CROSSCURRENT GLX

CROSSCURRENT

Saltwater flyfishing is highly dependent on bait, cover, current and tides. Where currents cross creating rips, seams and turbulence - is the playground for saltwater anglers. It’s where the baitfish find sanctuary and the game fish come to dine. It’s where the depth changes on an otherwise boring flat that hides a big snook as he waits for unsuspecting prey. It’s how we look at the world of saltwater fly fishing and it’s what CrossCurrent is all about! It’s the culmination of hours of research... on the water and in the factory, creating rods with incredible lifting power and fast tapers that help you make tight, aerodynamic loops so you can punch out unbelievably long cast after long cast, even in a stiff breeze. It’s the beautiful appointments we’ve added to these rods to make them as enjoyable to look at as they are to fish. It’s the light weight, the power and the castability that makes our CrossCurrent Series the most dynamic, most popular saltwater fly rods in the universe. There are seven rods in the CrossCurrent GLX family, all 4-piece travel rods, featuring Recoil (nickel-titanium) guides and anodized aluminum reel seats with our “yin yang” cutouts exposing a graphite insert with G.Loomis’ iconic Skeleton Fish logo. Each rod comes in a soft, protective rod sock and travel case. Model

NEW

Whether you choose our standard CrossCurrent rods for back ups or for your budget, they are outstanding fishing tools. You might call them “power tools” for the flats. We use our “fibre blend technology” to combine the benefits of strength and stiff ness of different materials to build a powerful alternative for anglers at any level. Now in their new 4-piece configuration, these sticks are every bit as smooth, as powerful and as efficient as any fly rod on the market. Blending different materials allows us to take advantage of the unique properties of each without overbuilding the blank. Some fibres lend themselves to extra strength for extreme lifting power while others add stiff ness for faster recovery to keep the rod tracking true for long and accurate casts. Another advantage is the price. These rods are about 30% less expensive than their GLX counterparts. They aren’t as light, but they’re everything an angler expects in a saltwater fly rod, with power to spare. We call them our game changer! Th is is what our standard CrossCurrent Series is all about. Each rod comes in a soft, protective rod sock and travel case.
