G. Loomis Asquith 490-4 - ROD1364

Lifting long line off clear water and dropping small dry flies into narrow seams requires immediate feedback and exceptional power transfer. The G. Loomis Asquith 490-4 4-weight, 9' fly rod offers fast line speed, crisp recovery, and effortless accuracy for demanding trout anglers. Ideal for targeting wild trout on rivers, spring creeks, and tailwaters, this rod turns over delicate dry flies, dry-dropper setups, and light nymph rigs with surgical precision. Its fast action profile provides the muscle to push through stiff winds while retaining enough sensitivity to cushion fine tippets during sudden runs.

Designed in collaboration with Shimano, this fly rod utilizes proprietary Spiral X technology featuring inner and outer layers of carbon tape wrapped diagonally around the blank. This construction eliminates blank twist, improves energy transfer, and creates an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The result is instant loop control, tight tracking, and long distance casting capability with minimal physical effort. Premium components include lightweight titanium stripping guides, recoil snake guides, and a custom aluminum reel seat with a finished wood insert.
