G.Loomis Pro-Blue high performance graphite saltwater spinning rods are not your average inshore rods. With cork handles, heavy-duty composite reel seats, Fuji guides and blanks designed with dynamic, fast-actions, these are truly specialized rods. They're a blend of the traditional flats and bay rods that allow you to wrestle big fish without any distractions or malfunctions. You'll feel the difference. They may feel like lightweights because they are, but there's a power so intense and mystical that you'll wonder how G. Loomis did it. Their secret is your advantage.

Perfect northeast rod for a variety of fishing applications. I use it to throw heavy plugs for stripers and blues, deep jig sea bass and tog and chunk live bait. I have mine paired with a Calcutta D and nothing phases it. Super light, long butt section for tucking under your arm and strong as a telephone pole with a light enough tip for good action.
Pros
  • Strong
  • Lightweight
  • Versatile
  • Sensitive
Cons
  • A little expensive

I bought 2 G Loomis PBR785C rods. The first one one snapped in half the third time I used it. The second one snapped the first time I used it. Both broke at the exact same spot. I don't know what G Loomis changed, but I will never buy this trash again!
Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Unreliable and brittle.

I really like this rod, I got the 902s on sale for half off and really wasn’t sure how it would be, but I’m really glad I got it! It’s light, has a good feel to grip and use, and has more power than it initially feels like it has. I was a little worried it was too light for snook around piers & docks but it has proven to be a great Rodger them. If I needed another rod I would get it full price.
Pros
  • Light, Power, feel

I was so skeptical to buy this rod because it was on sale and the rod line rating was only 10-25.
But I caught many 10-20lb yellowtails no problem!!!
Pros
  • Got strong backbone!!!
Cons
  • Rod rear handle is kind of fat

Pros
  • Cast great
  • Sensitive
  • Very light
