Tackle Week 2022: The best new rods, reels, lines, electronics & accessories for fishing in Canada

Best Rod Series

GCX

We’d all like to fish with G. Loomis rods, but most of us can’t afford to—or can we? This line of 23 rods (14 baitcasting and nine spinning) incorporates the best G. Loomis features, but at a reasonable cost of just US$249. The carbon-fibre blanks are impressively light and strong, while the impact-resistant SeaGuide Hero One guides promise to minimize line tangle and maximize casting distance.
