got the 6'8 med heavy paired with a shimano chronarch e series reel absolutely unbelievable buying another one soon!

From: Garrett: MI

Comments: Bought the 803C and paired it with a lews tourney pro and wow. Rod feels great in your hand.

From: Charles: KY

Comments: just oredered this rod and i just now got to feel it, and this frickin thing is amazing!!!!!! although it is a little heavy at first , but match it up with a revo sx and the combo balances out very well. great rod.

From: Cody: Menifee, CA

Comments: I order the 804CJWR this rod is light, sensitive, beautiful, and the handle is the most comfortable one I felt. I can pitch a lure perfect and it cast far with a lot of control it has a lot off back bone trust me this rod is perfect. For $200 is the best rod you can buy. I  I have a glx and this gl2 is as good in quality. Is better than my 2 st.croix legend tournaments. I'm ordering another one soon. Buy one

GL2 803CJWR. Day in and day out, one of G.Loomis’ most popular all around actions for bass fishing, but don't let that fool you. While it's designed for casting jigs and worms for bass, it's capable of handling a number of different species, including small stripers, big pike, redfish and snook. It has an extra fast taper that provides excellent line and lure control. It's accurate and surprisingly powerful for a rod so light.

GL2 852CJWR. A wonderful light jig and small worm rod that also makes a great buzz bait rod thanks to its softer tip and the magnum butt. It will cast an unweighted soft plastic jerkbait a country mile. When the water is clear, the fish are spooky and you need to back off to be successful, this is a great choice.

A great alternative for fishing 4-5" hollow belly swimbaits. Fish this rod for small stripers, pike or redfish. A great all around casting rod.

GL2 855CJWR. A powerhouse rod that will double nicely for a back-up flipping stick with plenty of power for fishing big jigs, heavy line, and oversized worms and lizards. When you need to put a bait into a tight spot in the middle of a bush, you need a rod that has the power to pull the bass right back out of that same hole. This rod will do that in spades.

GL2 893CJWR. An extremely good medium-heavy jig & worm rod for areas where longer casts and positive hooksets are paramount for success. The extra length provides an incredible combination of tip-speed and magnum power in the lower half of the rod... a huge advantage when trying to keep fish out of trouble, especially in deeper water. When you set the hook with this rod you move an incredible mount of line. It's an exceptional fishing tool.

GL2 894CJWR. If you are fishing deep water in heavy cover for big bass, this rod is the answer. Its extra length creates a very big tip arc that not only increases the tip-speed for longer casts, but it also moves a lot of line when you set the hook. It's like a flipping stick with exceptional castability.
