WHISPERCREEK GLX
EASTFORK
The name says it all. It’s hands and knees approaches, gin-clear water and trout with severe aversions for sloppy casts and the associated “plops”. It’s long, delicate, whisper-thin leaders and #22 dries. It’s all about stealth and catching fish in spite of the odds. These rods are based on the original StreamDance GLX Presentation Series and, like the flies we tie to emulate the insects that trout favour, have gone through a metamorphous in their own right. We’ve done some tweaking, made a few improvements here and there, given them their own colour, their own identity and made a home for them in the hierarchy of G.Loomis fly rods. They’re smooth casting, presentation rods for the angler that isn’t concerned with long casts or power strokes. Featuring the finest diameter tips in the business, they’ll track as if they can read your mind and load easily for short, precise casts and delicate presentations. There are seven rods in the family, ranging from 2- thru 5-weight, varying in length from 7’9” to 9’ and each come in a soft, protective rod sock and durable travel case.

EastFork fly rods are made with a unique blend of extra high modulus graphite materials to create a slim diameter, slender profi le blank that is capable of punching long casts out there with a lot of line speed. The fast taper and stiff power design helps the anglers to carve out tight, aerodynamic loops for excellent line control under all conditions. The rods are a beautiful, rich cabernet red with our custom-machined “yin-yang” bronze anodized reel seat that features a very stylish “burl” cork insert with the G.Loomis Skeleton Fish logo branded right into the cork. The rods are 3- and 4-piece, depending on the length and come in a soft, protective rod sock and travel case. The EastFork fly rods offer not only great looks, but match up nicely with the EastFork fly reels. These rods are a nice blend of performance and high tech design with less extravagant componenty to keep them at a mid-level price point. A real value for such a beautifully designed fly rod.
