G. Loomis Asquith

G. Loomis Asquith Fly Rods are the pinnacle of fly rod innovation. Created with Spiral X Core technology, these rods redefine style and performance. Shipped Free from the Caddis Fly Shop.

The G. Loomis Asquith Fly series is the flagship family of rods from G. Loomis. Both freshwater (4 through 7 weight) and saltwater (8 through 12 weight) models are rolled on Spiral X Core blank in Kumatoto, Japan and hand assembled in Woodland, Washington. Freshwater models are the highest end dry fly, streamer, hopper dropper, or double nymph rods. Saltwater models will outperform others in any venue. Spiral X technology delivers unparalleled lightness and strength utilizing carbon tape crafted with high strength resin developed with Toray Nano alloy technology. These rods deliver unmatched light swing weight, uncompromising durability and refined fast action performance. This produced exceptional bending, torsional and compressional rigidity in all directions. Both series are crafted with premium components including: PVD recoil snake guides, AAA grade cork and a fixed hood reel with precision knurling. The freshwater models feature Fuji T2 black Titanium stripper guides while the saltwater models utilize Fuji T3 black Titanium stripper guides. Each Asquith Fly Rod includes an aluminum rod tube and rod cloth bag.

The more we fish the new Asquith ( re-released 2025 fall) the more we love it. The Asquith fly rod is the Ferrari of fly rods. Not just light and fast, every manufacturer has a light and fast story. The Asquith hums at any distance, it goes long, it goes short, it presents, it launches. Push it, back off on it, cast anything with it. Now that we have had time with this rod in fresh and saltwater we can assure you this is a truly unique rod series that will exceed all other performance rods you own.
