Gloomis 4-6 Wt Flyrods

Gloomis 4 to 6 Weight Fly Rod



	These are the most popular fly rod sizes in the world. Targeted mainly at trout, but also capable of taking on smallmouth bass and panfish, our four to six-weights excel at casting and presenting a wide variety of dries, emergers, nymphs and streamers. Whether you fish streams, rivers or lakes, using floating, sink tip or full-sink lines, there's a rod here (if not three or four of them) that will blow your mind. Case in point, our GLX models. Lighter than seemingly possible, these rods cast tight loops at high speeds with buttery-smooth precision—whether you're aiming 10 feet away or 50. There really is no comparable rod on the market. Perfectly suited to cast small and medium-size flies in most conditions, the 9-foot #5 is the most versatile of all, recommended by virtually every fly shop as the prime all-around size. For small flies and lighter tippets, a four-weight will offer greater delicacy and finesse. Six-weights, conversely, will aid in overcoming moderate wind conditions, in turning over larger flies, and in landing the oversized surprises we all dream about.

FR904 Length: 7'6'' Line: 4
This is a very versatile small stream rod, capable of casting any small fly and even some streamers. It makes an excellent all-purpose model for smaller streams and shorter casting applications, as well as a very fine panfish rod. The GL3's stiffer tip gives it a little more punch, while the GLX's ultralight weight and Progressive Power taper make it feel super light and smooth at any distance.

This travel rod is well suited to small and medium-size streams where long casts aren't necessary for success, but light leaders and small flies are. The smaller, more slender grip offers added comfort, control and sensitivity for anglers with smaller hands. Despite its lower price, this is a serious fishing tool for demanding light-duty trout and panfish applications.

FR1204 Length: 10' Line: 4
The 1204 is a highly specialized fly rod, designed to allow a gentle upstream presentation for dead-drifting nymphs in pocket water. The extra length also offers extended casting range and better line clearance for float tubing. Fish it with a double taper fly line and it's an excellent roll caster, providing supreme mending control. If you're looking for a challenge, this is a pleasant surprise as it handles big fish remarkably well

FR1025 Length: 8'6'' Line: 5
This is a highly versatile size for small through medium trout flies. Very, very light feeling compared to standard 9-footers, the 8-1/2' length helps to speed up the false cast cycle. The GL3 is the stiffest of the models. And the GLX's progressive taper and fine diameter tip make it easy to load even at short distances, with excellent tippet preservation.

FR1085 Length: 9' Line: 5
This is the bread and butter trout rod for most anglers. A great choice for all-around versatility and performance. The GLX is the lightest, finest casting 9' 5-weight in the industry, as determined by more than a few shoot-outs, comparison tests and university studies. The GL3 is a little stiffer, punchier version thanks to its multi-taper tip. And the GL2 is a progressive taper rod that's tough, yet loads easily and smoothly.

FR1175 Length: 9'9'' Line: 5
A great rod for float tubing, where the extra length enhances castability and line control. The 1175 also makes a really nice nymph rod for larger streams and rivers where long casts, tight mending and roll casts are required. If you fish western lakes, this would make a delightful back-up rod, especially considering the affordable GL3 price.

This rod, at 8 feet, is very light feeling and capable of handling any trout fly up to medium-sized streamers. It's also suitable for small poppers in pursuit of smallmouth bass and sunfish. The smaller, slimmer grip is highly recommended for anyone with small hands.

FR1086 Length: 9' Line: 6
Ten years ago, a nine-foot six-weight was the standard for western trout anglers. As rod materials have improved and rods have become lighter and stronger, the #6 has taken a back seat to the 5-weight. It's now the ''in between'' size for the transition from trout fishing to warmwater species. Capable of remarkably long casts, the 1086 also has the ability to make delicate presentations-especially in windy conditions where a #5 can't quite handle it. This is a good streamer rod, and it admirably casts the oversized, wind-resistant poppers, stoneflies and hoppers so popular on the larger streams of the high desert. It's also an excellent rod for ultralight saltwater applications on the flats, going after bonefish and small mangrove snapper.
