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 uses Shimano's Spiral X construction to support efficient power transfer, quick recovery, and sensitivity.

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 limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner. NRX+ rods are handcrafted in Woodland, Washington; Asquith blanks are rolled in Kumamoto, Japan, and the rods are hand finished in Woodland.
