G.Loomis GWMR783C Greenwater Series Saltwater Casting Rod

I surf fish but purchased this rod to use on the pier. This rod is super-sensitive, even when paired to a spinning reel. On the surf, it performed equally well, on a calm day with only a 2 oz sinker. The only down side to some may be the one-piece construction of this 8’6†rod which may be an issue to some. However, the sensitivity offered by this rod outweighs the issue of transporting and/or storing.

Light weight and super sensitive

Parabolic and has a lot of back bone a great rod for boat and shore 8ft2

Crome Guides are so pretty with green rod. This is is for shallow water and also good for squid fishing.

Great rod, Very well built. Has plenty of backbone and yet very sensitive feel. Awesome when paired with a 4000 reel.

Bought this rod for a trip to Florida. It is light and has a strong feel to it.

The GWR901S can effectively throw any lure in your tackle box and tame any inshore or freshwater species. If I was blindfolded and told that I would be taken fishing without knowing where or what I was targeting, I would take this rod. These Mag-Medium Greenwaters can do anything. Awesome craftsmanship as to be expected from G.Loomis.

I bought this rod ten years ago to toss unweighted 6" sluggos and other light plastics (less than .5 oz) to striped bass from my kayak. It excels at casting light lures in the backbay.

great inshore rod for the backbays in nj. its light and sensitive for light plugging and for bucktailing. paired with a sustain 3000 fe it perfect.

Bought a 901S glx from tackle direct. Didn't know what recoil guides were but didn't like them when I saw them and tried them. Too noisy! Purchased a set of Fuji K series guides titanium with sic rings to replace the recoils. When removing the second guide from the top the rod came apart and had a metal rod in it! Used it once and the rod bent where the metal rod was. I was very disappointed. Called gloomis and they replaced it no questions asked! Awesome customer service and by the way the new rod is awesome with the Fuji guides! (:

This rod is so awsome its nice and stiff and has a enough back bone to pull in the big ones.

I decided to splurge and get the Greenwater GLX by G Loomis. I can't responsibly pay this much for every rod in my collection (although after using this one it has crossed my mind) but I'm glad I have at least one. This rod is an absolute dream. It is light, well made, the guides do not have ceramic to break, and it is also beautiful. The sensitivity is mind blowing. The mag taper tip gives the top foot of the rod a nice whippy action for excellent casting while leaving the rest of the rod length with its required backbone. I paired this stud up with a Stradic 3000 Ci4, also from Tackle Direct. The combination is excellent. Hey, with all the money we spend on boats, gear, preparation, and time on the water, shouldn't you have at least one or two rods that are the best in the business? Get this rod!!

Best rod I've purchased so far! Accurate and long casts. Using a conquer 5000 reel with 30# fire line braid. Nice balance of fast action and power. Kind of expensive, but worth it if you really like to catch fish.
