Rod Information & Power Ratings

Beginning in 2022, G. Loomis will standardize the numerical Power Rating system for conventional rod models. All future rod series updates will utilize the same Powers Rating system ranging from 00 (Ultra Light) to 6 (Extra Extra Heavy).

Example: We consider an 843 JWR (3 Power) a Medium Heavy. Previously, a 1205 STFR (5 Power) was called a Medium Heavy rod and will now transition to a 1203 (3 Power) to align with the new Power Rating of Medium Heavy.

Power Rating:
00 = Ultra Light
0 = Light
1 = Medium Light
2 = Medium
3 = Medium Heavy
4 = Heavy
5 = Extra Heavy
6 = Extra Extra Heavy
