GLX 23 Sjr Spinning
GLX-grade finesse spinning jig rods for deep-water worm and jig presentations around cover
The GLX 23 SJR (Spin Jig Rod) is G. Loomis's GLX-grade spinning rod series built for finesse presentations involving jigs and worms where a spinning outfit is preferred but stronger hookset power is required. The series serves freshwater bass anglers working deep-water structure, fishing jigs around cover, or any scenario where the bite demands more rod force than a standard finesse rod delivers. The modern throwback aesthetic references early G. Loomis designs without compromising current blank technology.
Blanks are constructed from a proprietary blend of high-modulus graphite with advanced resin technology, precision-machined with multi-taper micro-tapers at specific points within the overall taper to tune the flex profile. Custom Ci4+ reel seats amplify blank feedback for bite detection. A Fuji SiC K-guide train manages line cleanly and reduces weight. Premium split-grip cork handles are fitted across the series. All rods are handcrafted in Woodland, WA, USA, with a limited lifetime warranty.
Pricing: $479-$550. The four-rod lineup covers 6'6" and 7'0" lengths across Medium, Medium-Light, and Medium-Heavy power, all with Fast action. The 6'6" model (782S) uses a shorter handle (13.5") and is the only sub-7' option. The three 7'0" models step from ML to M to MH, spanning a combined lure range of 1/16-3/4 oz and line class of 6-15 lb. All are spinning format only.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 4 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
3 of 4 modelsThe only 6'6" model. Medium power, Fast action, 6-12 lb / 1/8-3/8 oz. Shorter length and 13.5" handle suit tighter fishing quarters. Uses 8 guides plus tip versus 9+tip on the 7' models. Spin A handle style.
7'0" Medium-Light model for lighter jig presentations (1/16-5/16 oz) on 6-10 lb line. ML power enables nuanced finesse jig and small worm work while retaining GLX blank sensitivity and a stronger hookset capability vs. A standard finesse rod.
7'0" Medium-Heavy model, the stoutest option. Lure range extends to 3/4 oz on 8-15 lb line. Built for heavier jigs fished around dense cover where a forceful hookset and extra backbone are needed to move fish out of structure.
