G. Loomis Center Pin
Center pin rods aren’t new, but older versions were tip-heavy, making them tiresome to fish. The G.Loomis CENTER PIN rod is longer, more responsive, and dynamically lighter with the weight shifted towards the butt section.
The theory behind the technique is a drag-free drift, whether you're fishing bait on the bottom or suspending bait or jigs beneath a float. The reels, extremely smooth single-action models, resemble fly reels and have clicker drag systems to help prevent free-spooling. They have rimmed spools so the anglers can apply the necessary drag by palming the spool. Anglers used to spend their entire day trying to keep the heavy tip in a positive, upright position, all the while trying to concentrate on the bite. Now, we use a blend of composite and species cork in the handle to help maintain a delicate balance at the angler's end of the rod and split rings so you can position your reel where you want it. Add to that Recoil (nickel-titanium) guides that are about half the weight of standard guides, and these rods have the length, weight, and responsiveness needed for a drag-free drift.
