G. Loomis Rod

[Steve H]

I just picked up a new Loomis Spey rod. It is a 14 foot GL3 10/11 three piece rod. Does anyone have any experience with this rod? What line would you reccommend?

Here above is a web link to the Rio line recommendations for most Spey rods.

I would contact Jeff Putnam who can tell you more about line choices than most.

I noticed that they showed a GL3 15' 10/11 and a 14' 9/10. Be sure you re-check the model on the butt section before you go any further.

Also there are many choices with Spey lines.

Most would be best off to just buy a Rio "Windcutter" with a set of 15' tips.

For longer, faster tips and big flies you might get a Skagit line.
