North Fork Composites is Gary Loomis' next generation of rod products. Quality and
craftsmanship is what Gary Loomis is known for. Future thinking is the building block
of North Fork Composites (NFC), making them one of the leading innovators of “Made in the
USA” fishing rod products. Ranging from high modulus (HM), intermediate modulus (IM), standard modulus
(SM) rod blanks, to graphite reel seats, and carbon handles, NFC looks to change the industry one
item at a time.
Founded to deliver carbon fiber tubing for the sporting goods industry (Fishing Rods, Golf Shafts, Arrows, Oar
Shafts), NFC continues to be a pioneer in technology and manufacturing techniques.
NFC brings nearly 80 years of composite manufacturing experience. We believe that “impossible is
possible” and bring that vision to life through our staff and our products.
NORTH FORK COMPOSITES
INTRO
The balance of performance, durability, and weight are crucial when designing rod
blanks. These deciding factors of success has enabled NFC to become a trusted partner in composites
manufacturing. As a result, our products transcend multiple industries and are used by large companies like
Boeing, Google, and our Military. We are proud that thousands of customers put their trust in our products
every day and contribute with their passion!

Technology Overview
Throughout the last forty years, NFC has subscribed to one simple formula: “Weight is a deterrent to performance.” From
the beginning, Gary Loomis and NFC incorporated the GENERATION 2 (GEN2) formula of materials and manufacturing
technology to make blanks and rods. Our GEN2 machinery is designed and manufactured by Gary Loomis, which allows NFC
to roll parts at hundreds of PSI above industry standard! Combined with the latest GEN2 graphite technology, this results in
parts that are sought after by the finest fishermen, the tech sector, and our military around the world.
For many years rod performance was solely focused on modulus, and Gary Loomis is partially to blame. In his never-ending
quest for the next development in composites, he would introduce previous models in higher modulus material. Gary Loomis’
competition would try to replicate Gary’s products with their own version of “high modulus.” However, modulus rating is only
part of the story! Resin content, type of resin systems used, types or carbon fiber effect the flex, weight, and performance
of a rod blank. NFC selects the best material for the application scenario and is proud to offer our GEN2 High Modulus,
Intermediate Modulus, and Standard Modulus rod blanks.
Our manufacturing philosophy centers around: GEN2 Materials, GEN2 Machinery, GEN2 Manufacturing, and GEN2 Design. All
are dependent on one another and support the goal of making a performance fishing rod blank. We take pride in handcrafting
all of our blanks in Woodland, Washington USA by artisans that have over 80 years combined in manufacturing experience.

history
North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises Continue the Legacy
The partnership between the Batson Family/Team and the Loomis Family/Team is important to the industry in so many
ways. Both families/Teams have had an equally game changing industry impact. Long lasting family ties have enabled both
companies to excel in each perspective market. North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises, with their vast knowledge of
the industry, seeks to enhance and expand the industry, craft and art of rod building.
One thing remains for both companies, they share the same core values on how business should be conducted with
INTEGRITY, HONESTY and the WIN VS WIN mentality. The Batson Family/Team is excited about the partnership with
North Fork Composites by Gary Loomis to “re-shore” products made in the USA. The partnership is a strategic win for both
companies. The availability of products and the management of inventories will ensure the end user is receiving product in a
timely manner a definite plus for all rod builders. From the custom rod builder to the OEM, North Fork Composites and Batson
Enterprises will bring the best product offerings “Made in the USA” to the industry.

“The Batson team believes it was an inevitable outcome for both companies partnering once again. This is great for the
industry and the hundred of thousands it will effect. It is such a great honor and privilege that I do not take lightly and we will
do everything to make this venture a success.” Bill Batson - CEO, Batson Enterprises, Inc.
HISTORY
“This partnership was a culmination of many years of friendship between Gary Loomis and Bob Batson (1947-2003). The
relationship started in the mid 90’s when Bob Batson and Gary Loomis partnered on projects for both of their previous
endeavors. Bob and Gary had such a great rapport. Gary would send Bob rods to test and vice versa with components. Still
to date, Batson Enterprises has prototype or “experimental” rods in the collection from Gary Loomis. Gary and Bob not only
had a professional relationship, but personal one as well. Their tremendous knowledge base about the industry evolved into
the greatest respect for each other. This is why, together, both North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises have brought
amazing fishing related products in the industry.

Hand Crafted in the USA
“I have always said that I am not the best fisherman in the world, but good enough to fish with the best and to design a blank that
will help them catch more fish. In designing a rod blank, I listen to the fisherman’s wants and needs when it comes to rod blank
performance. After information is gathered, the deciding factor is asking one simple question: what do you really want the rod
blank to do? Will this rod blank be used with heavy line pulling from deep depths for Tuna? Or are you fishing top water for fish that
are jumping and peeling line off your reel like Dorado or Tarpon? Once the questions are answered, I have the beginning design
idea for the blank. The industry has been infatuated with modulus, mostly focusing on higher inflated numbers. In some cases,
this is good. As long as the design and manufacturing of the high modulus blank work together. In most cases I have felt that the
perfect material needs to match the design and performance of a specific rod blank and the way it will be fished. The design of
each blank and the intended use determines the material for the blank. Whether it is a blend of modulus materials or one modulus
material, the performance is of the utmost.” - GARY LOOMIS
passion
There is only one good reason for us to make incredible
blanks – so that you can make incredible rods for an
incredible fishing experiences. Year after year we push
the limits of technology, design, and manufacturing to
its limits. Gary Loomis has always made products that
are disruptive to that status quo.
Your passionate fire for the sport is what drives you.
Our passion is to ignite that fire within you.
Gary has stated, on occasion, that he can design a
rod that would never break; but no one would want to
fish with a lead pipe.
NFC works endlessly with production and engineering
staff to insure that the best blank is made without
compromising on performance.
This is the NFC way. The only route that Gary Loomis
approves.

PASSION
NFC stands behind its warranty and blanks it produces. Thus, If our rod blanks are not the best you have ever fished
within 30 days, we will send your money back.” - GARY Loomis

GENERATION 2 - GEN2
What is GEN2? GEN2 is Gary Loomis evolving the latest and greatest Materials, Machinery, Manufacturing, and Designs. Gary
Loomis redefined the materials and improved the overall construction. The complete process is thoroughly updated to meet the
high demands of today’s requirements. The designs of each blank is modernized to excel for the fisherman that’s requiring not
only the best of all worlds, but durability to outlast.
Machinery, Manufacturing and Processing:
NFC understands that the proprietary processing is the key to success.
Gary Loomis hand crafts each machine to his specific designs, hand
constructing the finest fishing blank. These machine designs, rolling
pressures, and assembly processes is what separates these USA
made blanks. Experience and knowledge is the pathway to success.
Features:
High Pressure S-Rolling: NFC designs and manufactures under a
proprietary hue to the exclusive designs by Gary Loomis.
Custom Cello Tape Tensioning: Seamless wrapping and tensioning
over the rod blank is key. Updated machine processing squeezes nearly
all air out of the rod blank, as is required for achieving the best quality.
Designs:
Gary Loomis has the latest innovation of GEN2 designs!
These new designs have been updated from his previous
models that have been tried and true for many years.
Features:
Paper Carbon Scrim: Exclusive to the HM GEN2, this not
only amplifies sensitivity, but it reduces weight. Integrating
carbon in the scrim rather than fiberglass, sensitivity is
magnified creating the ultimate feel. You will sense the fish
even with the slightest movement on the end of your lure.
Cross Ply: Material design layups and material positioning
is key. Proprietary and refreshed by Gary Loomis is what
makes his USA made blanks stand out.
NFC’s GEN2 blanks are the future of USA rod blanks.
Materials & technology
Our blanks have a soul! Why? GEN2 materials allow for the best possible
blank. All models of materials have gone through a vigorous updating.
NFC constantly strives for the ultimate performance. It is imperative all
materials move through the collective team of experienced personnel.
This proficiency has been proven through the thousands of blanks
manufactured over the years. Materials are kept in climate controlled
environments making every process integral to the success of the overall
product. Whether it’s an exclusive unidirectional carbon veil or machinery
designed and assembled by Gary Loomis, you can rest assured you are
getting NFC’s best. One would say that we are obsessive in making sure
that only the best have the NFC stamp of approval.

We don’t follow standards, NFC sets them. Our Standard modulus (SM-GEN2) is beyond
standard protocol and is locally sourced in Washington, USA. With large Aerospace
companies sourcing similar products, giving us an unparalleled advantage to the
knowledge of aerospace spec Toray fiber pre-preg. This material is made to perform
in the harshest of environments and will withstand the high demands of the toughest
fisheries, while providing the thrill of performance. SM-GEN2 is the perfect balance of
ruggedness and reactivity, at the most affordable price.
NORTH FORK COMPOSITES

Our intermediate modulus (IM-GEN2) is often referred to as “high modulus” by other
manufacturers. This durable yet sensitive aerospace Toray carbon fiber offers the best of
both worlds. Combining the resilience of the Standard Modulus (SM-GEN2), and drawing
on the sensitivity of HM-GEN2 this material is one of our top choices. To start, premium
Toray fiber is combined with a proprietary resin system with a unique design spec to drive
IM-GEN2. This is quickly becoming the preferred choice due to the perfect balance of
weight, performance, and affordability.
MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGY
paper carbon scrim
Our high modulus GEN2 material is one of the lightest, most sensitive materials available
in the industry today. Our HM-GEN2 is a proprietary blend of pure aerospace grade Toray
carbon fiber with paper carbon scrim (PCS) that is set to astound you. This is due to the
intricate configurations (up to 15 pieces in one pattern) to create the ultimate sensitive
and light blank. Weight is a deterrent to performance, and this material is performance
minded. When feel and weight is the demand, our HM-GEN2 delivers!

TESTING
NORTH FORK COMPOSITES
11
Testing
Our testing process is critical to our success and starts with every
raw material shipment. Consistency of raw materials (“pre-preg”) is so
critical that EVERY material shipment must exceed rigorous testing
and pass our standards. Gary Loomis has kept this unchanged for
more than 40 years.
NFC’s bar for quality is set extremely high. Thus, our process involves
breaking a percentage of blanks within every batch and recording the
results. The results from the break test gauges whether or not the pre-preg
matches our demands. Years of data allows us to update and compare our
breaking standards. Maintaining this extensive library of materials catalog,
along with a section of every roll of Toray is one of the many reasons we are
so successful. NFC compares the years of data to find any discrepancies.
If any data is not correct, samples can be forwarded to the supplier to
correct the material. This is just one sample of the strict standards we set.
This assures all blanks are made consistently from year to year.
Results
The secret to having an industry low warranty return rate on blanks
is controlling as many variables as possible. All processes from room
temperature, tape tension, cure cycles, etc. is crucial to making the
perfect blank.
100% of our blanks are tested at different stages of our process.
Batch testing blanks as they flow through to inventory allows you, as
the customer, to receive the very best from NFC. We understand how
unsettling it can be when a rod blank fails due to manufacturing defects.
NFC makes every effort to single out any defects in blank production
from start to finish.
As the result, NFC received thousands of pictures of rods on blanks
built by Gary Loomis twenty years ago requesting nothing more than a
cork touch-up after “modest use”.
ACTION
Action refers to the way a blank
initially flexes under load. A fast action
blank flexes more towards the tip, a
moderate action blank flexes more
into the mid-section, and a slow action
blank flexes fully into the butt of the
blank. Many blanks also fall into the
“in-between” categories such as
“moderate fast.” Understanding the
actions of our blanks and picking the
right blank for the job at hand is vital.

Power is measured by the backbone needed in the blank. The more effort it takes to bend a
blank, or a section of the blank, the more powerful it is. NFC power ratings are relative. The
power ratings within each category of spinning, casting, or saltwater blanks are related to the
other blanks within that specific category. NFC uses both a description of power (ex: MediumLight) and a specific number (ex:. 3) for the power rating for each blank.

BASS AND FRESHWATER ROD BLANKS
The HM-GEN2 rod blanks are the lightest, smoothest casting, and, we believe, are the most sensitive blanks manufactured in the U.S.A. Just how
good are they? In some cases these blanks are up to 50% lighter than comparable rod blanks. Our extensive Pro Staff of professional guides, fishing
publications and hardcore anglers alike agree that these blanks have no equal. Using HM-GEN2 as the engine for your rod, you can instantly feel the
smoothness of the cast. When fishing for bass, or other freshwater species, we incorporate a progressive taper design for maximum cast-ability. In
this series we have also integrated an ultra-fine diameter tip for easy loading at short distances. The paper carbon scrim (PCS) that delivers lightness
and super strength. Finally the modulus design blends are added to further reduce the weight and increase the speed of recovery of these HM-GEN2
blanks.

This lineup is exactly what you would expect from a company born and bred in the heart of Salmon and Steelhead country. Perfection. Our Pro-Staff
and house staff catches more Salmon and Steelhead (per capita) than most rod companies. We would even be willing to wager that Gary Loomis has
caught more Salmon and Steelhead than any rod company in the world. No matter what type of fishing you do, our years of experience will match your
highest demands. When you require a super soft tip for salmon mooching, and enough lifting power in the butt section, our rod blanks in this series will
give you rock star confidence. You will feel everything as the bait is being swallowed. This is pure energy transfer from the hook to your adrenaline.

BASS AND FRESHWATER ROD BLANKS
When Gary introduced the original design long ago, it created a fury in the industry. Our IM-GEN2 has evolved from the original design and has started
yet again, uproar. The IM-GEN2 graphite brand is able to insight a “snapshot” of what the lure is doing every inch of your retrieve. Every bump, rock,
weed, and strike is transferred directly into your hands. Even the most subtle movement will feel like your bait is being sucked into a jet engine! Distance
is another key factor to these rod blanks. They are designed for thousands of casts without a hangover for your arm in the morning. Accuracy is singled
out. NFC’s IM-GEN2 rod blank tips are designed to resist side to side torque. These blanks show no mercy when setting the hook or flippin’ a fish into
the boat. You will feel in control from the hook set to the victorious end.

Salmon / Steelhead ROD BLANKS
These are the go to Salmon and Steelhead rod blanks for personal use from our guides and pro-staff. The selection of IM-GEN2 Salmon/Steelhead
blanks are perfect for providing the best overall experience to any customer seeking rugged performance combined with sensitivity. These blanks draw
from the reactiveness of our HM-GEN2 material, while incorporating the ruggedness of our SM. As for feel, it does not matter if you plunk, drift fish from
shore, or use a boat, knowing what is happening on end of the line is crucial. These blanks have a light and receptive tip applicable for each style of
fishing. Unmatched balance of performance and sensitivity with no trade-offs, these blanks are set to impress.

Bass and Freshwater ROD BLANKS
You are an avid fisherman seeking a blank that will enhance your fishing experience, yet last for years of use. Meet our SM-GEN2 material. Anything
but standard, this aerospace grade fiber with a proprietary resin system is made to perform in the harshest of environments. Other manufacturers may
claim to have rod blanks as tough as our SM-GEN2, but none are as light and responsive. The NFC SM-GEN2 rod blank is class leading while retaining
lightness and are responsive by design. By incorporating GEN2, you will experience less fatigue at the end of the day. This will increase casting range,
and control for better accuracy. These rods are undoubtedly the best performance value on the market.
