G. LoomisG. LoomisIt's the season of love and G. Loomis wants to share some with you and it will last for fishing season after fishing season.

G.Loomis continues its "Guaranteed Love" program for 2015, enabling anglers to purchase any G. Loomis fishing rod - from the just announced E6X bass rods through the NRX series - and have a full 30 days to fall in love with it.

And, if you don't? Just bring it back.

Designed around a performance platform with a focus on weight, balance, sensitivity and action, the new E6X G. Loomis rods will appeal to anglers of all levels can experience.

The series includes 30 casting and spinning rods, offered in both technique specific models with exacting actions and ‘Classic’ models that have easy-to-cast, more forgiving actions for a variety of lures.

The rods were to be unveiled at the Bassmaster Classic later this month and appear at G. Loomis dealers this spring.


Any angler would be pleased to find a new Shimano Curado baitcasting reel under the Christmas tree.

And now, any Curado 200I reel purchased from participating tackle dealers comes with a holiday bonus package of Jackall Lures hard baits and soft plastics, valued up to $29.

A long-time favorite among avid bass anglers, the newly updated Curado reels are available in five models ñ the Curado CU200PG, CU200, CU200HG, and left-hand retrieve CU201 and 201HG.

Fenwick Redesigns Elite Tech RodsFenwick Redesigns Elite Tech Rods

As anglers grow increasingly sophisticated in their techniques and presentations their equipment must be able to keep up. Fenwick's revamped Elite Tech line of species-specific rods for bass, walleye, trout/panfish and big predators gives anglers a true tactical advantage.

Fenwick Elite Tech Bass offers seven spinning and 11 baitcast models for most every bass technique including dropshot, Texas rig, flipping and others. These lightweight rods are precisely balanced to be comfortable for hours of non-stop fishing and sensitive enough to feel the most subtle bites. Simply pick a technique, choose the Elite Tech Bass rod to match it and fish like a tournament pro.

Elite Tech Walleye rods are available in 11 spinning versions and one baitcaster with fast and extra-fast tips. Walleye can be very finicky and the medium-light and medium actions on these rods are ideal for precise, delicate presentations whether fishing with crankbaits, jigs, spinners, spoons or soft plastics and live bait.

Pflueger Patriarch XT Low-Profile Baitcast ReelPflueger Patriarch XT Low-Profile Baitcast ReelCombining high quality with lightweight components can be challenging, often leading to sacrifices anglers won't accept. The new Pflueger Patriarch XT low-profile baitcast reel merges the very best features in a baitcaster with a lightweight design that makes it tough to beat. This reel tips the scales at a minimal 6.28 ounces (slightly more than an iPhone) making this the lightest reel in its class.

To be this light, the Patriarch XT incorporates a rigid aluminum frame with carbon inlays in the body trim. Sideplates are infused with C45 carbon and the ergonomically shaped carbon-fiber handle is finished with an EVA knob sculpted over a carbon-fiber core. Durability and performance remain paramount to the Patriarch XT, with features not typically found on competitors' reels, including the Cam-Lock side plate, which allows for quick brake adjustments without fully detaching the side plate.
