Josh Linn testing a G. Loomis VersaSpey rod...

G. Loomis used a blend of fiber technology and moderately priced components (as functional as the high-priced stuff) to create a new range of two-handed salmon/steelhead rods. They are called VersaSpey, so named because of their "versatility. There are five models. Each model is perfectly proportioned in length, weight and handle size. They have dual line ratings, and each model will cast a fairly wide range line weights. However, if you are using the popular Scandi or Skagit heads, the line grain weights written on each rod will in most cases prove to be the best choice. These rods are designed for throwing shooting-heads. Shooting-heads are very popular in our camps, our guided trips and our region.
VersaSpeys have the best finish we've seen on any G. Loomis rods. The claret color is very appealing. All the components are very high quality. The lack of ginger-bread combined with the functional simplicity in the cosmetics is very refreshing. The handle sizes and shapes are comfortable and they promote fingertip control when casting, which results in precise presentations. The prices of VersaSpeys are also very appealing, costing as much as $200 less than expected for equipment of this quality.
Mark Bachmann, Josh Linn,and Marcy Stone put a lot of time on the water with these rods.
