G. Loomis Asquith Freshwater Fly Rod

The G. Loomis Asquith Freshwater Fly Rod stands as the flagship of modern fly rod craftsmanship, blending advanced materials, precision engineering, and hand-built excellence for anglers who demand absolute performance on the water. 

Designed for refined presentations and powerful fish-fighting control, the Asquith delivers unmatched feel, balance, and responsiveness across freshwater applications.

Built on the Spiral X Core blank, rolled in Kumamoto, Japan at Shimano’s state-of-the-art facility, the Asquith represents the most advanced evolution of Spiral X technology. Utilizing high-strength carbon tape infused with Toray Nanoalloy® resin, the blank achieves exceptional bending, torsional, and compressional rigidity in every direction. The result is an extraordinarily light swing weight, crisp recovery, and unwavering stability—allowing for precise casts at any distance.

Premium components complete the package, including Fuji T2 black titanium SiC stripper guides and black PVD recoil snake guides, ensuring smooth, efficient line management while maintaining durability and a clean, understated aesthetic. The redesigned custom fixed hood reel seat features a curved profile and enhanced knurling, delivering superior reel security and tactile control throughout the cast.

Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington and finished to exacting standards, the Asquith Freshwater series represents the future of fly-fishing technology—where elegance, power, and precision converge for the pursuit of aspirational fish.
