G. Loomis' Asquith fly rods represent the culmination in global cooperation in design, materials and manufacturing techniques. They're built on Shimano's proprietary Spiral X platform, so they boast super power transfer from tip to hand, quick recovery and increased sensitivity. They feature SIC Titanium Recoil snake guides, SIC Titanium stripper guides, half wells flor cork grips, custom aluminum reel seats with bamboo insert and an aluminum rod tube with cloth rod bag.
