It's the preparation - the pursuit - the prize that makes
flyfishing for steelhead and salmon so totally consuming. Whether you're
skating dries on big water for those super-aggressive summer steelies
or probing the depths of a deep green Northwest river in early November
for a big chromer King, it's that sudden rush that overwhelms you when
the fly stops. It's all about long days on the river. It's long fly rods
and long casts, hooking big, powerful fish that make quick,
nerve-shattering runs. It's about fireside stories and comparing your
day with that of your friend's. More importantly, it's sharing our
passion for flyfishing along with an intimate understanding of what
anglers expect in a fly rod that makes the creation of our Native Run
Series even more satisfying. These rods are made to handle big water,
big flies and big fish. They're powerful, smooth casting and beautiful
to look at, not to mention how well they fish! They have graceful tapers
creating fast actions that allow you to fish all types of lines
effectively. They range from 9- to 10-feet in length and handle 7- to
9-weight fly lines. They give you positive line control for technical
mending, managing indicators and punching out those long casts. Our
proprietary GLX performance makes them unbelievably sensitive, but the
sheer lack of overall weight is what makes them a pleasure to fish all
day. All you need to do is focus, keep casting and be ready. When the
strike finally comes, you'll be glad you've got a GLX Native Run fly rod
in your hand. It handles the fish so well you can concentrate on the
fun stuff - like not banging your knuckles with those whirling reel
handles. These 4-piece rods all come with a soft, protective rod sock
and travel tube. Get your camera ready!!
FR1147-4 NR GLX: This may be one of the top rods for
fishing light-duty shooting heads and sink tips for big trout, steelhead
and the small salmon species. When you're heading to Alaska and need a
rod to handle multiple techniques, this is an excellent choice. It has
the length you need to manage fairly long leaders, it's accurate and
easy to cast. It will handle surprisingly large fish which makes it a
good rod for fishing the smaller, lighter runs when the water isn't too
deep and you can get by 10 to 15-foot sink-tips. If you're the fly
fisher that prefers lighter rods and a big fight, this is your rod.
