Fly rods from the Italian company, Loomis & Franklin, are developed in close collaboration with Soldarini Fly Tackle and Sandro Soldarini. These are modern carbon fiber rods, which have a convincing price-performance ratio and very solid workmanship. With models for all major styles of fishing, Loomis & Franklin offers a budget-conscious entry into the world of fly fishing or a reliable back-up for advanced anglers - without breaking the bank.
The IM7 two-handed rods by Loomis & Franklin include suitable models for all casting styles and shooting heads. No matter if you prefer Scandi or Skagit heads or prefer to toss longer lines with classic Spey methods - here you will find a suitable rod for your needs. All models feature a medium-fast blank that charges deep under load and slings your fly with ease. At close range, you can use the crisp tip with its high return speed to serve extremely precise and discreet casts. Under load - ideally while fighting a fresh Atlantic salmon - the modern, high-quality IM7 carbon fiber progressively bends up to the grip giving you the power needed to land that fish. Other features of this rod series include an aluminum reel seat and chrome snake ring guides. The long cork handle is reinforced by composite cork finishes. All rods are delivered in a corduroy rod tube with sheath.
The Loomis & Franklin IM7 two-hand rods impress not only with their attractive price, but also through practical performance. If you're looking for a low-cost rod to get into two-handed salmon and steelhead fishing, or need a back-up for your next trip, then you've found the right rod.
