The G Loomis Asquith has been around for a while now. When it was first released way back in 2016/17 the fly rod got a lot of attention. It was hailed as an upgrade of the already legendary NRX and NRX LP fly rods but could they really get any better? Apparently so and here is why the Asquith is known as pretty much the best rod in fly fishing.
