Last year G.Loomis made huge waves with the introduction of new NRX rods. These premium rods was a radical departure for Loomis in many respects including the blank material itself to the more aggressively styled split grip and hybrid guide design. The series has become a top seller for the brand and the company now addresses the opposite end of the spectrum with a completely updated series of GL2 rods taking out BEST FRESHWATER ROD at this year’s iCast show in the US. Shimano Australia has taken this fantastic range a step further by tailoring a select range to specifically suit our local fishing styles/conditions & took out the BEST ROD of the AFTA SHOW!
The NEW Sustian FG’s are one of the sexiest looking reels to come out of this years show!

The New Terez fishing rods are one of the first rods ever built dedicated to fishing braided lines. Using Shimano’s TC4 technology, these rods have been created to be the lightest and most powerful rod from Shimano yet; coupled with thin-diameter blanks, they will change the way you fish. With ergonomically-shaped EVA grips, custom Shimano aluminium reel seats and matched to new Fuji K Guides with Alconite rings, nothing has been overlooked on this series of rods. Both spinning and overhead rods are available in sizes 10-100lb. See them in action @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6IYkqxC4K8
