GLX Bass
The new GLX bass rods feature a new lighter and stronger blank. These new blanks are 20% lighter than previous GLX models. They are also better balanced with a 25% improvement. The new cork handles have been redesigned to reduce weight and size with improved ergonomics.
The Fuji K frame guides with SIC inserts allowed for further reduction in overall weight of the rods. A new surface treatment to the guide frames reduces corrosion for long term durability in salt or brackish water.
The new woven carbon material on the butt section is tuned to adjust the balance of the rods. This results in reduced fatigue when fishing all day.
Special attention was given to the appearance of the new GLX rods. A new partial paint process leaves the rear section of the rod is painted. The section of the blank with the guides has no paint similar to the Classic models of GLX. The wraps are also reminiscent of the Classic models.

Asquith Fly Rods
The Asquith series is the culmination of global cooperation in design, materials, and manufacturing techniques.
Built on Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X platform, the Asquith boasts superb power transfer from tip to hand, quick recovery, and increased sensitivity.
Designed by world casting champion Steve Rajeff, the Asquith is an exploratory step into the future of rod manufacturing technology.
With fast actions, and generous power levels, all rods in the series excel in fishing situations where developing high line speed and making precise casts means success.
We are always striving to push fly rod technology forward. By utilizing the global knowledge of both Shimano and G.Loomis we created the ultimate fly rods. The anglers demand better tools for the most demanding and technical fishing environments. The goal was to produce a lighter weight fly rod with improved casting distance and better accuracy.
Utilizing Shimano’s Spiral X technology and new Muscle Carbon, we have built a new rod blank that has less twist. The rods deliver the pinnacle of performance for the fly rod market. Utilizing classic bamboo or CI4+ materials to reduce weight, aluminum reel seats and premium cork handles all while giving eye catching aesthetics. The Asquith is the culmination of knowledge from the best engineers at both G.Loomis and Shimano.
