A great all around open-water crankbait rod designed to throw medium-sized crankbaits of all styles… shallow runners, lipless cranks and deep-divers. It’s an excellent choice for deep-diving lures like the 3/8 ounce Fat Free Shads, Deep Little N’s and Wiggle Warts, especially where accuracy is more important than distance. It works well in close quarters due to the shorter length. It loads easily, is extremely lightweight and has more than enough power to handle big fish. A really good choice for fishing Rat-L-Traps and 3/8 ounce LVR’s.

A slightly longer, light-duty rod designed to throw small to medium-sized crankbaits where extra distance is a factor. It’s a good choice for small deep-diving lures like Deep Wee R’s or Wee Warts, and the small Spots and Mini-Traps. It is an exceptional minnow-plug rod. It loads easily, so you can cast light baits, and it’s just what the doctor ordered for clear water.

A 7’ one-piece rod designed to throw medium-sized crankbaits. It’s a great rod for deep-diving lures like a Fat Free Shad or Wiggle Wart, and will throw a Rat-L-Trap or a Lucky Craft LVR that proverbial country mile. It’s stout enough to handle big largemouth, but light enough to fish smallmouth baits with maximum accuracy and control. A great all around crankbait rod!

When you have to resort to larger deep-diving crankbaits to dredge up a bass or two, this is the rod you’ll want. It’s extremely light, so sensitive you can feel a big bass watch your bait and so responsive, you’re ready for every move they make. The beauty of this rod is designed with a slower action to allow your bait to work and give the fish a chance to catch up with it. It’s a real weapon in the hands of a good crankbait angler.

Handle: C
Length: 7'0"
Power: Medium Heavy
Action: Moderate Fast
Pieces: 1
Line (lb): 10-20
Lure (oz): 3/8-1
UPC: ‍601040126134

When you’re throwing large, oversized deep-divers like a 3/4-ounce Fat Free Shad or a DD-22, this is a rod you’ll really appreciate. It’s got the power to make extremely long casts, fish the baits as deep as they can run and handle any sized fish. Want a great rod to double up for buzz baits? This would be a good choice.

Handle: C
Length: 7'0"
Power: Heavy
Action: Moderate Fast
Pieces: 1
Line (lb): 12-25
Lure (oz): 1/2-1 3/8
UPC: ‍601040126141

The extra length makes this rod a great choice for extra-deep diving crankbaits and larger lipless, vibrating lures. It’s especially effective when you’re fishing large flats where you need to locate fish because you can cover so much water. It can handle a variety of crankbaits. We’ve upgraded the line and lure rating because the extra length is all added in the butt-section which makes it a bit more powerful. It still features the more moderate action for which our crankbait rods are noted.

Handle: E
Length: 7'6"
Power: Medium
Action: Moderate Fast
Pieces: 1
Line (lb): 8-17
Lure (oz): 1/4-3/4
UPC: ‍601040126158

This rod was designed specifically for “ripping” lipless crankbaits in grass. It has more length to give you better casting range and lure control, but it’s still very light weight and powerful. It will fish really large deep-diving baits extremely well and has more than enough power to use for stripers or big pike and talk about cover water… this rod will cast a bait a country mile!

Handle: H
Length: 7'6"
Power: Medium Heavy
Action: Moderate Fast
Pieces: 1
Line (lb): 10-20
Lure (oz): 3/8-1

An 8' magnum, deep-dive crankbait rod designed to fish the big crankbaits like Strike King's 8XD or the Lucky Craft SKT110 MR. There are two great things apparent when you first fish this rod. One, it's powerful enough to throw the really big deep-divers across two counties and two, it will totally give you maximum control at incredible depths. When that fish of a lifetime whacks your bait, you'll be happy you have this rod in your hand!

Handle: I
Length: 8'0"
Power: Heavy
Action: Moderate Fast
Pieces: 1
Line (lb): 10-25
Lure (oz): 1/2-2 1/2
UPC: ‍601040126172

An incredibly powerful, yet surprisingly efficient crankbait rod for the new giant deep-diving crankbaits. It doesn't matter if you're fishing one of Lucky Crafts new SKT 120 Mag MR's or Strike King's 10XD, you'll be amazed at this 7'11" powerhouse. Casting distance is off the charts and thanks to its moderate action, the baits will deflect off of rocks and limbs freely and naturally, creating reaction strikes you never thought possible at these depths.

Technology

MULTI-TAPER DESIGN

Since 1982, we’ve pushed the boundaries of manufacturing technology, materials innovation, and product design. That’s why G. Loomis rods deliver superior performance, heightening angler experience and effectiveness on the water. While there are countless examples of this philosophy in action, one technology in particular encapsulates our drive to build the most advanced rods in the world: Multi-Taper Design.

Multi-Taper Design is best described as a series of “micro-tapers” within the overall taper of the rod. This unique, proprietary process allows us to use more material on potential break points and less material everywhere else. To accomplish this, we manufactured a custom rolling table...and it’s the only one in existence today. The result is a catalog of precisely defined actions that strike a perfect balance between durability and performance.
