G.Loomis IMX-Pro V2 4100-4

Reviews

1. Rated 4 out of 5

   This model casts and fishes high in the 4-weight category, a powerful and capable rod that emphasizes performance over lightness. The length and strength of the IMX Pro V2 4100-4 require the mass and head length of an SA Infinity taper or similar long-bellied fly line. It’s more powerful than other 10’ 4-weights, ideal for big water nymphing and stillwater fishing, but not a Euro-style stick. It will be great on the lakes, whether casting for distance or working with a full sinking line. This model has plenty of backbone for aggressive roll casting and line mending, and for lifting multi-nymph rigs from deep water. So, it’s great for high-stick nymphing, but not delicate enough for Euro techniques.

   The 4100/4 IMX Pro V2 is not the lightest rod in the lineup but it has plenty of power. It is a fairly smooth casting rod that favors a slower casting stroke. The rod feels great in close and is a roll-casting machine. This rod would feel right at home on stillwater and is also a great big water, heavy metal nymphing rod. It doesn’t have the feel of some other rods in the IMX Pro V2 lineup, but that’s not what it is designed for. I messed around with the SA Amplitude Smooth Infinity on this rod and found it to be a great pairing for nymph fishing.
