The G. Loomis Greenwater Series Saltwater rods are not your normal shallow-water rods - these are high performance spinning and casting rods designed to fish in the skinny water where the fish come to eat. And how often do you find rods that are not only made for a very specific fishery, but also reflect that image in the color of the blank.
G. Loomis Greenwater core models feature G. Loomis' proprietary ''fiber blend technology'' and have Fuji chrome Alconite guides. Three other models offer the ultimate in light weight and sensitivity with G. Loomis' proprietary GLX performance. They feature the light and virtually indestructible Recoil guides.
G. Loomis Greenwater rods may be divided into three groups:

Has become my new go-to
August 18, 2022
I have several St. Croix Avid's and this by far is my new favorite rod. I use this inshore with a Shimano Metanium and it is sweet. Nice and sensitive, can typically feel every bite.

GWR901C Unique Rod
June 29, 2022
The GWR901C is a very unique rod. The "1" rating is lightweight for Loomis, and the tip shows it. But the combination of the Extra Fast action with the unique Mag-Medium power gives this rod a ton of back bone that loads up quickly. So you get the benefits of a very soft tip yet more backbone than you would expect. You need to know that is the action you want...it's really a rod meant for lighter smaller lures but in an environment where you don't want to be caught by surprise by a trophy fish. Giving it 4 stars for that reason...it's not a rod for everyone for every day use.

Great rod

Got this rod for larger inshore fish, primarily reds, and to use larger artificials. Very sensitive rod with great feel. Casts great.

Awesome light rod

Perfect for long casts on the coastal flats. Like the length for fighting inshore trout and reds.

Great Spinning Rod
June 24, 2021
I put a Daiwa Procyon LT 4000 reel and some 50lbs braid on this rod and have taken it out quite a few times on the kayak for freshwater fishing. This rod works very well, after reading the review of someone rod breaking I was a bit skeptical but I have accidentally hit it on my ceiling fan and dropped it a couple of times and it has not even scratch on it.
That being said I would definitely recommend this rod to anyone out there fishing for bass or pike. I've pulled a few big guys out of the lake so far with no issues.

Best Rod I own
April 29, 2020
This rod is nothing short of exceptional. It is a versatile rod that isn't just ok or "so-so" for a number of applications but truly a great rod for back bay fluking, striper fishing, sea bass jigging and my favorite as a tog jigging rod. Can't say enough good things.
Cons
- None

Great rod until...
January 31, 2020
This rod was great used it a lot for sheepshead because it was so sensitive and the bamboo felt great in the hand. But after about 3 years of use we were carrying it and hits something and the tip snapped. This was our fault completely but many rods I have used don’t snap when you hit a wall accidentally

G Loomis Lifetime Warranty a joke
March 5, 2019
Great rod, until it snapped into 3 pieces fighting a small fish. G Loomis refused to replace under their lifetime warranty, but instead "offered" a 3-figure replacement cost. The lifetime warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Pros
- great feel
- lightweight
- nice rod til it broke
Cons
- G Loomis warranty is useless
- Replacement cost under warranty is more than competitive rods

The strength and durability of this rod is amazing. I love the feel of the real cork as well.
Pros
- Sensitive

Feels right
February 26, 2018
This is one of the best G Loomis rods I have owned. The fast taper tip flex and speed is just right for versatile fishing anywhere from 10-20lb. It will work well pitching plastics, casting live bait or crank baits. Very light weight. I just need to make sure my kids don't break it as these are pricey!

Nice rod , prefer pro green
November 7, 2017
It's a good rod the 842s is what I bought. But the progreen 821s has a lot better feel for $15 more.
Pros
- Good looking rod ,nice weight

Worth the price

I surf fish but purchased this rod to use on the pier. This rod is super-sensitive, even when paired to a spinning reel. On the surf, it performed equally well, on a calm day with only a 2 oz sinker.
The only down side to some may be the one-piece construction of this 8’6†rod which may be an issue to some. However, the sensitivity offered by this rod outweighs the issue of transporting and/or storing.

- Super sensitive. Light weight.

- One-piece construction makes it cumbersome to transport to a pier.
