G-loomis Gl2

[Ando73]

G Day All,

just getting back into trout / bass fishing, I am getting a GLoomis GL2, just wandering your thought on size. I was thinking 7.2' 1-3kg one piece.

I will be throwing around small trout repalas mainly in rivers and lakes.

i will be using a Stradic 1000FJ with it.

will 1-3kg be too light, I have in the past caught some large trout in the rivers 6lb +

cheers in advance

No idea about the ferals - never bothered to fish for them -  but for bass If your not trying to keep them out of structure, or catch too many, 1 to 3 will be fine (catch a dozen or so and your going to be totally worn out on a rod that size). The 100 series stradic is perfect, would go just as well on a slightly heavier rod if you think the ferals will need it or your fishing structure for bass.

Like feral said rod will be fine unless you are in really snaggy country and want to put more hurt on... 1-3's usually a bit noodly as well although I cannot comment on the loomis...

Trout are not dirty fighters where as the bass run for cover. I used to use a 1-3kg T-Curve for trout soft plastics fishing and it was fine for 95% of the fish caught. When using it in Tasmania it caught a Atlantic salmon over 6lb+ in current but was under gunned. So unless you are going to be catching big fish regularly you will get more feel and fun from the light set up.

I have the Loomis GLX in a bait caster and the GL2 is a good stick.
