Description
Steelheading isn't a pastime. It's an obsession. Forged from experience, passion — and often a healthy pinch of optimism — hardened steelhead anglers in North America's Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Great Lakes Region slog through extreme weather swings and volatile river conditions to intercept these elusive migratory rainbow trout. Because no two steelhead rivers are the same, each fishery requires a unique application of tactics, techniques, and specialized tackle to slide the odds of interaction into the angler's favor. IMX-PRO STEELHEAD is a curated collection of cast, spin, float, and centerpin actions built to meet the performance requirements of modern steelheading. Hand-rolled in Woodland, Washington, rod designers tuned each model to the exacting specifications of top professional steelhead guides to ensure that regardless of location or situation, the IMX-PRO STEELHEAD series possesses the specific tools to secure success on the water.
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.
