Shimano GLF

“Ironically the medium-light landed a 36” wide Cownose Ray and two of three of my largest Redfish (25-1/2” and 27”) while the Teramar has caught one Oyster Toad.”

“The blank is great but they definitely cheaped out on hardware”

“I have a Shimano GLF series 6'6", fast action and rated to 5/8oz lure. 20lb braid and 20lb fluoro leader. Took some finesse and patience to get her in. Had her up 4 times before we could net her and it was a blast.”

“I have one of BG 2500s paired with a Shimano GLF 6'6" med fast ($99) with 15lb braid. It's a real nice general purpose set up.”

“I throw flukes almost exclusively on a daiwa bg and 7’6 shimano glf medium/fast with 12# fluorocarbon. It is absolutely fantastic.”

“I've got a shimano sustain 3000 on medium Shimano GLF, and it's fantastic for throwing top waters, soft plastics, and corkies.”

“I am using for inshore fishing the Shimano glf medium Shimano GLFS70M with shimano vanford 5000 reel, I have taken 12/14 pound jacks and large barracudas, I have not had problems with the medium”

“I paired my 3000 up with the Shimano GLF series 7’6” and 15 lbs power pro. Fish all over Tampa bay and covers me on 90% of species- trout, snook, reds, mackerel, etc. Great set up couldn’t be happier.”

“I actually love a little Shimano GLF rod, it's rated as a saltwater rod but it's a good small cranking rod.”

“My two favorites are my duckett salt series and shimano glf, both medium fast.”

“I got a shimano glf 7’ spinning rod earlier this year and really like it.”

“I bought it as an inshore rod but it quickly became my favorite freshwater weightless soft plastics rod. I love that rod. I can’t find anything under $150 that I like more.”

“I paired my Sedona 4K with a shimano glf med/fast. Running 25lb braid and a mono leader for inshore. Haven’t had any issues with reds and speckled trout”

“I have the 2000 series on a Shimano GLF 7’ medium and it’s my favorite combo, not the most expensive setup but I’ve caught everything from bass to 28” redfish on it. And probably a couple hundred speckled trout.”

“i've been throwing a 1oz top water lure on my GLF for striper and it's light and handles the fish with ease. 7'6" MH. I love it better than my Toadfish inshore(another inshore brand).to answer your question,I love both brands but I'd go Shimano GLF.”

“I use the 7’6” version for my spinning reels and love it. Definitely a good bang for your buck.”

“I recently used a Shimano GLF as well and was impressed with the sensitivity.”

“I have been using the Shimano GLF and really happy with it for the price.”

“now I run a daiwa bg 3500 with a Shimano GLF rod. Love it to death.”

“Recently got a Shimano GLF and these are now my new favorites.”

“I have a GLF 7' medium heavy that has served me well.”

“i use these rods, i have 6 of them (tbf 4 are for casting reels but still) a 2500 or 3000 shimano is perfect for them for my application (gulf inshore. flounder, trout, redfish)”

“It actually cast further than my Crucial with the same lures. The stiffer tip section gives the lure a sharper twitching action on retrieve.”

“The GLF has a very soft, sensitive tip that's perfect for feeling subtle strikes and playing fish delicately.”
