G. Loomis Hot Shot Casting Rods HSR981C GL2 - G. Loomis designed these rods to pull salmon and steelhead plugs like the infamousS Hot Shot (hence the name) and thats still their 1 use. But youll see anglers casting them for silvers trolling them for big Kings or drifting bait with them for steelhead. The rods have light to medium tips and magnum-power butt sections which make them excellent casting tools and even better fish-fighting tools.
