G Loomis CrossCurrent GLX Fly Rods are one of the best long-range weapons you will find anywhere. This 11wt is the perfect choice for light tarpon fishing and combines a bit of finesse with the powerhouse action. When the fishing pressure puts those big silver kings off the bite, you can take this rod and go to slightly smaller flies and turn the tables in your favor. It is still extremely powerful, but casts a bit easier than it's big brother, the 12-weight and the subtle difference in rod weight can save your arm after a long day on the flats. This is a great choice for roosterfish and golden dorado, in addition to tarpon. These rods are designed to shred the wind, throwing tight loops and long distances. Like the NRX, this rod has a very powerful butt and mid section, with a progressively softer tip. The CrossCurrent GLX will make difficult casts to distant cruising fish in windy conditions and meet the demands of saltwater environments.
CrossCurrent GLX rods feature G Loomis Fiber Blend technology, Multi-Taper design, and quality components. This rod is finished in an attractive olive/brown color with dark brown wraps, a full wells grip and fighting butt. The reel seat is a green anodized aluminum double uplocking ring seat with a complimentary olive/brown graphite insert. Unbreakable wire recoil stripping guides with flexible nickel/titanium snake guides reduce friction to shoot line further. The CrossCurrent GLX is simply a great distance saltwater rod, at a great price.

- Matching green anodized aluminum, double uplocking reel seat
