E6X Walleye Wbbr 2

The G. Loomis E6X Walleye WBBR 2 is a single-rod series engineered specifically for bottom-bouncing presentations made for walleye. Bottom bouncers are a fundamental mid-western walleye technique, requiring a rod with enough backbone to manage heavy wire rigs dragged along the bottom at trolling or drifting speeds, combined with a sensitive tip to transmit contact and detect strikes. This rod addresses experienced walleye anglers who prioritize technique-specific tool selection.

Built on E6X high-modulus graphite with multi-taper construction, the blank balances a powerful butt section for lifting bottom rigs against a lighter tip that communicates bottom contact and bites. Fuji Aluminum Oxide guides and a Fuji reel seat are standard. The rod is handcrafted in Woodland, Washington. G. Loomis describes the butt as having "just enough" power to control without adding weight, and the tip as "sneaky powerful" once pressure is applied.

The WBBR 2 is a single model at 7'1" medium-heavy fast-action casting, rated for 8–17 lb line and 1/2–2 oz lures. That lure range covers the bouncer weights commonly used from 1 oz to 2 oz in deeper reservoirs and rivers. The series sits in the E6X tier, mid-range within the G. Loomis lineup, making it accessible for dedicated walleye anglers who want genuine G. Loomis construction.
