G-Loomis - Backbouncing Rods
|
|
Backbouncing is a special technique used primarily by Northwest steelhead and salmon anglers. To fish a pool or run, heavy lead is used to put your bait right on the bottom and, with the help of the current, literally bounce your bait downstream, keeping it right in the fish’s face. Consequently, the rod you choose depends on the power necessary to lift the weight off the bottom and still have sufficient power to set the hook with authority. A heavy-duty rod with a stiff tip is crucial, because many times the fish are smack dab in the heaviest current and you need a lot of lead. (Not to mention the fact that Chinook can weigh in excess of 90 pounds.) |

BBR904C Length: 7'6" Power: 4 Pieces: 1 Casting Preferred by anglers fishing smaller, shallow rivers, this model has plenty of power to handle large steelhead and salmon. It also makes a good light sturgeon rod. It has a long rear grip, and comes with a one-piece graphite trigger reel seat.

BBR964C Length: 8' Power: 4 Pieces: 1 Casting A stout, 8-foot version of our original backbouncing rod, designed mainly to fish for steelhead and salmon on larger rivers with heavy current. The extra length makes it a good choice for deep-water runs and pools where extra weight is needed and line control is more of an issue.

BBR966C Length: 8' Power: 6 Pieces: 1 Casting This is Alaska's version of the backbounce rod. Designed to fish extremely heavy current and big baits, this rod is strong enough to handle the giant salmon of the Kenai. Not for the faint of heart. Heavy line, big weights and virtually zero drag.
