FR690-4-GA

Years ago, a 9-foot 6-weight was the standard for western trout anglers. As rod materials have improved and rods have become lighters and stronger, the #6 has taken a back seat to the 5-weight. It is now the “in between” size for the transition from trout fishing to warmwater species. Capable of remarkably long casts, this rod 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 that are so popular on the larger streams of the high desert. It is also an excellent rod for ultralight saltwater applications on the flats, going after bonefish and small mangrove snapper.

Rod Case Included.

All our rods have their guides built up on the straightest part of the blank. The rods sold on the Edge Rods Europe website are the real Gary Loomis brand. These products are handmade directly in the American factories. Edge rods are made of carbon, therefore it is strongly advised not to fish in stormy weather due to the electrical conductivity of carbon.
