I just received an awesome new stick for the upcoming season – A G. Loomis 12`½” #7/8 GLX Stinger. Perfect for surface fishing in Umba, and Varzuga
The 12`1/2” GLX is A surprisingly powerful 12’6″ two-hand rod that handles smaller flies on lighter lines. Under the old line rating system this would be a 7/8. It’s designed to fish smaller rivers where distance isn’t the primary objective, but don’t let that fool you. It will handle big fish and big water just fine. I’m sure we will have a lot of fun together in the years to come
