Gloomis Pro Green rods hit Oz shores

progreenI have always been a fan of the Gloomis Pro Blue series. The perfect medium tackle rods for tackling anything the deep blue can throw at them. To complement the Pro Blue range, the lighter inshore saltwater rod series the “Pro Green” were released. With a variety of lengths from 6′10″ to 7′10″ there will be one for you.

While they were primarily designed at species like Redfish, Permit, bonefish etc, they can be adapted easily to our local species like Spangled Emporer, Pink Snapper, Kingfish, Tailor and even Barra.

The first shipment has just recently landed so check them out at your local tackle store.

They aren’t meant to replace the softer, more delicate action of the popping rod, but to give the angler an option for aggressively fishing artificials. The faster actions of the Pro Green Series give wading and boat anglers, alike, more positive line and lure control. Designed to create quick, accurate “snap casts” to visible targets or long prospecting casts where covering water is more important, these rods have powerful butt sections to move big fish with ease and are still light enough to fish them all day long with minimal fatigue.  Source - Gloomis.com
