Okay, so the first thing you’ll notice about the GLoomis GWR 901C
is the color. The bright aqua color (GLoomis calls it “Seafoam Green”) is hard to miss — and rest assured you’ll always be able to spot which rod is yours in the boat in an instant. Color aside, does the rod live up to the manufacturer’s claims of being extremely light and sensitive and an excellent stick for large topwater plugs and soft plastics?

JD,
I have a new Willie Driftboat 17×54 and plan on being ready to fish winter steelhead.I have quesition about rods for salmon & steelhead.
I plan on using HSR981c for plug & light back boucing.I was thinking about getting some Gloomis HSR1021c for plug fishing for salmon. When using long leaders on plugs or bait&diver I was going to use STR1263c for salmon.
For steelhead fishing I was planing to use HSR9000c for plugs. When side-drifting I was going to use STR1024s in snagy water and was thinking about using G-Loomis STR1162S rods for side-drifting & double as float rod.
Your opinion would be great. Thank You, Mitch H.
Sounds like you pretty much have it all covered! The only thing I think I would change is the STR 1024′s for side-drifting….they’re extremely parabolic. With such a soft tip, your sinkers will be more inclined to fall into the gaps between the rocks and get hung. The 1025 is better…
Good luck!

The charcoal gray skeleton fish hooded sweatshirt by G•Loomis may just be the best piece of clothing ever made!
With all apologies to the black cocktail dress, the leather bomber jacket and blue jeans, I have to say that this baby is numero uno when it comes to the best-ever invention in the clothing world.
With GLoomis’ famous skeleton fish logo on the front, the hoodie is a smart-looking little devil, perfect for fishing on cool days, hanging around…or even crashing your ex-girlfriend’s wedding (listen to the voice of experience, mt friends!).
The best part, however, is it’s absolutely bulletproof (not literally, but it did stop a ripbait armed with 3 dozen treble hooks from puncturing my chest when it came back at me at 107 mph after I yanked it out of a tree).

GLoomis’ STR 1263C is ten and a half feet of bad-ass steelhead whipping technology. Read on for the complete review!

Hey J.D. — I enjoyed your writing about fishing for coho in Cordova, Alaska. One question I have – what rod & reel do you suggest for that fishing?

David, I ran a GLoomis STR1165C
