You were stunned by the original GLX - the incredibly light weight, the tight loops, the cannon-like distances. G.Loomis' new Streamdance GLX HLS (High Line Speed) series incorporates the same ultra-high-modulus graphite and moderate stiffness that made you a believer with new high-performance components, a revamped appearance and specialized three- and four-piece actions to mesh with your stream and your trout. The fast tapers rocket your loops faster and farther by transferring maximum energy from your rod to your line, yet have soft enough tip sections for short-distance accuracy. Line flow is quickened by slick nickel titanium alloy coatings on the REC recoil guides. And the distinctively beautiful reel seat has an offset-oval sculpted barrel and a California buckeye burl insert.
