Product details
Description
Technology
Built on a proprietary blend of high-modulus graphite and advanced resin technologies, the blank achieves an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—critical for managing heavy sinkers, long leaders, and sustained bottom contact without fatigue.
Rolled on stepped mandrels with micro-tapers are placed at key stress points, increasing durability while allowing G. Loomis engineers to precisely tune the rod’s flex profile. The result is a technique-specific action that clearly transmits bottom composition and pressure changes, while providing the leverage needed for long, sweeping hooksets and solid control far from the boat.
A full Fuji K SiC tangle-free guide train improves line management during long casts and extended drags, while premium cork handles and a custom CI4+ reel seat enhance connection to the blank for heightened bite transmission and all-day comfort. The GLX CAROLINA RIG delivers elite sensitivity and confidence when every bite counts.

Ci4+ Reel Seat
CI4 is an original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.

TAPERTEC
The TaperTec design philosophy builds upon our heritage of rod-building innovation by leveraging mathematical modeling prior to mandrel production. Compared to an iterative rod-building approach, TaperTec allows our team to optimize rod designs and fine-tune actions before prototyping to shorten development timelines and minimize environmental impact. For anglers, TaperTec delivers lighter and more efficient tools with optimized weight and strength to boost effectiveness on the water.
