Another Great rod up for auction this year is the Loomis Max GLX. This rod is a four piece 5 wieght rod.From the Loomis website - "The Max GLX are the result of the need for ultimate speed and control under the most demanding casting and fishing conditions. Ideally suited to casters who demand fast cycle time, these rods have the extra-stiff action and fast taper needed to push either Hi-D or floating lines with ease, from the drifting boat or while drifting the river in a raft. Also excellent for long line nymphing with weighted fly or indicator, or to make a tight cast into a stiff wind.When you want to take control no matter the conditions the Max GLX is your rod."
