G.Loomis IMX-PROc Creek Fly Rods for Trout

One would think Fly fishing creeks for trout would easy. It's actually quite challenging. Stealth is the upmost importance but when you have successfully acquired position, next your skills must come to play. The first time I fished creek water I was surprise by both how inadequate my skills were for the situation but also how poorly my rod performed in the same situation. Successful creek fly fishing takes much more than just any short fly rod. 

A creek fly rod needs to be a moderate action. One needs to be able to slow down their stroke and allow time to create successful presentations. With that moderate action the rod tip also needs to behave to help with consistent, accurate casting loops. 

A creek fly rod also needs to load with limited amount of line out. A proper cast starts with good feel even at short distances. 

And with those characteristics the rod also needs to track true to set up accurate cast. Modern graphite with advanced taper designs coupled with precision wrapping techniques produces rods that track true.

All of these attributes had to be collectively taken into consideration to produce a truly fine and modern creek rod. 

IMX-PROc Creek

G. Loomis IMXc Creek Fly Rods have all the right characteristics to meet the goals of challenging creek angling. In addition I have found an exceptional fly line for this type of trout fishing. The RIO Premier Creek Fly Line. This fly line loads the rod with very little line off the tip of your rod enabling the caster to set up for short, precise cast. It's a joy to fish with. Find them in our Fly Shop.

Winston Air 2 Fly Rods

The next generation of all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt). These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a heavy streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. From high stick nymphing, pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the new AIR 2 is a pack rod, a travel rod, a beautiful rod, and an all-around rod. It’s the new Winston. When you can only bring one rod…the amazing new Boron AIR 2. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time.

NEW Carbon Fiber Material

Introducing S-2000, which has a higher strain rate and greater strength per part. This new material allows us to reduce the overall weight of the rod while increasing the durability and ensuring a quick, smooth, modern feel.

NEW Boron Configuration

The new boron configuration maximizes the efficiency of the power transfer between the boron butt section and S-2000 graphite in the top three sections. The result gives anglers more control, increased line speed, and improved accuracy.

NEW Snake Guides

These high performance guides reduce line friction resulting in better line shooting, increased energy transfer, improved accuracy at distance, and smoother mending performance.

NEW HSR Custom Resin

Our new Custom HSR (High Strain Rate) Resin formula makes the AIR 2 lighter, stronger, more responsive, and it adds to the modern fast action feel.

NEW Box Elder Reel Seat

Our AIR 2 rods exclusively feature hand selected burled box elder spacers and beautifully machined and polished nickel silver fittings with an engraved Winston logo on the end cap.
