In abounding means acceptable graphite has taken a backseat to fiberglass and amalgam abstracts back it comes to austere abyssal rods. Graphite is acutely acute and failing but in assertive applications lacks the ability and backbone of today’s alloyed materials. Advised to aces up absolutely area the flats and bay end is the new G.Loomis Pro-Blue ancestors of austere angle up abyssal rods. These new rods are accurately advised to activity a failing yet able band-aid for anglers that adore demography on big angle with a graphite based rod.

The new Pro-Blue rods are advised with one purpose…to “make your day on the baptize a lot added enjoyable.” Acceptable abyssal rods are generally acutely able and durable, but additionally appropriately abundant and somewhat defective in the acuteness department.

When it comes to austere big bold like Tuna and above this is a barter off best anglers are calmly accommodating to accept, but what about those big adamantine angry angle appropriate in the average of the spectrum? Were talking about Stripers, False Albies, Cobia, Lingcod, Permit, Grouper, and Roosters and Snook. Sure, these angle can be taken on Fiberglass or amalgam attenuated rods but added acuteness from authentic graphite can absolutely be an advantage in assertive applications. There are those that attack to use their graphite inshore and flats rods, and while they will additionally do the job in some cases, there are times back you will angle into that huge abyssal fish, and that underclassed rod artlessly doesn’t accept the beef to get the job done.

That’s area the Pro-Blue comes in. This new alternation of rods is accurately advised to activity anglers a lighter, added sensitive, yet deceivingly able band-aid for fishermen that ambition monsters of the abysmal continuing up. Using a different alloy of authentic graphite the Pro-Blue rods are advised to bolt big angle on “not so big” tackle.

There are a absolute of six rods in the Pro-Blue lineup, alignment in admeasurement from 6’6” to 8’. They are accessible in both casting and spinning variations, but all are distinct allotment rods. The rods themselves admonish me of pumped up GLX rods. They affection a admirable graphite braid and dejected threading aloof like the GLX bass rods…only bigger.

To access the rods backbone the absolute bare is coated with a austere band of gloss. Aloof like any acceptable abyssal rod the rear handle is continued to accommodate anglers with added leverage, and Loomis caps the rod off with a blended cork butt. Loomis rods accept never been evidently flashy, and the Pro-Blue’s are no exception, all-embracing they are actual clean, simple, yet affected design.

For our tests we chose the PBR844C which is 7 anxiety in breadth and is a fast activity rod that rests appropriate in the average of the Pro-Blue calendar in agreement of power. We targeted a array of angle including Scorpionfish, Lingcod, and ocean residing stripers. We commutual the rod up with a Shimano Calcutta 300TE which counterbalanced the accouterments out nicely.
