IMX-PRO STREAMER
The G. Loomis IMX Pro rods extend the lightweight, performance-driven IMX lineup with a series of lure-specific models. Unlike other rods that utilise the same mandrel for multiple lengths and tapers, each rod in the G. Loomis IMX Pro lineup has been custom-built using G. Loomis’ multi-taper technology to provide the ideal strength-to-weight ratio. Fitted with series of premium Fuji K-Frame guides, the rods are up to 15% lighter and are complete with premium cork grips.
Key Features
- Chrome single-foot guides
- Chrome stripper guides
- Full wells premium grade cork grip
- Custom aluminum reel seat with fighting butt
- Tube and cloth rod bag (4-piece models)
- Cloth rod bag (1-piece models)
- Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington

CHROME STRIPPER + CHROME SINGLE-FOOT
Pondering innovative ways to reduce rod weight, our Chief Designer, Steve Rajeff, conceptualized a viable option. In 1994, after a few hours of tinkering in our machine shop, the world’s first single-foot guide was born. The weight equivalent of removing two full snake guides from the blank, this guide system is proven to be equally durable. Wondering if they reduce line speed? Steve’s won fourteen world championships using single-foot guides on his competition rods result is a catalog of precisely defined actions that strike a perfect balance between durability and performance descriptions throughout the catalog.

CONDUIT CORE
Traditionally, as the blank diameter increases, so does the total amount of material used. This was the only way of ensuring strength/durability in the bottom half of the rod. Conduit Core technology removes excess wraps of graphite and replaces them with a proprietary material that’s of equal strength, but dramatically lighter in weight. Casters exert less energy to move the rod, increasing the efficiency of total energy required to manipulate the line when casting, mending, and animating flies.

MULTI-TAPER DESIGN
Since 1982, we’ve pushed the boundaries of manufacturing technology, materials innovation, and product design. That’s why G. Loomis fly rods deliver superior performance, heightening angler experience and effectiveness on the water.
While there are countless examples of this philosophy in action, one technology in particular encapsulates our drive to build the most advanced rods in the world: Multi-Taper Design.
Multi-Taper Design is best described as a series of “micro-tapers” within the overall taper of the rod. This unique, proprietary process allows us to use more material on potential break points and less material everywhere else. To accomplish this, we manufactured a custom rolling table...and it’s the only one in existence today. The result is a catalog of precisely defined actions that strike a perfect balance between durability and performance.
