The G. Loomis Carolina Rods are designed to make throwing those long leaders and heavy weight much easier. Both are long rods (7'3") with longer rear grips for total, two-handed casting control. The added length also increases casting distance so you can cover more water, as well as long arcing rod sweep for positive hooksetting power.
The Carolina model is offered in the GLX version, featuring the Recoil guide system, and the new MossyBack version which is based on a special blend of graphite and features AFTCO Alconite guides. The result is an unbelievably sensitive, feather-light fishing instrument that will give you total confidence and improve your success immediately. These rods have a faster taper which increases accuracy by lowering casting trajectory. The power zone has been moved up on the Carolina rods, making the overall rod stiffer. Loomis managed to address this without adding any additional weight. Numerous field testers can attest to fishing all day long, hardly remembering holding a rod in their hands.
The 874 is rated for 14 - 20 pound line and up to 3/4-once weight. The other, the 875, is rated for 17 - 25 pound line and up to the 1 1/2-ounce weights. Both rods are one piece rods and are 7' 3" long.
The table below describes each of the G. Loomis Carolina rods. The rod handles are described in the next table below.
