G. Loomis Fly Rods — NRX+, Asquith & Spey Series

G. Loomis has been building benchmark fly rods in Woodland, Washington since 1982, and the current lineup represents the pinnacle of their craft. The NRX+ series redefined what a fast-action trout rod could feel like — featherlight, explosively powerful, and remarkably sensitive. The Asquith pushes even further, using Spiral X and High Density HMG fiber construction to achieve a stiffness-to-weight ratio that remains unmatched in the industry.

NRX+ vs. Asquith — Which G. Loomis Rod is Right for You?

The NRX+ is the accessible flagship — fast action, incredibly light, and versatile across dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. The Asquith is for those who want the absolute best, with a more refined taper, enhanced feedback, and a swing weight so low it must be cast to be believed. Both carry G. Loomis's lifetime warranty and are built entirely in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where are G. Loomis rods made?
All G. Loomis fly rods are manufactured in Woodland, Washington. G. Loomis is one of the few remaining American rod builders producing their full fly rod lineup domestically, and the craftsmanship reflects that commitment.

Q: What G. Loomis rod is best for nymphing?
The NRX+ in 9'0" or 10'0" 3-weight is exceptional for Euro nymphing and high-stick techniques, offering the sensitivity to detect soft takes while still loading well for longer casts. The 4 and 5-weight NRX+ models are superb all-around nymphing rods for larger rivers and heavier rigs.
