Smooth progressive loading, high recovery, and classic GLX lifting power for Steelhead anglers.

Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington, the G. Loomis RoaringRiver GLX Spey series represents one of the most celebrated two-handed rod families ever designed. Combining Steve Rajeff's progressive two-handed tapers with high-modulus GLX graphite, the 13' 8/9wt configuration delivers exceptional power with a smooth, tactile load. Built to handle mid-to-long belly lines, Scandi heads, and heavy Skagit setups with equal finesse, this rod provides deep-loading leverage to drive long casts and control large fish in heavy current.

Why You Need This Rod

If you appreciate traditional Spey casting mechanics paired with the rapid dampening of high-grade GLX graphite, this RoaringRiver rod delivers a superior feel on the swing. The 13' length provides excellent line management across complex currents while offering the lower-half lifting strength needed to manage heavy sink tips and winter flies all day.

Condition Note

This pre-owned outfit is in Great condition. The blank is clean with only minor cosmetic handling marks and light surface scuffs from normal riverbank use. The cork Spey grips exhibit light, normal soiling with solid density and no crumbling. The stripping guides and snake guides are perfectly aligned, all four ferrule sections fit snugly, and the custom anodized reel seat functions smoothly.
