G Loomis on the Stinger Spey Rod Series
The Scandinavian style of two-hand casting was developed in the 1960's.
Anglers schooled on the famous salmon and seatrout rivers of Norway and
Sweden cast shooting tapers, floating or intermediate shooting heads of
30-45 feet, with mono running line. Instead of holding a fixed length of
line as in traditional casting, anglers shoot the entire line in one
stroke.
The Stinger Series was originally designed 3-piece rods,
but this year G Loomis redesigned them in 4-piece for improved
transportability. The G Loomis Stinger Series actions are fast and
powerful to help casters create narrow, aerodynamic loops using this
underhand dominated casting stroke. Their fast tapers allow you to make
overhead casts as long as there is sufficient room for a back cast like
on a gravel bar, generating incredible line speed for unbelievable
distance - something you might consider for casting from the beach for
saltwater species.
