G Loomis Asquith Fly Rod

Description: G Loomis/Shimano Asquith 8wt Used but in excellent condition - used just a few times (only on the water for a 2-day silver salmon trip in Alaska) - near unused condition. The G. Loomis Asquith series is renowned for its exceptional performance across various rod weights, but certain models have garnered particular acclaim. These specific rod weights—5, 7, and 8 —are particularly coveted within the Asquith series due to their exceptional design and performance tailored to diverse fishing environments. Up for auction is the highly coveted Asquith 8wt… •8-weight: The 8-weight Asquith has been lauded for its versatility and superior casting capabilities. In Yellowstone Angler’s 2018 8-Weight Shootout, it was described as “light, accurate, powerful, durable, and has a simply amazing feel to it,” securing the top position in their rankings. I can attest that this model is damn near perfect. I also have the 5wt which will not leave my rod quiver. Only reason for selling this one is that we moved from Alaska a few years ago and I really don’t have a need for an 8wt. It has rested in my gun safe for the past 4 yrs. More info on the Asquith Series: The Asquith series is the culmination of global cooperation in design, materials, and manufacturing techniques. Built on Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X platform, the Asquith boasts superb power transfer from tip to hand, quick recovery, and increased sensitivity. Designed by world casting champion Steve Rajeff, the Asquith is an exploratory step into the future of rod manufacturing technology. With fast actions, generous power levels, titanium guides, and exceptionally light swing weight, all rods in the series excel in fishing situations where developing high line speed and making precise casts means success.
