G. Loomis GLX Flipping Series Casting Rods - $455.00 to $465.00

A lot of thought went into the new G. Loomis GLX Flipping Series Casting Rods. Flipping is an oxymoron of sorts. It’s considered to be a finesse technique, yet it requires brute strength to make it work. The finesse part comes in the presentation. You want your bait to enter the water very quietly because this is close-quarters combat fishing, and you need it to drop straight down to make sure you get into the sweet spot next to that piling, bush or rock. But you also need heavy line because you’re after big fish, and you need a rod with some guts so that when you do get bit, you can literally yank it away from the cover, quickly and with authority.

Flipping Sticks used to be a lot stiffer, especially in the tip-section, to allow anglers to “swing” the bait accurately - depending on that stiff tip to help set the hook, but as techniques evolve and styles change, anglers have discovered they have more control and better accuracy with a fast-action rod with a more dynamic tip. They can use the flex in the tip to help accelerate the bait towards the target and they can “mend” the line with their free hand to control the lure’s entry into the water.

G. Loomis used to make their flipping sticks with telescopic handles, but boat designs have improved and now, most have rod lockers that will accommodate an 8-foot rod, so they changed the GLX Flipping Series to a one-piece configuration. This allowed them to create a stronger, more sensitive stick that is noticeably lighter, and it also helped them increase tip speed during the hookset, and that means more positive control and more power when you need it. The G. Loomis GLX Flipping Series Casting Rods are so light for having such extreme power, there’s only one word to describe them… Astonishing!

Comments: just recieved 2 new 7'5'' glx rods, super sensitive and do palm great but these new glx rods are very nose heavy compaired to the old glx rods.I really miss the recoil eyes that were on the old ones.

Comments: Larry, you have probably never palm one of those cauz you would know the difference between this one and the GL2! Plus the foregrip is super comfortable and looks awesome, and if you don't like the design of this rod then why don't you do it yourself! Dude your talking about a GLX rod, those are freaking awesome rods to palm and to fish with! Super sensitive and lightweight, you really don't know what you are talking about!

From: Billy: Texas, USA

GLX 829C FPR. A versatile light-duty flipping stick that works just as effectively as a power pitching rod. It has the power to move big fish from cover and the tip is soft enough to cast comfortably. But it's designed mostly for the flipping technique where presentation is the key to success, especially in clear water where the fish are spooky and you need to drop down in line or lure-size to get bit. In GLX it's especially sensitive and light as a feather.

GLX 893C FPR. This is GLX's in-between flipping stick. It's still forgiving enough to fish smaller baits and lighter line, but it's got plenty of power. It’s a great option for fishing edges where a stealthy approach is key! It's length lets you swing your bait into likely spots and still get that vertical, close-in presentation that has become so effective, especially when the fish get picky.

GLX 953C FPR. Here's a unique rod that many anglers will find appealing. It's not overpowering, but it's more than powerful enough. It's longer - almost 8' - giving you tremendous line and lure control. It will give you total flexibility, handling a variety of line and lure sizes. The butt-section is very powerful, but the tip is slightly softer which will allow you to pitch when the fish are too far back to flip effectively. If you only want one rod that can do a lot of things, this would be the choice. Flipping is the main deal, but it will fish soft-plastic swimbaits, oversized spinnerbaits and talk about a super-sensitive, deep-water Carolina Rig rod... this is a dandy!

GLX 894C FPR. GLX's best all around flipping stick. It’s powerful enough to help you to manage big fish without fear of breaking slightly lighter line. A real plus when the fish get a little shy and back into the brush just a little more. Equally effective with a jig or soft plastic bait, this rod will give you total control when fishing in tight quarters, whether it’s thick brush or matted vegetation.
