G.Loomis IMX-Pro V2 6100-4

Reviews

1. Rated 4 out of 5

   Rangy, capable and powerful, this rod fishes at one speed: full. Equally well-suited to stillwater angling and big-river nymphing, the 6100-4 also occupies a corner of the single-handed steelhead world. In fact, fishing this rod all day for trout would be a tall order unless the water is broad and the catchables large. Otherwise, like most 10’ 6-weights, this is a lot of fly rod for trout. The IMX Pro V2 6100-4 flexes into the mid-section and recovers with major energy. It fishes high in its line class but wouldn’t be described as “stiff” by most casters. With an SA Infinity taper, it’s like a 6 ½-weight, a fairly heavy rod, but the weight in the blank translates to power in the cast. Roll casting and line mending come naturally to this fly rod, so it’s an effective all-around tool.

   The 6100/4 IMX Pro V2 is a lot of fly rod, a rod that will be happiest chasing down large, heavy fish. Just like all of the 10’ rods in the IMX Pro V2 lineup, it feels heavy but is still a smooth caster. If you want a rod that is lighter and stiffer consider looking into the NRX+ 6100/4, but if you want a good steelhead stick that won’t break the bank this is a great option. With the SA Amplitude Smooth Infinity this rod slows down a bit but is still nice and smooth. If you want to quicken it up a little bit. the Rio Elite Gold would be a great choice as well.
