Salmon Classics
G. Loomis salmon rods are designed for a special technique called mooching. This style of fishing is done from a boat by slowly trolling or drifting with the wind or tide. Both methods are effective, but each requires a rod that will allow the fish to chew on the bait and pull it down without much resistance. That's why our salmon rods reature a soft, moderate action. It lets the rod bend easily when the fish first hits the bait so he'll hang on a little longer (at which point, you set the hook and hang on a lot longer). Of course, these rods also have to handle the heavy weight required to keep your bait in the fish zone, so we build them with plenty of power to boot. The standard mooching rod is nine feet long, but if you fish several rigs at one time, you may want to use longer rods on the outside rigs to keep your lines and lures sepraterated. Longer rods also make it easier to handle the long leaders necessary in clear water with spooky fish.
