IM7 Scandi Two-Handed rods from Loomis & Franklin allow for a cost-effective entry into the exciting world of two-handed fishing. This technique not only is incredibly fun but also opens up entirely new possibilities for fishing, especially for migrating salmonids. The Scandi rods of the IM7 series have been specifically developed for Scandinavian casting styles. The tip-action design promotes casting tight loops with minimal energy expenditure. Thanks to the medium-fast blank action, other types of lines and casting styles are also no problem. Versatile and forgiving!
The construction of the rod is high-quality and well thought out, clearly above the standard of many rods in this price range. The dark, varnished blank is built up with high-quality snake guides from Sea Guide and sturdy stripping guides with SiC insert. The ergonomically shaped cork handle has been adorned with composite cork in some places for reinforcement. The downward-locking reel seat not only securely holds your reel but also shifts the weight of the reel backward, ensuring balanced performance even with lighter reels.
In short: The IM7 Scandi Two-Handed rod from Loomis & Franklin proves that the entry into Spey fishing can also be very affordable without having to make many compromises on equipment performance. A well-thought-out rod that we can wholeheartedly recommend for those looking for a great value option.
