Designed one by one for a specific field with technical assistance and expertise of Sandro Soldarini, these new Loomis & Franklin rods should be tried and tested before taking a look at the price, because they are really able to go far beyond the inevitable prejudices to which we indulge too often in the moment of the purchase.
With a technical background of such thickness, the number of models in the series has risen to a massive thirty-one to include rods for creek and river, lake and sea, as well as for dry fly, Euro Nymph and streamer. Built from Intermediate Modulus Carbon (IM7), they are structured in four sections and supplied with stiff tube for easy transport. Guides are single-legged, except the stripper one, which is a Sea Guide double leg SiC; while Switch, Spey, Skagit and Scandi are fitted with the classic snakes to ease the heaviest lines flow smoothly. The handles are made from natural cork, reinforced by hybrid composites in the points subject to greater wear, include anodized aluminium reel seat.
