We have some major news for the 2026 season: G.Loomis has officially joined the Snake River Manufacturing Kayak Fishing Northwest Tournament Series presented by Diamond Parking & Self Storage as a 2026 Gear Sponsor — and they are coming in with serious heat.
For those who may not be familiar, G.Loomis is one of the most-respected rod manufacturers in the fishing industry, known for premium, performance-driven rods built for serious anglers. Having them in our corner is a huge win for KFNW and our entire angling community.
Rod Giveaways at Every KFNW Tour Event
Starting in 2026, G.Loomis will be providing one rod ($450 value) to give away at every KFNW Tour Event. That’s a premium G.Loomis rod up for grabs at each and every stop on the Tour calendar.
We had a taste of this at the 2025 KFNW Classic, when lucky angler Andrew Janke walked away with a G.Loomis rod. This year, we’re expanding that experience to every Tour event — more anglers, more chances, more premium gear in the hands of our community.
Special Fly Rod at the Flying Kayak Open
Here’s where it gets really exciting for fly fishing fans. At the Flying Kayak Open on Davis Lake in August, G.Loomis will be providing a special prize:
G.Loomis IMX-PRO V2 8-weight, 8’10” fly rod — a $595 value.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to fish Davis Lake on the fly from your kayak, consider this it. The IMX-PRO V2 is built for exactly this kind of fishing — big, powerful, and precision-crafted. Davis Lake’s largemouth bass have no idea what’s coming.
Thank You, G.Loomis
Please join us in thanking G.Loomis for their continued support of KFNW and competitive kayak fishing across the Pacific Northwest.
